Your Compass Through the Zodiac

A chart is a map, not a fortune. Work out where your planets actually stood, see how any two signs really get along, and read the twelve signs described the way people recognise themselves. Start with yours.

Work Out Your Chart

Eleven calculators, every one of them running on your own device. Nothing you type is sent anywhere, and each result shows the method it came from.

All calculators
Your Full Natal Chart Every planet, your rising sign, your midheaven and all twelve houses β€” worked out from the exact moment and place you were born, and drawn as a real chart wheel. Calculate my chart
Sun Sign Calculator Your sun sign, worked out from where the Sun actually stood on your birthday rather than from a fixed date table. Moon Sign Calculator The sign your Moon was in - the part of a chart that describes what you need rather than what you show. Rising Sign Calculator Your ascendant: the sign climbing the eastern horizon at the moment you were born, and the first thing anyone meets. Element Balance How much fire, earth, air and water your chart actually carries - and what a missing element tends to feel like. Life Path Number The core number of numerology, reduced from your birth date with the master numbers left intact. Chinese Zodiac Calculator Your animal, element and polarity, counted from the real Chinese New Year rather than from January 1.

How Two Signs Actually Get Along

Scored from the angle between the two signs and their ruling planets, not from a lookup table β€” so the number and the explanation beside it always agree. Every pairing shows its reasoning.

Readings for Today

The lighter side of the site, and labelled as such. These are prompts to think with rather than forecasts β€” each one says plainly what it does and does not claim to know.

Daily Compass Reading A direction to lean, something to watch for, and a question worth sitting with. Moon Phases Tonight's phase, calculated properly, and the eight phases explained. Tarot A card for the day, or a three-card spread when a question needs shape. Dream Meanings What recurring symbols have traditionally been taken to mean. Zodiac Quizzes Which element, which sign, which trait you lead with. Retrogrades & Events What is genuinely happening in the sky, and what it does not cause.

Learn How It Works

The four layers of a chart, in the order that makes them make sense. Read them through and the entries in a chart reading stop looking like trivia and start fitting together.

Astrology guide
The Four Elements Fire, earth, air and water β€” the fastest way to read any sign. The Three Modalities Who starts things, who sustains them, and who adapts. The Planets If signs describe style, planets describe function. The Twelve Houses The areas of life where all of it actually plays out.

In Depth

Longer pieces on the questions that a one-line horoscope has no room for β€” what a rising sign is, why a birth time matters, and what a retrograde does and does not do.

The Twelve Signs

Temperament, strengths, blind spots, and how each sign handles love, work and money β€” including how it behaves under pressure rather than only at its best.
