What is a Birth Chart?
A birth chart is a diagram that uses one’s birth date to reveal their strengths and weaknesses.
It consists of a structure with nine small squares, each containing a single digit from one’s birth date (calculated based on the Gregorian calendar). The presence or absence of certain numbers in these squares indicates an individual’s strengths and weaknesses.
The birth chart is based on the principles of Pythagorean mathematics, where each unique birth date corresponds to a distinct birth chart.
