Natal Charts and Synastry
Natal charts interpret one birth moment. Synastry compares placements from two charts.
A natal reading
Birth details produce a wheel of signs, houses and placements. A reading considers recurring themes and tensions within that symbolic picture. Accurate source details matter, especially where the rising sign or house positions are involved.
Comparing two charts
Synastry looks at how placements from one chart relate to those in another. Sun-sign pairing is a brief introduction. A fuller comparison may consider the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and the angles as well.
Questions worth bringing
Ask which placements an interpretation uses and how uncertain birth times affect it. Compare the themes with the actual relationship and keep the discussion open to both people’s experience.
