Q&A for How to Create an Astrological Chart

A newspaper/TV horoscope only 'sees' your sun sign and is often made with no actual information. This helps with a personalized horoscope: one designed just for you.

Houses can be only determined accurately if your birth time is known. Each house is represented by an aspect in your life. Most sun sign horoscopes (the ones in newspapers) omit this technique in astrology; thus, only a small part of astrology is displayed. Contact a professional astrologer for an in-depth reading of your natal chart. They also can construct your natal chart accurately.

There are way too many factors to give a simple answer to this. It can get so complicated you'd honestly be better off consulting a professional astrologer. But this would be best done with a transit reading (comparing the natal chart aspected to current planetary positions). Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, and Saturn all often have a unique relationship to finances. The 2nd and 8th houses are also significant, and the 6th and 10th houses relate to job/career issues in particular. (For more generalized trends, you might also consider what's called a "progressed" chart reading.)

Check the cusp sign from this list: Aries-Taurus cusp (April 19 to April 20) ...Taurus-Gemini (May 20 to May 21) ...Gemini-Cancer (June 20 to June 21) ...Cancer-Leo (July 22 to July 23) ... Leo-Virgo (August 22 to August 23) ...Virgo-Libra (September 22 to September 23) ...Libra-Scorpio (October 22 to October 23) ... Scorpio-Sagittarius (November 21 to November 22).

You could learn to create your own chart, or you could just have the chart done with a throwaway email address. Creating your own chart requires a great deal of conversion work, done with either a computer or by hand, which can be expensive or time-consuming.

For this you have to go to the hospital where you were born and see the records of your birth.

You would have to find someone who knows how to do it and is willing to teach you. There are also many books about astrology. Ask at a library or bookstore.

You can still create a chart without knowing your birth time, but the chart will be less accurate.
