Birth date
The calendar date used to calculate the Sun, Moon, planets and lunar nodes for your chart.
What you need
Three birth details determine the calculation.
Your birth date sets the planetary positions. Your birth time and place establish the local horizon, which is needed for the rising sign and houses.
Birth time
The clock time used for the ascendant and house boundaries. Even a modest difference can change time-sensitive placements.
Birth place
The city provides latitude, longitude and local timezone, including historical clock rules where available.
What the chart contains
The main pieces, in language you can follow.
A chart is not one sign. It is a structured relationship between planetary positions, houses and timing systems.
The chart's starting point
Lagna (rising sign or ascendant)
Your emotional reference point
Rashi (Moon sign)
The Moon's finer position
Nakshatra (lunar mansion or birth star)
Areas of life
Bhava (astrological house)
Longer timing
Dasha (planetary timing period)
Birth-time confidence
Exact and unknown times are handled differently.
With an exact birth time, Anantrix can calculate the ascendant and houses with greater confidence. If your time is unknown, say so: Moon-based placements may still be useful, but time-sensitive conclusions are limited instead of being presented as certain. Read the full calculation methodology.
What the free journey shows
You begin with your calculated chart and a guided introduction to its strongest reference points. Deeper interactive readings and longer timelines are clearly separated from the free start, so you can understand the foundation before deciding whether to pay.
