LifeSense / Natal Chart

What is a natal chart?

A natal chart is the structured set of facts calculated from birth date, time, and location. LifeSense keeps it as fields and labels you can check and export, not as a reading.

What shows up in the chart

  • Birth date, birth time when known, and birth location as the calculation inputs.
  • Named fields per system: BaZi pillars, Jyotish signs and nakshatras, Zi Wei palaces, Western planets and houses.
  • Method labels, availability states, and confidence boundaries attached to each field.
  • Exportable as chart-facts-only records with no generated interpretation.

Why exact time matters

A natal chart with houses, ascendant, hour pillar, Zi Wei palaces, and some Moon or period anchors needs exact birth time. Unknown-time charts keep those fields unavailable, approximate, or low-confidence.

What a natal chart is here

In LifeSense, a natal chart is the collection of computed fields from one birth record across the supported systems. It is data you can read and export, not a judgment or forecast.

What stays outside the chart

The chart does not add narrative, commentary, or ratings. Missing inputs stay visible as unavailable or low-confidence instead of being filled in.

Use this guide with the calculator

This guide is meant to help you recognize the fields after the chart is calculated, not to replace the calculator.

  • Look for these method labels in the result: Natal Chart, BaZi, Jyotish, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Western Astrology, Chart Export.
  • Before exporting, check the time basis: A natal chart with houses, ascendant, hour pillar, Zi Wei palaces, and some Moon or period anchors needs exact birth time. Unknown-time charts keep those fields unavailable, approximate, or low-confidence.
  • If the result labels a field unavailable, approximate, or low-confidence, keep that boundary in your notes.
