Introduction
A birth chart is a map of the sky from the moment you were born. It shows where the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars were at that time. In astrology, this map is read as a guide to your traits, your moods, and the way you act.
This birth chart calculator makes it easy to find out yours. Just type in your birth date, your birth time, and the city where you were born. The tool runs the calculations and shows your results fast.
You will see your Big Three: your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign. In astrology, the Sun sign shows who you are at your core. The Moon sign shows your feelings. The Rising sign shows how others see you. You will also get a full chart wheel, a table of all your planet spots, and a look at your element and modality balance.
If you do not know your birth time, that is okay. You can still get most of your chart. Just check the box that says you do not know it. Try it now and learn more about yourself.

What Is a Birth Chart?
A birth chart is a map of the sky from the moment you were born. It shows where the Sun, Moon, and planets sat in the zodiac at your exact birth time and place. Many people use it to learn more about themselves in astrology.
Your Big Three
The three most talked-about parts of a chart are your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Rising sign. Here is what each one means:
- Sun sign: Your core self and the way you shine. This is the sign most people already know.
- Moon sign: Your feelings and your inner world. It shows how you deal with emotions.
- Rising sign: Also called the Ascendant. It is the sign that was coming up over the east when you were born. It shows how others first see you.
Why Birth Time Matters
Your Rising sign and house spots change fast through the day. So you need your birth time to find them. If you do not know your time, you can still see your Sun, Moon, and planet signs. But the Rising sign and houses will be left out.
The 12 Zodiac Signs
There are 12 signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign has an element (Fire, Earth, Air, or Water) and a way of acting called a modality (Cardinal, Fixed, or Mutable). Astrologers read the balance of these as a picture of your style.
Planets and Houses
In astrology, each planet rules a part of life. For example, Venus is tied to love and Mars is tied to drive. The houses are 12 slices of the chart that show where these energies play out, like work, home, or friends. Together, the planets, signs, and houses make your full birth chart unique to you.
