Frequently asked questions
What is a birth chart?
A birth chart (also called a natal chart) is a snapshot of where every planet was at the exact moment you were born. It maps your sun sign, moon sign, rising sign, and the houses each planet falls into. It's the blueprint astrologers read for personality, relationships, and timing.
Do I need my exact birth time?
For sun sign and moon sign — no, a date is enough. For your rising sign (ascendant) and houses, yes: rising changes every ~2 hours, so you need at least the hour. If you don't know your time, ask a parent, check your birth certificate, or use 12:00 noon for a 'solar chart.'
Is this birth chart calculator free?
Yes. Soulr's birth chart tool is 100% free, no signup or email. You get your sun, moon archetype, and a clean explanation of what each part means.
What's the difference between a birth chart and a horoscope?
Your birth chart is fixed for life — it's your personal map. A horoscope is a daily/weekly forecast based on where the planets are moving now, compared to your chart.
What does my rising sign mean?
Your rising sign (ascendant) is the zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at your birth time. It's the 'mask' — how strangers first read you, your style, your physical presence. People often relate to their rising more than their sun.
