Online birth chart calculator: how it works
A birth chart, also called a natal chart, represents the sky at the exact time and place of birth. It goes beyond the Sun sign or rising sign by bringing together the Sun, Moon and planets, the twelve houses, Midheaven and astrological aspects.
Enter your birth date, time and city, then select the location from the suggestion list. DailyZodiac resolves its coordinates and time zone, then generates the complete chart with rising sign, Midheaven, planets in signs and houses, aspects and calculation details.
Exact time
Earth's rotation changes the local horizon quickly, so the time determines the rising sign, Midheaven and houses.
Birth city
It provides the latitude, longitude and time zone needed to convert the local birth time correctly.
What your calculated birth chart includes
The result shows the birth chart graphic, the sign and degree of the rising sign, Midheaven and the twelve Whole Sign houses. The tables list the Sun, Moon, planets and calculated points with longitude, sign, house and retrograde motion, plus element and modality distributions and a matrix of major aspects.
Rising sign, houses and Midheaven: why exact time matters
Planetary positions depend mainly on the date, while the rising sign, Midheaven and houses depend on the local horizon and change with time and place. This is why two people born on the same day can have different birth charts. An accurate time places planets in the correct houses.
