Question 1

What is a birth chart?

Accepted Answer

A birth chart (also called a natal chart) is a map of where the planets were positioned in the sky at the exact moment you were born. It uses your birth date, time, and location to calculate the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets across the 12 zodiac signs and 12 houses.

Question 2

How accurate does my birth time need to be?

Accepted Answer

For basic Sun sign information, birth time is not required. However, for accurate Moon sign, Rising sign (Ascendant), and house placements, your birth time should be within 15 minutes. The Rising sign changes approximately every 2 hours.

Question 3

What does my Sun sign mean in a birth chart?

Accepted Answer

Your Sun sign represents your core identity, ego, and conscious self. It reflects your fundamental character, the qualities you express most naturally, and the way you shine in the world. While it's the most commonly known placement, a full birth chart includes many more positions.

Question 4

What is the difference between Sun, Moon, and Rising sign?

Accepted Answer

Your Sun sign is your core self and conscious identity. Your Moon sign reveals your emotional nature, instincts, and subconscious patterns. Your Rising sign (Ascendant) is how others perceive you and the mask you wear in public — it changes every 2 hours and requires an accurate birth time.

Question 5

How many planets are in a birth chart?

Accepted Answer

A complete birth chart includes 10 celestial bodies: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Each planet governs different areas of life — from communication (Mercury) to love (Venus) and transformation (Pluto).
