What does NATAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Relating to the time, place, or circumstances of a person's birth.
Natal words point back to someone's birth, whether that means a hospital ward for newborns, a horoscope drawn up for the moment of delivery, or simply the country where a person happened to be born. A natal chart, for example, records the position of the planets at the instant of birth and is central to astrological readings. Doctors likewise talk about natal care and natal health to describe treatment given right around delivery. The word shares its root with native and nativity, all descending from the same Latin word for birth.
