Filling Out Your Natal Chart

1
Figure out the time, date, and year you were born. These specific details are all you will need to create a natal chart for yourself. If you aren’t sure of the specifics, try to track down your birth certificate—it’s super important that your info is accurate!^{[1]

- If you’re going to be comparing your chart to someone else’s (like your partner or your crush), get their info as well. That way, you can make them an accurate chart.
2
Plug in your information into a natal chart website. There are tons of free websites you can use by doing a simple Google search. Once you enter your information, you’ll be able to see your own natal chart, which will look like a circle.^{[2]

Seventh House Compatibility

1
Check out your rising sun sign, or your seventh house. Your rising sun sign, also called your ascendant or the seventh house, is usually on the left side of your natal chart. It will contain the symbol of your rising sign, which may be any of the zodiac signs. Once you figure out your own rising sign, you can use it to learn more about who you might fall in love with.^{[3]

2
Research the sign that’s opposite your seventh house. The sign that’s opposite your own rising sign is the one you’re most compatible with. For instance, if your rising sign is Pisces, then you’re most compatible with Virgos. Opposites attract, and your natal chart will definitely reflect that.^{[4]

- Taurus and Scorpio
- Gemini and Sagittarius
- Cancer and Capricorn
- Leo and Aquarius
- Virgo and Pisces

Look for a partner whose sign is opposite to yours. Once you find out who your opposite sign is, you can try finding your soulmate that way! As you search for a partner, try to look for someone with the opposite sign as you. Chances are, you’ll be more compatible with them than any of the other zodiac signs out there.

Mars and Venus Connections

1
Look at the degree of Mars and Venus in your chart. Venus tells you how you’ll be most happy, while Mars explains who you’ll be most sexually compatible with. On the bottom of your natal chart, you’ll find a key that explains the degree of Mars and Venus in your chart. Check out those numbers and remember them so you can compare them.^{[5]

2
Compare the degree in another person’s chart. If you and your partner are compatible, your Mars and Venus will be within 10 or so degrees of each other. For instance, if your Mars is 15 degrees, your partner’s should hopefully be from 10 degrees to 20 degrees.
3
Look for a partner whose degree of Mars and Venus is closest to yours. The closer the degrees are in your charts, the more likely it is that you will find love with this person. As you look for a date, ask to see their natal chart and then compare your Mars and Venus degrees. Chances are, the person you end up with will have their Mars and Venus very close to yours.

North Nodes of the Moon Compatibility

1
Look up your north node dates. The north node is when the moon moves past the ecliptic (Earth’s orbit in relation to the sky) as it travels around the hemisphere. When your north node awakens, it usually means that you’ve met someone important in your life. For your exact north node dates, use an online calculator.^{[6]

2
Compare your north node dates to someone else's dates. The closer they are together, the more likely it is that you two already have a connection. Many astrologers believe that when you share the same nodes as someone else, you have an inherent spiritual connection with them.^{[7]

- You’ll most likely share the same nodes as someone if their birthday is near yours or if they are exactly 9 to 10 years older or younger than you.
