Definition
A diagram of celestial positions and local chart angles for a particular time and place.
Why it matters
A birth chart brings several pieces of information into one diagram: zodiac positions, chart angles, houses and aspects for a particular time and place.
Example
Two people born on the same date can share a Sun sign but have different Ascendants and house placements if they were born at different times or locations.
Common confusion
The astronomical positions used to construct a chart can be calculated. The meanings astrologers assign to those positions are interpretations, not scientifically established effects.
