STEP 5. Enter your birth data & click continue!

*Please do NOT guess or make up your birth time if you do not know because it gives specific added detail. If you do not have a birth time on your birth certificate or a solid birth time from someone present at your birth, then click the drop down menu for “hour” and choose “unknown”. This will not give you a Rising sign or set your birth chart with the planets in the correct houses aka the location of the planets in the sky at the moment of your birth, BUT it will give you lots of information.

STEP 6. Congratulations, you have officially pulled your birth chart!!

Triple check that you have entered the correct birth data as this is super important! This data is at the top left of the page.
