A natal chart (also known as a birth chart) is an astronomical image of the stars based on the precise date, time, and location of your birth. We compute the location of each planet, as well as the sign of the zodiac and house it was in at the time of your birth, using NASA data.

How can I figure out what my sun and moon signs are?
Your Moon Sign is a reflection of your innermost feelings and ideas. It’s as if you have an internal monologue that expresses all of your emotional demands and sentiments. Check your Moon Sign horoscope every day to observe how it impacts your emotions.
How can I locate my birth chart in the absence of time?
Because of the Earth’s daily rotation, the planets and the sky are always in motion. A freeze-frame is provided by your birth chart. It’s a photograph of the sky taken at the time and place when you first entered the world. For an accurate chart reading, you must know your exact birth time, date, and location.
The Moon, for example, changes signs every 2-3 days. Only your birth time can tell you what sign the Moon was in when you were born if you were born on a day when it moved from one sign to another.
Rising indicators change even more quickly. The ascendant (also known as the rising sign) is the sign that is currently climbing over the Eastern horizon. This is the point in your birth chart that most closely symbolizes you: your body, your vitality, and your sense of self. This sign forms your 1st House of self and identity because it is so unique to you. The sign after that becomes your 2nd House of assets, resources, and livelihood, and the sign after that forms your 3rd House of communication, everyday life, siblings, and extended family, among other things. You won’t know which signs match to which residences unless you know your rising sign.
Every 1-2 hours, rising signs move, with the entire zodiac rolodexing over the horizon in a 24-hour period. Furthermore, every couple of minutes, the exact degree ascending (that is, the degree of your ascendant) advances. That’s why, in astrology, your rising sign is so essential, and why we put so much emphasis on it in the CHANI app. It is one-of-a-kind to you.
The same can be stated for your birth chart’s other anchors. The exact time, day, and location of your birth establish the points of your MC (which represents your career and public duties), IC (home, family, and roots), and DC (close relationships).
If you don’t know your birth time, there are a variety of ways to work with your chart, but we wanted to provide you some ideas on how to find the most accurate astrological analysis possible. It helps if you know and interact with your parents and caregivers because different hospitals, states, and nations have varied protocols when it comes to documenting births. That is not an option for many persons who have been adopted or whose parents are deceased or have lost contact.
Age can also be a factor. It may be more difficult to locate earlier data, while this is not always the case, and/or some hospitals only began recording birth times after a certain date.
Leave no stone unturned
If there is research to be done, go ahead and do it. It doesn’t mean your birth time wasn’t recorded just because you don’t see it on your birth certificate at home. Many people have only their short-form birth certificate, which is effectively a certified statement that the long-form certificate exists. It usually provides the most important information, such as your birthdate, but not the time. The document recorded in the hospital is the long-form birth certificate. It frequently includes other information, such as the names of the parents, their dates of birth, the name of the hospital, and, yes, the time of birth.
Call the local government office in charge of birth records to obtain a long-form certificate. In your area, this can be referred to as the “vital statistics ministry,” “department,” or “office,” or something different entirely. Depending on where and when you were born, it could be state-wide, provincial-wide, county-wide, or parish-wide.
Before you order the certificate, make sure the birth time is correct on the record. With astrology’s current popularity, even normalization, you won’t be the only one who makes this request.
Alternatively, you might contact the hospital where you were born. They might be able to inform you who keeps those documents if they don’t keep them themselves.
Finding your long-form birth certificate is always the best option, even if your caregivers or parents believe they know when you were born. The majority of those there at your birth were preoccupied with other things, and their memories are less reliable than you may think. Remember that your rising sign might alter in a matter of minutes, so if feasible, get a precise time rather than one rounded to the hour.
Go digging
Examine ancient baby books, photo albums, attic boxes, scrapbooks, family bibles, and other items. It’s possible that your long-form certificate was misplaced, or that a meticulous caregiver, parent, or grandparent meticulously recorded the hour of your birth in their notebook.
Ask around
Inquire of your parents, caretakers, or anyone who may have witnessed your birth, such as a relative or family friend. As noted, finding a document with your precise birth time is ideal, but if you can narrow down your options for your rising sign by the hour or approximate time of day, that can help you identify your Moon and narrow down your chances for your rising sign.
Rectify your chart
You can try to have your chart corrected by an astrologer who specializes in this technique as a final option. There will always be some learning through trial and error. Although chart correction is not an exact science, it does work successfully for certain people. While we don’t provide recommendations for astrologers who undertake this work, we recommend reaching out to your networks (or inquiring on Twitter?) to see if anyone you know works with a reputable astrologer.
What is your ascension?
The majority of us are aware of our own and our friends’ star signs, also known as sun signs. Isn’t it how we all make passive aggressive judgments while bigging ourselves up on Instagram with zodiac memes? Our moon signs are also known to us. But did you know you have a RISING SIGN that’s just as important?
The planetary influence that was rising, i.e. on the Eastern horizon, when you were born is your rising sign. It usually reflects how others perceive you in real life and can predict your gut reactions to situations. It is, however, yet another potential personality flaw to consider.
