How To Calculate Astrology Birth Chart

Enter ONLY your birth city in the birthplace location area for optimum results. Locations with that city name may automatically drop down depending on the device you’re using, or you may need to click the arrow at the end of a selection to see the whole list. Choose your precise birthplace from the list. If Dallas, Texas is where you were born, for instance, try entering “Dallas” alone. You can then choose the appropriate Dallas location from a list that will show. When you’re satisfied with your choice, press the Submit button.

“Time Zone Not Sure” field

Sometimes a field labeled “Time Zone Not Sure” will show up. Some time zones in the database are either unknowable or are exempt from certain rules or conditions that are described in this article on historical time zone difficulties. If the software refreshes the same screen after you choose your location and click Submit, you will notice a new field labeled “Time Zone Not Sure” underneath the time field. You might need to change the numerical value in the field in this situation. To see your report if the value is accurate, please click Submit once more.

Birth times that are unknown: Selecting “Time Unknown” instructs the program to omit the Ascendant and house positions from the report because these cannot be accurately estimated without a birth time. The report is generated without the time-sensitive data for the majority of users, therefore nothing additional needs to be done.

Continue reading if you’re curious about the range of signs and degrees that could exist on a given day. The positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets are determined using the time entered in the birth time field. You can enter 12:00 if you want to use the best average for the day. Taking note of the planets’ positions at 00:01 and 23:59 will give you this range if you are curious about the potential range. The Moon can be in either of two signs on many days since it switches signs about every 2-1/2 days. Changes in signs with the Sun and other planets are less probable but are still possible (they may be on a cusp). Once more, you can look at the spectrum of potential locations. You cannot, however, know the specific placements with any degree of precision without knowing your birth time.

How does your birth chart look?

A natal chart, also known as a birth chart, is an astronomical image of the stars taken on the precise day, hour, and location of your birth. We determine each planet’s position, the zodiac sign and house it was in at the time of your birth using information from NASA.

How are the houses determined for a birth chart?

The ruling planet of the chart can also be found in the Ascendant. A person with a Sagittarius Ascendant, for example, lives in a world that is dominated by the bountiful Jupiter, whereas a person with a Pisces Ascendant is ruled by the compassionate Neptune.

The Ascendant is used not only to determine our unique terrain but also to design the unique structure of the chart. Birth charts are read counterclockwise, with the First House being defined by the horizontal line of the Ascendant. As we move up the chart’s sections, or Houses, we begin at the Descendent on the right side of the horizon and work our way up. The Twelfth House, which borders the Ascendant to the north, is where the cycle comes to a conclusion.

How can I discover all of my signs?

Your Sun sign is typically what is meant when someone inquires about your zodiac sign. Also, everyone is aware of their sun sign. Everyone has at least been a little intrigued about what the stars could say about them in the age of the Internet, where it’s simple to look it up. Others may look at their Sun sign and feel it makes absolutely no sense, while some people completely identify with it.

There are several explanations for that, including your Ascendant and Moon sign, which I’ll discuss later. Even if you don’t completely identify with the characteristics of that zodiac sign, from the perspective of the sky, you will see patterns that correlate due to planetary movements at any given time. This is why I always advise people to read for the Sun sign in daily, monthly, and yearly horoscopes.

Your date of birth is used to determine your Sun sign. You may need to consult your own natal chart if you were born on a day when the Sun changed signs because you might actually be in one sign rather than the other. Because you cannot have two Sun signs, cusps do not exist (despite attempts by pop culture publications to do so; stop making these efforts, Karen!).

What is the rise in you?

Your rising or ascendant is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon when you were born. It offers insight into your abilities, capabilities, and potential coping mechanisms for navigating life. It speaks to the image you present to the worldsome could even call the mask you wear. If you’ve ever thought that people don’t immediately see you as your sun sign, that’s probably because they’re noticing your rising.

How can I quickly locate my birth chart?

Thanks to the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are both constantly in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It is an image of the sky as it appeared when and when you first entered the earth. For a precise chart reading, you must be aware of the precise time, date, and location of your birth.

For instance, the Moon switches signs every two to three days. Only your birth time would be able to determine what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it changed signs.

Rising indicators change even more quickly. The sign that is currently ascending over the Eastern horizon is known as the rising sign (also known as the ascendant). This is the place in your birth chart where your body, vitality, and sense of self are most closely represented. This sign forms your first House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that makes your 3rd House of communication, daily life, siblings and extended family, etc., and the sign after that becomes your 2nd House of possessions, resources, and livelihood. You won’t understand which signs belong to certain residences if you don’t know your rising sign.

