What the calculation will show
- The chart wheel — the Ascendant on the left on the horizon line, signs and houses counter-clockwise, aspect lines inside the circle.
- Ascendant and Midheaven — an interpretation by sign and the sign that it isn’t about you.
- Every planet in its sign and house — the essence in one sentence and a “not about you” sign; the full text with a check against your own past is in the guide, via the link.
- Chart ruler — the ruler of the sign on the Ascendant: which sign and house it is in.
- Twelve houses — what each one is responsible for and which planets stand in it.
- Elements and crosses — by the personal points of the chart — without the distant planets, which are the same for people of the same age.
- Aspects — with orb and interpretation: what should be noticeable and when the aspect isn’t about you; generational aspects are marked and not interpreted.
- The Moon’s Nodes — North and South — the axis the tradition reads as the familiar and the unfamiliar.
- Lilith and Chiron — the mean Black Moon and the minor body Chiron — with a general interpretation and a check; they aren’t included in aspects.
Without the time and city there is no Ascendant, Midheaven or houses: the calculation will say so rather than substitute noon. If the time is known roughly, it will show what doesn’t change within that window — sometimes that includes the Ascendant. Which signs were rising during those hours and whether the sign holds with an error of 15–30 minutes — in the Ascendant calculator.
What a natal chart is made of
Planets — what is at work: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The ten planets →
Signs — how: twelve 30° segments along the Sun’s path, each with its element and cross. The twelve signs →
Houses — where: twelve areas of life counted from the horizon of the place of birth, which is why they need the time and city. The twelve houses →
Aspects — connections: the angles between planets. Conjunction, sextile (60°), square (90°), trine (120°) and opposition (180°). The five aspects →
How we calculate
Planetary positions come from the NASA JPL DE440 ephemeris, the model of the Solar System astronomers calculate with; the numbers on screen can be checked against any ephemeris. The zodiac is tropical, counted from the spring equinox point, as in Western astrology. Houses are Placidus; beyond the Arctic Circle, where it can’t be calculated, Porphyry or whole signs, and the screen names the system used. The lunar Node is the true one. The time zone is taken from the time zone history of the city and date of birth, with the daylight saving time of those years.
Why there’s a “not about you” under every interpretation
A description like “it’s important to you to be valued, but sometimes you doubt yourself” fits almost everyone — psychology calls this the Barnum effect. Such phrases feel accurate but say nothing about a specific person. So every position here has an outcome under which it is wrong. If the sign matches, this piece of the chart doesn’t work for you the way the tradition says, and you can set it aside. If it doesn’t match, that’s not proof yet: astrology has no evidence base, and the checks here are a way not to fool yourself, not a way to believe.
