From someone's natal data, how accurately can you determine personality traits etc?

I'll give mine:
Planet Longitude Declination
Sun 4 CAN 58 23N21
Moon 22 SCO 4 22S22
Mercury 13 GEM 0 19N32
Venus 19 TAU 32 14N47
Mars 2 SAG 36 23S44
Jupiter 27 VIR 49 2N04
Saturn 6 TAU 25 11N27
Uranus 0 LIB 2 0N39
Neptune 26 SCO 22 17S39
Pluto 22 VIR 34 17N07
Node 25 PIS 15 1S53
Ascendent 14 SAG 38 22S33
Midheaven 18 LIB 56 7S25

Following your answers, I'll give a self-critical analysis.

OK, I'm pretty new to this stuff, but it appears that there are some very experienced members here. Obviously not mind-readers though...lol

What I'm asking is this... From a particular person's natal (birth) data, do the descriptions of that person's traits usually match up to what they honestly believe about themselves? What about the opinions of friends/family/spouses/significant others?

To use an example, my above data came from www.astrology3d.com and I can agree with about 40% to 50% of what was described in the report. The rest of it seemed to be contradictory... to me.

To others, who have known me for a looonnnng time, similar percentages rang true but the other parts were way, way off. Contradictory again.

We all know that horoscopes are just generalisations, generated to be applicable to the maximum audience, but how much faith can be accurately placed upon a natal interpretation?

The question was raised to those familiar with regularly doing charts for other people and interpreting what little they know about that person, apart from their data, versus what that person was honestly willing to divulge.

Which begs an answer to the initial question... Generally, how accurate is natal chart data?

Give me a synopsis from the data I have supplied, and I'll give an honest personal interpretation...when I emerge from my shell. 😉

"Generally, how accurate is natal chart data?"

Well, I think it's pretty darn accurate, if you interpret it correctly. Interpreting it all, completely, is difficult. I think that takes years of study.

I don't know what astrology3d.com gives you, but if it's just planets in the signs, that is clearly insufficient. You need the signs on the cusps of the houses, the planets in the houses, and at least the major aspects to give you a reasonable description of your personality.

These (abbreviated) descriptions from cafeastrology.com:

Moon in Scorpio
While others may find security and comfort in material things, Moon in Scorpio people seek out emotional intensity. No matter what, there is something very intense about Lunar Scorpios. They are diggers when it comes to the world of emotion--they can see beyond facades and cut right to the core of a person. This ability to "see" what isn't obvious to the rest of the world can be intimidating to others or wildly attractive, depending on the audience. Extreme possessiveness, jealousy, and an urge to manipulate and control loved ones are feelings Scorpio may contend with.

Mercury in Gemini
Turn to Mercury in Gemini for lots of facts and figures as well as broad knowledge. Their learning is a little superficial?they generally have too many interests to delve too deeply into any one. They get bored easily, but they are fast learners. There is a nervous energy here that is unmistakable.

Venus in Taurus
Venus in Taurus men and women can be possessive in love, and they are threatened by fast-paced, high-energy situations in the context of relationships and love. These are sensual partners who require lots of "hands-on" expressions of love.

What I find more interesting is the love- style s of venus and mars. When I read mine, it was like, yep, dead on.

Venus or Mars in Taurus
The sexual nature involves all of the senses. Touch and smell are supremely important to these lovers. These are the most physical of sexual partners. No frills sex is quite fine, as long as the mood is right and there is plenty of physical contact. These lovers don't have a reputation for spontaneity or variety, but they are good at what they do nonetheless, simply because they are truly right there with you. Abstaining from sex is especially difficult for Taurus, so finding a regular sex partner is particularly important. Their sexual stamina during love-making is long-lasting and steady. Although generally patient, their style is natural and physical, and intellectualizing the sex act would only serve to baffle Taurus.

Venus or Mars in Sagittarius
Sex is treated rather like a sport. These lovers are direct and forthcoming with their desires and needs. They have an almost innocent frankness about them, and they love to have fun in bed. Laughing and roughhousing are huge turn-ons. They are actually a bit selfish in sex, and their need to "get off" will almost always be expressed. Games are acceptable for Sagittarius lovers, just as long as they are not too time-consuming or intricate. They have little patience with people playing hard to get or beating around the bush. The same goes for too much seriousness or romancing. The best way to approach sex with these people is to just do it, and then talk about it after the fact, if need be.

I'd like to point out one thing that you and I have in common. Mars in the twelfth house. You hide (house 12) your anger (mars).

Mars in House 12
It may be difficult for you to show your aggression openly, which is why you suppress your anger until the point where it suddenly explodes. In the intervals between, you feel nervous and are not sure why. It is important for you to learn to deal with aggression constructively and to let other people know immediately if something is bothering you.

Whew, how's that for starters? If you are really int
