An astrological chart is vital to the study of astrology. This chart determines the positions and angles of the Moon, Sun and the various planets at the given time of a person’s birth. These positions on an astrological chart help astrologers to determine things like what you were in your previous life, major events in your present life and when they will take place etc.

The astrological chart of a person is also known as his or her horoscope and is peculiar to that person and that person only. The astrological chart is also used as a tool to check compatibility between two people. This concept is a very common custom especially for people in India where no talk of marriage is done until the horoscopes of both the prospective bride and the prospective groom are ‘matched’.