Because of its connection to the rising sun, your rising sign is also known as your ascendant, and many people associate it with your social nature, it’s possible that if someone is guessing your sign, they will get your rising sign before your sun sign! It’s how other people perceive you, which is something you’ll never have. This makes it a fascinating aspect of your birth chart to investigate: discovering who you are in the eyes of others.
What is the sign of the moon for you?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
What is your horoscope horoscope horoscope
Every zodiac sign is an essential and strong piece of the puzzle that is the zodiac. The four elements (air, fire, water, and earth) work together to form a comprehensive whole that manifests itself in your life as your distinct personality qualities. Although astrology is a very complex subject, its most basic idea revolves around the 12 zodiac signs. Each sign has gained its own connections, including mythology, animals, and colors, as well as its own features, over the years. Every sign has its own point of view, with its own set of powerful strengths and exhausting flaws.
We know the Sun doesn’t move from an astronomical standpoint since its stability anchors the entire solar system. The Sun, on the other hand, is always moving from our vantage point on planet Earth. Its daily performance (including inspirational sunrises and dramatic sunsets) as well as its position in the sky can be relied upon. Your “sun sign” (also known as “star sign” or “birth sign”) is the cosmic launching pad for both novices and experienced astrologers. It is the position of the Sun at the exact moment of your birth. (Another crucial placement is your Rising Sign, which you can learn more about here.) Your sun sign is defined by your birthday and defines your fundamental personality, sense of self, basic preferences, love compatibility, and ways of life. This astrological alignment illuminates both your natural talents and your hidden flaws. Your joys, wishes, flaws, and fears distinguish you, and your sun sign, when joined with the other planets and placements in your birth chart, provides a unique celestial profile that serves as your cosmic fingerprint.
Do you have all of the signs in your horoscope?
So, you’re undoubtedly aware of your Sun sign, as well as your Moon and Rising signs. Even if you don’t have any planets in your birth chart, you have every single zodiac sign.
Please bear with me: Your birth chart, which includes all 12 zodiac signs, is essentially a picture of the universe at the time you were born. Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign in which the Sun was when you were born. Every other planet, from Mercury to Pluto, is the same. Look at the sign each planet is in when reading your birth chart to learn more about the area of your life that planet governs. If your Mercury sign, which regulates communication, is in freewheeling Sagittarius, you may still have a tendency to tell it like it is or even put your foot in your mouth, even if you have a cautious Scorpio Sun.
Aries
Aries is born with the ability to lead. After all, it is the zodiac’s first sign. This sign is noted for being brave, forthright, and competitive to an unhealthy degree. Aries, on the other hand, is a warm, caring, and trusting sign. Aries has a short fuse but never holds grudges.
Taurus
Taurus is a functional and affluent sign. This earth sign is intelligent and practical, but also enjoys the finer things in life. Taurus places a high importance on safety and security and is not hesitant to put in long hours. Another thing about Taurus is that it is a very obstinate zodiac sign.
Gemini
Gemini receives a lot of criticism, although it’s generally unjustified. This air sign is humorous, outgoing, fun, and adaptable, earning it the nickname “two-faced” (in reality, they’re just social butterflies who can match the enthusiasm of the group they’re in!). Communication is a strong suit for Gemini.
Cancer
Cancer is the zodiac’s first water sign, and it is empathetic, loving, and compassionate. This placement brings emotional intelligence and intuition. Cancer is a natural homebody, as symbolized by the crab, which carries its residence on its back.
Leo
Leo thrives in the limelight! Outgoing, playful, warm, and loyal, the fire sign is a good match for you. This zodiac sign is born to be a protector and leader. Although Leo has a bit of an ego, everyone loves this type of enthusiasm, therefore it’s well-deserved!
Virgo
Virgo energy is organized, practical, diligent, and analytical…but not dull! This earth sign is reserved at times, yet it is also faithful, honest, dedicated, supportive, and kind. As an earth sign, Virgo is also sensual, or sensual in the sense of being in touch with one’s senses.
Libra
Libra is all about balance, as represented by the scales. With a love for justice and fairness, this placement is diplomatic, peaceful, and adaptive. Libra is ruled by Venus and is associated with beauty and love.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a fiery sign associated with sex, death, and the occult. This is a strong, resilient, and restrained energy. Scorpio is an insightful and emotional water sign. Those feelings are sometimes veiled under a more guarded, threatening faade.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign of travel and philosophy, thus whomever has planets in this sign will have a lot of pleasure. This type of energy is also known for being direct, daring, spontaneous, and even a little flaky.
Capricorn
Capricorn is the zodiac’s chief executive officer. This zodiac sign is regarded for being powerful, hardworking, practical, and ambitious. It is concerned with respect, status, and safety. Cap, like fellow earth sign Virgo, is an earth sign with a sensuous component to it.
Aquarius
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign, and as such, it is cerebral, lively, and intelligent. This energy is bold, open-minded, charitable, and a little strange (or a lot eccentric). This symbol is frequently associated with science, technology, and humanitarianism.
Pisces
Pisces, the zodiac’s final sign, is a wise old soul. This water sign is recognized for its intuition, emotion, creativity, and dreamy outlook. Pisces is frequently associated with spirituality and compassion for others.