Every 1-2 hours, rising signs change, and within a 24-hour period, the complete zodiac rolodex crosses the horizon. The precise degree ascending, or the degree of your ascendant, also advances every few minutes. Your rising sign is significant in astrology for this reason, which is also why the CHANI app places a lot of emphasis on it. It is wholly specific to you.

The other birth chart anchors are comparable in this regard. The precise time, day, and location of your birth determines the points of your MC (which represents your profession and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).

If you don’t know your birth time, there are other methods to use your chart, but we wanted to provide you some suggestions on how you may look for the most accurate astrological interpretation possible. It is beneficial to know and speak with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied methods for recording births. That’s not an option for many people whose parents were adopted, passed away, or lost contact.

Age also has an impact. Older records may be more difficult to locate, though this isn’t always the case, and/or certain hospitals may have only begun keeping track of birth timings after a certain date.

Leave no stone unturned

Do your research if it needs to be done. Your birth time may have been recorded even if you cannot see it on your birth certificate at home. The short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a signed statement that the long-form certificate exists, is all that many people have. The most important details, such your birthdate, are included, although the time is infrequently mentioned. The documentation kept at the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. More information is frequently included, such as the parents’ names, birth dates, hospitals, and yes, the time of birth.

Call the birth records management division of your local government to obtain the long-form certificate. Depending on where you live, this may be referred to as the vital statistics ministry, department, or office. Depending on where and when you were born, it can be a state-wide, provincial, county, or parish-wide issue.

Ask someone to check the record to make sure the birth time is accurate before ordering the certificate. You won’t be the only one making this request because astrology is currently so well-liked, even considered normal.

You might also try contacting the birthplace hospital. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t.

Finding your long-form birth certificate is usually the wisest course of action, regardless of whether your parents or caretakers believe they know when you were born. Most individuals who were present when you were born were preoccupied with other activities at the time, so it’s more likely than not that their memories are inaccurate. Keep in mind that your rising sign can alter within a few minutes, so if at all feasible, choose an exact time rather than one that is rounded to the nearest hour.

Go digging

Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, etc. There’s a potential that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous parent, grandmother, or caregiver recorded the hour of your birth in their diary.

Ask around

Inquire with your parents, carers, or anybody who may have been there when you were born, such as a relative or close friend. As previously noted, finding a record with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can zero in on the hour or general time of day, it can help you identify your Moon and limit the possibilities for your rising sign.

Rectify your chart

As a final resort, you can attempt to have an astrologer who specializes in this method correct your chart. Trial and error will always be a part of life. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work quite well for some people. While we do not provide recommendations for astrologers that perform this type of work, we do advise asking about in your networks (or even on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know has a relationship with a reputable astrologer.

How can I locate the astrological first house?

Okay. Houses. Have you ever heard the phrase “Mars is in your third house”? They’re talking about what area of the sky Mars was in when you were born. The house system splits the sky into 12 sectors, and based on the planets and constellations that were in each section at the time of your birth, it can shed light on particular aspects of your life. The time and place of your birth are required to identify your first house, which is defined by the zodiac constellation that was rising on the eastern horizon at the precise moment that you were born. From there, the remainder of your houses start counting up. These visuals for your chart can be found on websites similar to this one!

Here is what each of the houses may reveal about your character and way of life:

The First House is a symbol of identity.

2. The Second House is a symbol for money and business.

3. Our near environs and close platonic interactions are represented by the third house.

The Fourth House is associated with children and family.

The Fifth House is a symbol of creativity, self-expression, and entertainment.

The Sixth House stands for occupation and wellbeing.

7. The Seventh House is a symbol of marriage and committed relationships.

8. The Eighth House is a symbol of both change and sexuality.

9. Beliefs and faith are represented by the Ninth House.

10. Careers and responsibility are represented by the Tenth House.

The Eleventh House is symbolic of aspirations and individual objectives.

12. The Twelfth House is a symbol for karma, secrecy, and personal space.

Simply pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh, and tenth houses if your head is now spinning. Usually, they are given higher importance.

Houses are interesting since they can either show or confirm your strengths and faults. For instance, I wasn’t shocked to hear that Aries was in my second house. Aries is an impulsive, passionate, and ambitious sign, so it makes sense that I’m very career-focused and believe that all of my money must be earned since it’s in my second house, which rules money and finances. It also makes sense that I am prone to spending money carelessly (shout-out to my unnecessarybut also necessaryshoe purchase a week ago). Oops.

