How does the Destiny Matrix differ from a natal chart (astrology)?

The Destiny Matrix and the natal chart (astrology) are different systems, even though both are about a 'personality map from birth'. A natal chart is built on the real positions of the planets, signs, and houses at the exact time and place of birth—it is a complex, astronomically tied system where the hour and city matter. The Destiny Matrix is simpler in its input data: it uses only the date of birth and lays it out across the 22 Arcana in an octagram diagram. It does not need the time or place. The language is also different—Tarot Arcana instead of planets. You cannot say one is 'more accurate': both are symbolic systems without scientific status, just different languages of self-knowledge. Some people resonate more with the imagery of the Arcana and the simplicity of the Matrix, others with the detail of astrology. They are often used together. If you want to try the language of the Matrix, build yours using your date of birth.
