Enter your birth details

Use the local time written on your birth record. Choose the birthplace or enter its coordinates.

1. Birth date and time

The local calendar date at the birthplace. If no date picker appears, use YYYY-MM-DD.

Enter the local time on the birth record. If no time picker appears, use HH:MM in 24-hour time. Do not convert it to UTC.

2. Birthplace

Choose a country, then search for the birthplace.

How the three signs are calculated

The calculator uses the local birth time and the sky positions at that moment. Astrological meanings are presented separately from the calculation.

01

Your local birth time is resolved precisely

The calculator uses the birthplace timezone. If a clock time happened twice, you choose the correct occurrence; if it never happened because the clocks changed, the tool asks you to correct it instead of silently shifting it.

02

Sun and Moon are placed in the tropical zodiac

Deterministic astronomy locates the Sun and Moon for the resolved instant, then maps each position to one of twelve equal 30° signs. The result comes from the displayed calculation rather than a remote interpretation service.

03

Rising uses the exact time and place

Rising is calculated from the eastern horizon at the birthplace. Because it can change quickly, the tool shows it only when an exact birth time and coordinates are available. At coordinates and times where the Ascendant is not uniquely defined, it remains unavailable.

04

An unknown time still gives a useful result

Without a birth time, the calculator checks the whole local date, lists every possible Sun and Moon sign, and clearly marks Rising unavailable rather than inventing it. A clock-change date may contain more or fewer than 24 hours.

How the calculation works

Sun and Moon use deterministic astronomical software. Rising uses a geometric horizon method that was compared with independent reference cases before it was made available. Reference cases check specific examples; they do not certify equal accuracy for every historical date. The complete software versions, conventions, sources, and limits are documented here: calculation methodology.
