Personality assessments, such as a natal chart or other forms of analysis, serve one main purpose: to predict and anticipate what’s to come as closely as possible.
The setting and environment where the assessment takes place will determine the depths, the possibility of replicating results, and to which degree. Hence, if it’s labeled as “just for fun”, take it as it is.
Natal Charts, Zodiac Sign, and Performance
The Sun sign, often simply called the Zodiac sign, is easily associated with numerous characteristics, depending on the framework one needs or wants to explore. That being said, it is nearly impossible to predict someone’s specific future and behavioral patterns using the Zodiac sign alone.
Yet, there is a more detailed set of information that provides a finer insight into the specific achievements and hurdles available to the unique person.
What if your name, your family, your country and city, as well as the hour and minute striking on the clock while you were being born, could tell you exactly who you could become? What if there was something that could provide security and support you by luck throughout the journey? This is where the natal chart enters the discussion.
Astrology, Not Just a Fad
From a theoretical point of view, it is possible to predict one’s future using stars and planets via a natal chart. This practice dates back to ancient traditions and, while archaic, can extract knowledge about oneself using celestial bodies.
Practically speaking, different conditions have to be reunited to calculate such data while navigating modern society. The person also has to be in optimal enough conditions to experiment and follow through.
Now, let us remember that astrological charts, aside from being a fun, trending topic, are issued from rural traditions. They are so highly cherished and valued that generations after generations have been trained to ensure the survival of the practice.
This awareness, together with the possibility to independently access at least partial versions of that data set via online calculators, is probably what is revamping the conversations around the topic of having a natal chart. Which brings us to the question: how far can star-based predictions go?
Natal Chart and Celebs
Astro websites and magazines like to post the Sun signs of celebrities, or columns about celebrities born on the same day as you.
Specific information about their complete natal charts is usually only available via more detailed research. They are sometimes under consent only, as it does entail spying on someone’s soul. And, while it can be argued that personalities under the spotlight silently consented already, we would rather let the argument evolve towards more ethical forms of accessing entertaining information.
That being said, some celebrities do make the information available on purpose and the results are fascinating, to say the least.
One fiery example is the singer, composer, and rapper Doja Cat, whose Venus in Scorpio-inspired aesthetics for visual representations of the dark feminine archetype helped her distinguish herself quickly, all the while gaining global popularity. The artist’s confidence is directly tied to openly embracing the darker undertones of her natal planets, which can give an entertaining and informative perspective on how different humans navigate. It can also show their perceived reality according to their inner cosmically-orchestrated chemistry.
Natal Charts and Sports
The link between sports and natal charts is both direct and an extension of the general attention that birth charts are receiving.
Sports celebrities, just like other categories of notorious professionals, are oftentimes put under the metaphorical microscope of the collective eye. And when this happens to personalities who have spent enough time under the spotlight, patterns can pop up.
Using the example of Shaquille O’Neal, who was supposedly born under the Sun sign of Pisces, the Moon sign of Scorpio, and the ascendant in the sign of Aries (always remember that calculating anyone’s score without the exact time of their birth can produce contradictory results, and that complete charts should include a fuller list of planets and constellations), we can have fun analyzing how the astrological transits can be observed through his life path.
O’Neal would always set himself apart thanks to the deep philosophical nature of his discourse, which perfectly checks with Pisces’ tendency to prefer philosophy over small talk and surface-level conversations. This aspect deepens even further with the Moon in Scorpio, sign ruling processes of death and rebirth, as well as intense emotional processes. It can be appreciated in Shaquille’s decision to express himself beyond his immediate field and develop himself as a musician and music producer, as well as an actor.
Moreover, with time, the immortal star has been expanding and stretching his career as much as possible; even as we observe his choice to use his physicality, Shaq never limited himself to one domain, and his CV is now as varied as it gets. This strongly resonates with the confident and action-oriented nature of the sign of Aries, which finds its greater expression as time passes, following the usual curve of the ascendant, or rising sign.
Natal Charts: Can We Bet on Them?
The short answer is yes. We can rely on just a natal chart alone. The extended answer is that this is unlikely to happen in real life, since sharp predictions always require sharp numbers, even when it comes to cosmically arranged circumstances.
In order for a full game prediction to be drafted and double-checked, the first element required would be the complete charts of all players involved. And, already there, we can see a rather practical than theoretical limitation, due to the sometimes difficult reality of calculating the reports for adults who might not have full access to the necessary information.
But, assuming that the first passage is nice and covered, the remaining labor would simply, yet not-so-simply consist of calculating the exact and unique forecasts for each player on the day of the match. It would also include extracting specific interactions from common or related paragraphs.
Some also theorize about this using a natal chart alone, which is likely the most direct and manual approach when online calculators are off the table.
