As
the sun moves through the twelve signs of the zodiac, the universal patterns
of life exert their influence over humanity and all creation. Most people are
aware of their birth sign, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc. etc. and even consult
horoscopes in newspapers or magazines. These give a very general overview of
what is about to happen - a more accurate picture can be derived from the plotting
of an Astrological Chart.
A precise
chart can forecast major events or trends in one's life and many people live
their lives by what the stars say. In order to plot your own chart you will
need to know the date, time and place of your birth. You will also need an ephemeris
or information about the position of the planets at the exact moment when you
were born, plus a blank chart and information about the aspects of each planet.
It can take several days to plot a chart but once complete you will feel immensely
satisfied. Less commonly known is the theory that as well as exerting an influence
at the moment of birth, planetary aspects and positions are crucial to the development
of the personality at the moment of conception, therefore to get a completely
holistic profile of your potential, you should aim to plot a 'Conceptual Astrological
Chart' otherwise known as CAC.
The moment
of conception is not always easy to establish, as many babies are born premature
or late or even vary greatly from predicted dates, however, as a rough guide
you can deduct nine months from the date of birth, so for example, if you were
born 30 October 1956, your conceptual date might then be taken as 30 January
1955, which means that Aquarius would be your sign of hidden potential. If you
know that you were definitely early or late then please calculate the dates
accordingly. It is well worth the effort to be as precise as possible as this
will reveal to you aspects about yourself that may have otherwise remained hidden
or unfulfilled. For example, you may have a talent for music about which you
knew nothing, until your hidden potential was revealed.
