What is a birth chart?
A birth chart, also called a natal chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born, mapping the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets across the zodiac signs and houses. It goes far beyond your Sun sign to describe your whole personality and life path.
What is the difference between a birth chart and a natal chart?
There is no difference — they are two names for the same thing. “Natal” simply means “relating to birth,” so a natal chart and a birth chart are identical.
Do I need my exact birth time for a birth chart?
For the most accurate chart, yes. Your birth time sets your rising sign (Ascendant) and the house positions, which can change with just a few minutes' difference. Without a time you can still see which signs your planets are in, but not your houses or rising sign.
What if I don't know my birth time?
You can still generate a chart using noon as a default. Your planet-in-sign placements will be correct, but your Ascendant, house cusps and Midheaven won't be reliable. Check your birth certificate or hospital records for the exact time when you can.
What are the Big 3 in astrology?
The Big 3 are your Sun sign (core identity), Moon sign (emotions and inner world) and rising sign or Ascendant (how you come across). Together they give a much fuller picture of you than the Sun sign alone.
Is this birth chart calculator free?
Yes. You can calculate your full birth chart — planets, signs, houses and aspects — for free by entering your birth date, time and place.
