What is a birth chart?
How can you tell if your child’s birth chart is good or bad? What can be done to rectify a bad birth chart?

“What is a birth chart? How can you tell if your child’s birth chart is good or bad? What can be done to rectify a bad birth chart?” is a question I answered on Quora.

Here’s my view on this…
A birth-chart is a reflection of a moment in time, and space (the solar system) as viewed from a place on the Earth.

There is no “good or bad” birth-chart per se

A given chart represents the situation a soul (or psyche) is born into, that it needs to work with in this lifetime.

A chart can be rectified if needing to be adjusted for an exact time of birth. However, a situation cannot be changed by attempting to rectify, what is seen as, a “bad” birth-chart to a more favourable time. When we are born we are born… The chart itself has no power but to mirror the situation one is born into.

It may be the potential of the situation will be to flower almost effortlessly for that soul, or it may be the soul is faced with some tough challenges in life.

But the person can learn to apply their energies to the best outcome for them.

It may be said that a person handling a tough situation in life has a better chance of awakening and making spiritual progress than someone with an easier time of it – and that is why they have chosen a challenging situation – but it so depends on the strength and commitment of the soul involved once they have entered into the live situation.

I hope this helps.
