What is the difference between a Birth chart & Natal chart? I don't understand.?

I'm trying to educate myself on astrology, sorry for the question, I'm pretty intelligent, but I don't understand. I was examining my Birth chart from a site, it said regarding my birthdate (2-15-56) Sagitarius- 16 degrees"You will be somewhat wealthy, depending on your natal chart." Depending on my natal chart? I thought my Birth chart was my natal chart, & that is why I entered my Birthdate, & place. Sorry for the "dumb question." I don't understand where I should look for a more accurate description of my life. Thank you!!!

    You should look elsewhere for more info on your birth chart, (which, by the way, is the same thing as a natal chart). How can being born on a certain day make you wealthy? Any site that says this sort of thing isn't worth looking at.

    Try alabe free chart, but no computer generated chart will give you a proper description of your "self". The only way really is to try to learn more about astrology but it takes a lot of time; or of course, you could pay a professional who'd need to talk you thru' your chart and how it's relevant to you.

    As you learn more, you find that eg, a house shows many different areas of life but which one is relevant to you as an individual is what really matters. That's just an example but there's so much to learn and so it's best to get a book, which there are plenty, but the one I started with was The Complete Book of Astrology by Caitlin Johnstone and explains things very well.

    Plus of course, you can always ask things on here; never be afraid to ask because most of us here are trying to get to grips with things.

    The word "natal" is an adjective meaning "ones birth". So saying natal *or* birth chart is basically saying the same thing, but using different terms. No difference.

    Birth Chart is a general term. Natal chart is same as birth chart, but there are other charts in astrology.
