How to enter your chart A full breakdown of every field
A natal chart is a snapshot of the sky at one place and one moment. The more exact the birth time and place, the sharper the rising sign, houses, and Moon. Open any step below for what to put in and why it matters.
Name
Any label you will recognize later: your name, a nickname, or someone you are reading for. It only titles the chart; it never changes the sky math.
Date of birth
The calendar day you (or they) were born, in the local calendar of the birth place. Use the real civil date, not the hospital discharge date if those differ. On a phone, type the year (or tap a decade), then pick month and day — no endless Safari scrolling.
Time of birth
As exact as you can get it: hospital record, birth certificate, or a family note. Rising sign, houses, and the Moon's degree all move with the minute. No time? Enter 12:00 noon so the rest of the chart still casts, or use Don't know your rising sign? Take the quiz for a working estimate, then refine later with Rectify.
Birth city
Type the city (and country if the name is common), then press Find. Asteria fills latitude, longitude, and usually the timezone. If lookup fails, enter coordinates by hand: latitude positive north, longitude positive east.
Timezone
Must match the clock on the birth record for that place and date, including historical daylight saving. City search usually sets this; double-check if you were born near a DST change or in a region that has since renamed its zone.
House system
Placidus is the modern Western default and what most people expect. Whole Sign is traditional Hellenistic and Vedic. Equal is the simplest quadrant alternative. Koch, Regiomontanus, and Porphyry are other quadrant systems. Switch only if you already know which tradition you read in.
Zodiac
Tropical is Western astrology, locked to the equinoxes and seasons. Sidereal (Lahiri) is Vedic, locked to the fixed stars. Pick the system your reader or tradition uses; the planets change signs between the two.
Asteroids
Optional. Adds Ceres, Pallas, Juno, and Vesta for nurture, strategy, partnership, and devotion. Leave off for a cleaner first read; turn on when you want the fuller map.
Still unsure of the minute? Cast with noon or a quiz estimate, save the chart, then use Rectify from the chart menu once you have life events to pin the time.