A brief comment regarding your rising sign Your rising sign, also referred to as “the ascendant,” is the zodiac constellation that occupies your first house. It is the most erratic and challenging to control. If you change your birth time even a few minutes, you can obtain different results. After your sun and moon signs, many astrologers claim that this placement is the third most significant one for you. Your ascendant, as previously mentioned, symbolizes your public persona. It frequently shows up in your appearance or really any choices you make that affect your public persona (such as hair color, piercings or overall style). It might also represent how you react to the world around you and how you view daily life.

Knowing my rising sign gave me the confidence to have a septum piercing, despite the opinions of my friends, because my Aquarius ascendant is characterized by uniqueness and frequently rebellious fashion choices.

How can I predict my future using my birth date?

Date of birth Numerous aspects are taken into account when making astrology forecasts. Here are some forecasts that provide a comprehensive view of a person’s life:

Dasha Prediction: Time-duration, or “Dasha periods,” as the celestial bodies express them; how they affect you due to their locations and their time periods; the impact they have on your life; and the route they are destined to take you. Birth date astrology is used to base dasha predictions.

The sade sati of Shani (Saturn Planet), also known as the “seven and a half year” period, which comes three times in a person’s lifetime, is thought to be the most significant. In certain ways, birthday astrology includes the enumerative examination of the results of this “sade sati,” its neutral and perpetual phases, as well as age-old treatments from the Vedas to remove the harmful effects of this.

Nakshatra Phal: This report acknowledges fascinating details about you, including your nature, behavior, characteristics, and personality, as well as the positive and negative aspects of your personality, your strengths and weaknesses, and a ton of other interesting facts about yourself that can help you make the best decisions and lead a more successful life.

Planetary Influence: Perceptions of the planets’ inclinations in your horoscope, their positions and influences, and their favorable and unfavorable, good and terrible, favorable and unfavorable impacts on numerous aspects of your life. This section of birth date astrology includes future forecasts and goes into great detail about how the stars will influence you. How they will influence and effect you and the decisions you make in life.

Varshphal: The varshphal, also known as the vedic yearly astrology or the annual horoscope, is one of the various applications of vedic astrology based on birthdates used to predict future occurrences. Although it is practiced throughout, northern India is where it is more common. The structure is designed to be in place for a year when the sun returns to the same sign and degree as its natural location. The cast for the individual’s period of birth is the birth horoscope, or Kundli as we refer to it. However, the varshphal is solar-based, meaning that the location of the sun is what matters most.

Not just Vedic Astrology, but also Western Astrology, which is based on birth date astrology, is incredibly popular nowadays. The foundation of this branch is a person’s Sun Sign.

Western astrology categorizes the zodiac into 12 classes based on birthdate, with each class denoting a specific time period in the annual calendar.

  • If you were born between March 21 and April 20th, then you were born under the sign of Aries.
  • If your birthday comes between April 21 and May 21, you are a Taurus, according to the zodiac.
  • Gemini Zodiac Sign: Gemini is the zodiac sign for people whose birth dates fall between May 22 and June 21.
  • People who were born between June 22 and July 22 fall under the sign of Cancer.
  • If your birthday falls on any day between July 23 and August 21, you are a Leo.
  • If your birthday fell between August 22 and September 23, you were born under the Virgo zodiac sign.
  • If your date of birth falls between September 24 and October 23, you are a Libra.
  • If you were born between October 24 and November 22 of any given year, you are a Scorpio.
  • If you were born between the dates of November 23 and December 22, you have the Sagittarius zodiac sign.
  • If you were born between December 23 and January 20, you have the capricorn zodiac sign.
  • If you were born between January 21 and February 19, you have the horoscope sign of the Aquarius.
  • If you were born between the dates of February 20 and March 20, you have the Pisces zodiac sign.

Which astrological method is most reliable?

Although the houses are measured out in 30 degree increments beginning from the degree of the ascendant, the equal house method divides the ecliptic into twelve divisions of 30 degrees. The first house starts with the ascendant, which serves as the first house’s “cusp,” or starting point. The second house then starts exactly 30 degrees later in the zodiacal sequence from the second house, and so on. In comparison to the Placidean and other quadrant house systems, supporters of the equal house system assert that it is more precise and less distorted at higher latitudes (particularly above 60 degrees).
