Your Birth Chart

Where every planet stood at the moment you were born, worked out from the date, time and place — and read the traditional way, with the classical dignity named so you can check it.

Before you begin

A birth chart is the sky at one moment, seen from one place: which sign each planet was in, how far through it, and — if the time is known — which sign was rising in the east. The positions are calculated, not interpreted, and any ephemeris will give you the same ones.

The readings beside them are the traditional ones. Each names the classical dignity — where a planet is at home, exalted, in detriment or in fall — and says what astrologers have made of that placement. None of it describes you. It describes where a planet was, and what has been written about that.

What this page sends, and what it keeps

This is the one page on the site that sends something you type to a server. The date, time and place go to satincradle.com, which passes them to the service that does the calculation — freeastroapi.com — and returns the planets' positions. Nothing else is sent, and no account is involved.

We do not log or store what you enter, and nothing is saved in your browser: come back tomorrow and you will be asked again. That is deliberate — it is what lets this page say “not kept” without a footnote.

Leave this unticked if you do not know it. The planets are then worked out for midday, and the chart has no rising sign and no houses — those are the parts that need the time.

Place of birth

The nearest town or city. Add the country if the name is shared — “Paris, France”.
