Clear questions make the next step easier.
SAME SKY. YOUR STORY.
01 / GETTING STARTED
Getting started with your free birth chart.
Is the experience free?
You can generate a birth chart and explore a first reading for free. Guided reflection is also free to begin. The catalogue shows additional readings and experiences, including planned offers; paid checkout is not connected yet.
Do I need to know astrology already?
No. Begin with your birth date or choose guided reflection. The reading explains placements in everyday language and offers questions you can use without memorising astrological terms.
What is the difference between a birth chart and guided reflection?
A birth chart uses your birth details to calculate planetary placements before interpreting them. Guided reflection starts with a few choices about your focus, intention and pace, and needs no birth information.
How do I choose Western or Vedic?
Choose the system you want to explore in the chart form. Western uses a tropical zodiac; Vedic uses a sidereal zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa. The reference frames differ, so some placements can change. Read the Astrology guide →
What is a birth chart?
A birth chart, or natal chart, is a map of the Sun, Moon and planets for your date, time and place of birth. Read what is a birth chart for an introduction.
What are the Sun, Moon and rising sign?
Often called the big three, they are a popular first layer of a chart. The rising sign needs an accurate birth time. See how to read a birth chart.
02 / BIRTH DETAILS
Small details can help you find the right answer.
Birth details and birth time questions.
No time on your birth certificate? Our guide to birth time rectification explains where to look for a recorded time first.
What information does the birth chart need?
Enter your birth date, time if known, and birthplace. Select the city from the search results so the experience can resolve location and local time. Current location is not necessarily birthplace.
I do not know my birth time. Can I still use it?
Yes. Choose unknown time. You can explore sampled daily ranges without a guessed rising sign or houses being shown as exact. The time explorer compares hypothetical windows; it cannot prove which time is correct.
Can I change my details after calculating?
Yes. Return to the chart form, edit the details and calculate again. An exact birth time can change the rising sign and house placements; an uncertain time should remain clearly marked.
Can I compare my chart with someone else’s?
The synastry experience compares two Western charts. Enter details you have permission to use. It highlights symbolic connections rather than giving a compatibility score or claiming to know another person’s thoughts.
03 / YOUR REPORT & EMAIL
Clear boundaries leave more room for confidence.
Email, sign-in and saving questions.
When do I need to enter my email?
You can start a chart without an account. When you choose a fuller report on romance, work, money habits or wellbeing, email verification opens that part of the journey. Account features also use email verification.
My email code has more than six digits. What should I enter?
Enter the full sign-in code shown in your latest email. Use the newest code, and request another if it has expired. Do not share the code with anyone.
Does signing in automatically save my chart?
Signing in does not automatically save a chart. If a save option is available for your result, it explains what will be kept before you confirm.
Will I receive monthly emails?
Monthly messages are optional and use separate preferences. Where available, you choose whether to receive them and can change that choice. An email code is for sign-in, not a subscription to monthly messages.
04 / READINGS & EXPERIENCES
Readings, AI and keeping your own perspective.
More on what to expect from an astrology reading: interpretation, not prediction.
Are the readings written by AI?
The free first reading uses original interpretive text connected to calculated placements. Automatic AI readings are a separate connection under validation; do not assume every report is generated by AI.
Can astrology tell me what will definitely happen?
No. The experience is designed for reflection and conversation. It cannot guarantee outcomes, diagnose health conditions or make important decisions for you.
How can I buy a premium reading?
Explore Readings & Experiences to see what each offer includes and whether it is available or planned. Stripe checkout will be connected later; there is no active payment route to complete today.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Begin with a little curiosity.
Try a birth chart or a guided reflection. You can explore, pause and come back at your own pace.
Where can I compare the reading formats?
Use the reading and experience directory to compare natal, synastry, timing, learning and planned membership formats. The planned expanded offers are not available to purchase, book, join or enrol in.
For the current journey, read the Western and Vedic framework guides, the unknown-time guide, or the guided-reflection overview.
