Natal Charts (EP21 Recap)
In this week’s episode, my co-host Jaime and I are back and continuing our exploration of astrology. In this episode, we explore reading our own natal charts and the important parts to make note of while doing so. In the episode, we dig into the houses, aspects, and other pertinent points in your chart so you can better understand yourself through astrology.
In our previous episode, Astrology 101, we laid the foundation with the signs and their attributes. While in this episode, we focus on painting a portrait with these and determining how you should be reading your own interpretations. One of the easiest ways to understand the nature of our complex charts is to understand that the planets show us what energy is expressed, the signs show us how the energy is expressed, and the houses show us where it’s expressed.
We have some hidden gems in the episode that won’t be covered here, but for your viewing pleasure, we’re summarizing some of the larger topics below.

Favorite Websites:
✩ astro.com: This website is one of my favorites for detailed charts and their selection of chart types!
✩ astro-seek.com: This website has very detailed breakdowns in plain language about our chart as a whole. It even takes into consideration the houses your signs/planets fall into.
✩ astro-charts.com: This website is just beautiful! It doesn’t have the same extensive chart type collection, but it’s a great starter website and the aesthetic is top-notch. It also includes a lot of details and it’s displayed in a way that is very beginner-friendly.
✩ innerskyacademy.com: I couldn’t compile this list without mentioning my favorite astrologer, Nora, and her website. The chart calculator is great and her blog is a wealth of a resource.
