Alright, so the other day I got this idea to check out Peter Navarro’s birth chart. Not because I’m some astrology guru, far from it, but I was just curious about the whole process, you know? How do you even go about doing that?
My Dive into It
First thing I did, obviously, was try to find his birth details. You need a date, a time, and a place of birth. Sounds simple, but for public figures, sometimes that birth time is like finding a needle in a haystack. I spent a good while just poking around online, various bio sites, news articles, that sort of thing. The date and place are usually out there, but the exact minute? Not always.
I remember reading that without an accurate birth time, some key parts of the chart, especially what they call the Rising sign, can be off. And that Rising sign, along with your Sun and Moon signs, makes up your “Big Three.” They say these three are super important for painting a picture of your personality. So, getting that time right, or at least as close as possible, felt kind of important if I was going to do this properly.
Anyway, once I had what I could get my hands on – let’s just say for the sake of actually doing it, if the time wasn’t available, I’d probably just use noon as a placeholder, which is a common trick – I moved on to the next step. I found one of those free birth chart calculator websites. There are tons of them out there, really. No need for fancy software for a quick look-see.
I just typed in the information I had: name, date of birth, the time (or my best guess), and the city and country of birth. Then I hit the “generate chart” button, or whatever it was called on that particular site.
Looking at the Chart Itself
And then, presto! This circular diagram popped up, full of symbols and lines. That’s the natal chart, or birth chart. They describe it as basically a snapshot, a map of where all the planets were hanging out in the sky at the exact moment and location someone was born. It’s pure astronomy in that sense, just planetary positions.
So, I started to scan the chart. My eyes usually go to the Sun, Moon, and Rising sign first – those “Big Three” I mentioned. Just to see what signs they landed in.
Then I kind of let my eyes wander. I remembered reading something about the 5th house in a birth chart. Apparently, it has something to do with intelligence. And also, it can give hints about children. Like, if you see planets such as Jupiter, Venus, or the Moon chilling in the 5th house, it supposedly means you’re more likely to have kids. But if planets like Mars, or the Sun, or these things called Raghu and Kethu are there, maybe less likely. So, I’d take a peek at the 5th house in the chart, just out of curiosity to see what planets, if any, were sitting there. It’s all part of the standard interpretation, from what I gather.
Honestly, trying to make deep sense of it all without a ton of study is a bit much. It’s a whole system. But just going through the motions of finding the data, generating the chart, and identifying a few key components was what I was after. It’s interesting to see how it’s all laid out.
So, yeah, that was my little experiment with looking into Peter Navarro’s birth chart. I didn’t walk away an astrologer, but I definitely got a better sense of the practical steps involved in just getting one generated and what basic things people look for. It was a pretty straightforward practice, really. The main hustle is just getting that accurate birth information to begin with.
