Questions from the bench

What does my birth chart show?

Your birth chart shows the positions of planets in zodiac signs and houses at your moment of birth. It maps the sky from your birth location and time. Your Sun sign describes identity, your Moon sign is associated with emotional habits, and your rising sign represents the eastern horizon at birth. The chart is a symbolic tool for reflection, not a scientific prediction.

Can I calculate a birth chart without a birth time?

Yes. Without a birth time, you can see noon reference positions and the possible range of the Moon's position during your birth date. However, the Ascendant and houses are omitted when birth time is unknown.

Why does my chart differ from another website?

Charts can differ due to several factors: the time zone used, the birth time recorded, whether tropical or sidereal zodiac is used, the house system selected, and rounding or ephemeris conventions.

Is astrology a scientific method?

No. Astrology is a symbolic tradition for reflection and exploration, not an established scientific method for predicting personality or events. The results are not medical, legal, financial or relationship advice.

How are aspects calculated?

Aspects are angular relationships between planets shown as colored lines on the chart. They represent angles at specific degrees. Colors distinguish types but do not indicate good or bad fortune. The orb is the difference from the exact angle.
