Use your own birth data

This step is the engine doing arithmetic. It costs nothing and needs no account.

Born
As shown on the clock at birth — we read it in your birthplace’s timezone"Some time in the afternoon" is enough — the chart only reads the hour to one of twelve two-hour blocks anyway.
Place of birth
Pick a city so we can find its longitude and timezone

Making the chart yours needs an account

Casting itself is the engine doing arithmetic and costs nothing. The account is what keeps the chart — every chapter from here on uses it, on any device. Signing in asks for your birth details once. After that this page is your chart.

That is your chart now

Every chapter from here on uses it instead of the example.
