What Is a Birth Chart
A birth chart is a map of the sky at the exact moment and location of your birth. It shows the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets in zodiac signs and houses.
Required Information to Create a Chart
You need your date of birth, exact time of birth, and birthplace. The time is especially important because it determines your rising sign and house placements.
How to Generate Your Chart
Enter your details into a free online birth chart calculator such as Astro.com. The tool will plot planetary positions and draw the chart wheel automatically.
Basic Steps to Read the Chart
Start by identifying your Sun sign, Moon sign, and Ascendant. Then look at which zodiac signs and houses each planet occupies to understand core themes in personality and life patterns.
