NATAL CHART
Through the natal chart, the position of the planets at the exact time of a person's birth is studied.
This reveals the different energies that may affect you.
This type of astrological chart is the most commonly used by astrologers to give a general answer.
SOLAR RETURN
Also known as the annual chart, the Solar Return is done once a year and involves the study of the astrological aspects that will converge when the Sun returns to the position it occupied during the event under analysis (birth, launching of a project, among others).
It should be noted that the date on which the Sun returns to the position it occupied does not necessarily coincide with the date of the original event.
For example, if Laura was born on the 11th of October, her Solar Return could be on the 12th of October or on another day.
With the Solar Return you can learn about the energetic trends of the year, personal challenges and the most favourable times.
LUNAR RETURN
Like the Solar Return, the Lunar Return is calculated considering the moment when the Moon returns to the position it had during the event being consulted, a phenomenon that occurs at least once a month.
This study is mainly used to observe the subject's emotional world, their role in relationships, the process of adaptation, attention to basic needs and contact with the feminine.
SYNASTRY
Synastry is the comparison of two natal charts with the aim of analyzing the level of compatibility between two individuals.
This type of astrological chart is often used for romantic relationships; however, it also works in the case of coworkers.
TRANSITS
The transit chart compares the movements and aspects of the planets (daily, weekly and monthly) with the positions of the planets in the natal chart (by house and sign).
Transits are the most commonly used elements in the elaboration of horoscopes, with daily, weekly, monthly, and some yearly forecasts.
DRACONIC CHART
This is an astrological chart calculated using the Draconian zodiac, which places the North Node at 0 degrees of Aries (the planets will move the same number of degrees as required by the North Node to reach the mentioned position).
There are other types of astrological charts: harmonic charts; local space; lunar opposition; multi-compound; and progressed composite (among others),which are the subject of specialised astrological studies.
RELOCATED CHART
The Relocated Chart is a natal chart using the original values of date and time of birth, but changing the location.
This type of study is used when there has been a move or a long journey away from the place where the event took place.
