One page per feature, so you know what each tool does, how to use it and how to read what it shows you. Start with your chart, then follow the links.
Getting started
Calculating your chart, your birth time, reading the wheel, how accurate it is.
- Calculating your birth chartTo calculate your birth chart, three details are enough: your date, time and place of birth, entered in the birth chart form.
- Your birth timeWith an unknown birth time, your birth chart can still be calculated: the site casts it for noon, and the signs of your planets stay accurate, apart from the Moon on some days.
- Reading the chart wheelA birth chart wheel draws the sky at the moment you were born: the twelve signs around the edge, the twelve numbered houses, your planets at their exact degree and the aspect lines in the middle.
- How accurate the calculation isAn accurate birth chart calculation starts with astronomical ephemeris data, which the site computes itself to about one arc minute.
- All the calculatorsEvery free astrology calculator on the site starts from your birth: the full birth chart, the rising sign, the Moon sign, the North Node, the Chinese zodiac sign, the solar return, your transits and the compatibility of two charts.
Readings and questions
The instant reading, questions to your chart, compatibility, the solar return.
- The instant readingThe express reading is the free birth chart reading My Birth Chart composes for you as soon as your chart is calculated: a portrait in titled parts, written from your exact chart and the site’s texts.
- Asking your chart a questionYou can ask your birth chart a question from any page of the site: tap the chat button, type, and the answer starts from your exact chart, your current transits and the site’s texts, in a few seconds.
- Love compatibilityTo check your love compatibility with a birth chart calculator, enter both births in the compatibility calculator: the site draws your two charts and measures every aspect between your planets.
- The solar returnA solar return chart is the chart cast for the exact moment the Sun comes back to the degree it held at your birth, every year around your birthday.
The sky, day by day
Today’s sky, your transits, the horoscope, the cycles of the Moon and planets.
- Reading today’s skyToday’s sky shows where the planets are right now: their sign and degree, their aspects, the phase of the Moon and which planets are retrograde.
- My transitsTo calculate your personal transits, open My transits: the page lays this week’s sky over your birth chart and shows what it activates for you, houses included.
- The daily horoscopeThe daily horoscope on My Birth Chart is calculated, not made up: for each date, the real positions of the planets are compared with each of the twelve signs, and that configuration gives the climate, the three scores and the advice.
- The horoscope by emailThe daily horoscope by email from My Birth Chart is free and lands every morning: your sign’s horoscope, computed from the real positions of the planets, or all twelve signs at once.
- Moon, retrogrades and eclipsesThe moon phases calendar, retrogrades, eclipses and the big transits are the rhythms of the sky: they come back, can be predicted to the minute, and each one lands in a specific house of your birth chart.
