Astrology
The astronomical kind of input: moment and place of birth → time atlas (conversion to UTC with historical shifts accounted for) → ephemeris (positions of the bodies) → the rules of a school. The tropical branch takes the longitudes as they are; the sidereal branch subtracts an ayanamsa.

The natal chart
The familiar natal chart is not a single method but an assembly: planetary positions + houses and cusps + aspects, on top of which configurations — figures of several aspects — are read. Each part is connected with its own verification; once all are ready, the chart assembles as a whole — and the status of every part stays honestly visible.
