The twelve astrological houses in an Icelandic manuscript[1]
The original (Greek) term is Genethlialogia (γενεθλιαλογία), which means “the study that pertains to nativities” or “the study that pertains to births”.[2]
The area of astrology concerned with interpreting the natal chart as a means of describing the individual's personality, experiences, and possibly future events.
This is now the most frequently practised and probably most important form of astrology, although in the past this was not necessarily the case because most people did not know their birth times.
Natal astrology is separate from other forms and methods of astrology based on events, such as mundane, horary, and electional astrology.
