- "A detailed analysis of the way the planetary movements in the coming month will affect you, with reference to your personal chart. I want it ready to hand in next Monday, and no excuses!"
- — Professor Trelawney setting homework[src]
A personal chart was a circular chart, showing the relative positions of the planets at the time of an individual's birth, which was used in astrology.[1] The creation of one was a time-consuming process, involving the consultation of timetables, as well as the calculation of angles.[1] Once completed, it could be combined with data on upcoming planetary movements to create a horoscope, a personal forecast.[1][2]
History[]
On 2 September, 1994, Sybill Trelawney had all of her fourth year Divination students draw up a personal chart in class, then gave them the homework assignment of creating a horoscope with it, which she demanded to be handed in the next Monday, with no excuses.[1]
