Natal Chart
Your natal chart is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. It is the foundation of everything in Duocosm.
The chart wheel
The wheel is divided into 12 houses (sectors) and shows the position of 10 planets at your birth. Planets are shown as glyphs on the wheel. Your Sun, Moon, and Rising signs are highlighted below the wheel as your Big Three.
Key points on the wheel
| Point | What it means |
|---|---|
| Ascendant (↑) | The sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth — your outward style and first impression |
| Midheaven (MC) | The highest point in the sky — career, public life, ambitions |
| Sun ☉ | Your core identity and life force |
| Moon ☽ | Your emotional world, instincts, and inner life |
Planetary positions
Below the wheel, each planet's sign, house, and degree is listed. Click any row to read a personalised interpretation of that placement.
Retrograde planets are marked with ℞.
House unlocks
Your chart is divided into 12 houses. House 1 is always unlocked. Each additional house reveals a deeper interpretation of that area of life.
| House | Domain |
|---|---|
| 1st | Identity & Self |
| 2nd | Resources & Values |
| 3rd | Communication & Mind |
| 4th | Home & Roots |
| 5th | Creativity & Joy |
| 6th | Health & Service |
| 7th | Partnerships |
| 8th | Transformation |
| 9th | Philosophy & Expansion |
| 10th | Career & Legacy |
| 11th | Community & Vision |
| 12th | Solitude & Spirit |
Houses are unlocked using Silver (☽). Cost scales with depth:
| Houses | Silver cost |
|---|---|
| H2 – H5 | 50 ☽ each |
| H6 – H9 | 75 ☽ each |
| H10 – H12 | 100 ☽ each |
Unlocked houses show ✦ next to their name. Locked houses show ○ and can be opened by clicking them.
Tip: Start with the house containing your Sun or Moon — these tend to be most immediately recognisable.

Aspects
Aspects are the angular relationships between planets — they describe how different energies in your chart interact. Duocosm displays the five major aspects: conjunction, opposition, trine, square, and sextile.
Each aspect shows its orb in degrees — the closer to 0°, the more exact (and prominent) the aspect is in your life. Click any aspect row for a personalised interpretation.
