What the chart shows

Your birth chart places each planet at a point in the zodiac — the band of twelve 30° signs along the Sun’s yearly path. This calculator works out those positions astronomically for the moment you give (planets to within a fraction of a degree, which is plenty for sign placement) and then summarises them. The inner ring of the wheel is your birth chart; the outer ring shows where the planets are on the transit date.

Elements and modalities

Astrologers count how many planets fall in each group to describe a chart’s overall emphasis. There is no single standard method; this calculator counts the Sun and Moon twice, the personal and social planets once, and Uranus and Neptune — which stay in a sign for years and are shared by everyone born around the same time — as half.

Sign rulers

In traditional astrology each sign has a planetary ruler, and the sign and condition of that planet is read as colouring the sign. The calculator shows the ruler of your Sun sign and where that planet was at your birth — a starting point for following the chain of rulerships through a chart.

Transits

A transit is an aspect between a planet’s current position and a planet in your birth chart. Slow planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) make transits lasting weeks or months, and astrologers give them the most weight; the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars pass quickly. Orbs — how close an aspect must be to count — vary between astrologers; tight orbs are used here so the list shows only exact-ish contacts.

Worked example

For a birth on 14 March 1992 at noon UTC, the Sun is at about 24° Pisces (a water, mutable sign ruled traditionally by Jupiter) and the Moon late in Cancer — close enough to Leo that the calculator warns the birth time matters. Venus is also in Pisces, Mars and Saturn are in Aquarius, Jupiter is in Virgo, and Uranus and Neptune are both in Capricorn, a combination shared by everyone born in the early 1990s. With the weighting used here, water scores 5 and fire only 1, and cardinal and mutable tie at 4. Jupiter, the traditional ruler of Pisces, sits in Virgo, the opposite sign. Changing the transit date to a birthday shows the Sun returning to its birth position — the “solar return”.

Birth time and time zone

Most planets barely move in a day, so a date alone is usually enough for their signs. The Moon moves about 13° a day and changes sign every two to three days, so the calculator warns you when the Moon changed sign within 12 hours of the time you entered. Enter your birth time in local clock time and the UTC offset in force then — for example −5 for US Eastern Standard Time, −4 for Eastern Daylight Time, +1 for Central European Time or +8 for China Standard Time.

Reading a balance

• A strong element is often described as a natural way of approaching life — fire through action, earth through practical results, air through ideas, water through feelings.
• A missing or weak element is sometimes read as something a person seeks out in others or develops over time.
• Modalities describe pace: cardinal signs start things, fixed signs keep them going, mutable signs adapt and finish.
• Planets in the same element tend to be in trine (120°), a flowing aspect; planets in the same modality but different elements tend to be in square or opposition.

What’s not included

• The rising sign (ascendant) and houses need an exact birth time and birthplace; use a full birth chart calculator for those.
• Pluto, the lunar nodes and asteroids are left out.
• Positions are tropical (the Western zodiac); sidereal (Vedic) positions are about 24° earlier.
• Astrology is a cultural and interpretive practice, not a science; this tool describes positions and traditional meanings, not predictions.

The chart pack

The optional pack includes a blank printable zodiac wheel for drawing charts by hand, an element and modality worksheet, a transit journal, and reference cards for signs, rulers and aspects. The calculator on this page is free.
