birth chart
/bɜːrθ tʃɑːrt/
CommonA map of where all the planets were at the exact moment you were born, used in astrology to analyze personality and predict life patterns.
Pulling someone's birth chart is seen as a more serious investment in astrological analysis than just knowing their sun sign. People who go deep on birth charts are signaling real commitment to the practice.
