Your chart
Your rising sign is at nine o’clock and the zodiac runs counterclockwise. Numbers inside are the houses, and each planet’s degree sits beside its symbol. R means retrograde.
The start of Aries is at nine o’clock and the zodiac runs counterclockwise. Each planet’s degree sits beside its symbol, with ~ for a rough one. R means retrograde.
Solid lines are squares and oppositions. Dashed lines are trines and sextiles. The node drawn on the wheel is the true node.
The link is the only copy, and it holds your birth details, so keep it somewhere safe and share it with care.
Planets
The sign is the part of the sky a planet was in. The degree is its exact spot in that sign, from 0 to 29. The house is the part of life it speaks to. R means retrograde: seen from Earth, the planet looked as if it was moving backwards.
| Planet | Sign | Degree | House | Retrograde |

The North Node isn’t a planet. It’s a point where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s, and it’s linked with where you’re heading. The Mean Node is a smoothed average of it, and the True Node is its exact place at that moment. Astrologers use both, so both are here.
Rising sign and Midheaven
The Ascendant, or rising sign, was coming up over the eastern horizon as you were born. It’s often read as the way you meet the world. The Midheaven, or MC, was the highest point of the zodiac overhead, tied to work and reputation.

Your planets, one by one
A short reading of each planet in its sign. Your whole chart is more than the sum of these, but this is a good place to start. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto move so slowly that everyone born within a few years of you shares them, so those three lines are about your generation.
Aspects
An aspect is an angle between two planets, and it shows how they work together. A conjunction (0°) puts them side by side. A sextile (60°) is an easy opening, a trine (120°) a natural flow. A square (90°) brings friction that gets things done, and an opposition (180°) is a balancing act. The orb is how far an angle is from exact: the smaller it is, the stronger the aspect.
The Moon’s aspects are left out, because they depend on your birth time.
No planets made a close angle in this chart.
| Planet | Aspect | Planet | Orb |

Houses
Each house is one of twelve parts of life, such as home, money or friendship. The cusp is where a house begins.

What is a birth chart?
A birth chart is a map of the sky at the moment you were born, seen from where you were born. It shows the Sun, the Moon and the eight planets, each in a sign of the zodiac, and it divides the sky into twelve houses. Your sun sign is one line of it. The rest is what makes two people born in the same week read so differently.
What you need
Your date, time and place of birth. The date gives the planets. The time and place give your rising sign and houses, which turn all the way around the sky in a day. If you don’t know your time, you’ll still get every planet, and we’ll tell you plainly what’s left out. A birth certificate or a parent’s memory is the usual source.
Sun, Moon and rising sign
These three are the usual place to begin. The Sun is the steady middle of you. The Moon is your inner weather, the way you settle and what you need when you’re tired. Your rising sign is the front door, the first thing people meet.
Which house system should I pick?
If you’re not sure, keep Placidus. It’s what most websites show, so your chart will match the others you’ve seen. Whole Sign is older and simpler, and many people find its houses easier to read. Both are one click apart here, so you can compare them.
How we calculate
Positions are tropical and geocentric, seen from the centre of the Earth. We checked our calculations against NASA’s JPL Horizons for the planets and the Swiss Ephemeris for houses and nodes, on 39 test charts from 1879 to 2026. The largest planet error was under 20 arcseconds, far smaller than one degree. We don’t calculate Chiron or other asteroids, so you won’t find them here.
What happens to your details
They go to our calculator to work out the chart, then they’re gone. We don’t store them, and they’re not in our logs. Your chart stays free, with nothing to unlock. If you’d like to come back to it, save the image or keep the link, because we can’t look it up for you.
