What is a birth chart?

A snapshot of the sky at your birth—mapping planets, signs, and houses. It outlines tendencies, strengths, and growth areas.

Do I need an exact birth time?

It helps for rising sign and houses, but you can still learn a lot without it. You can estimate if unknown.

How do I read my chart?

Start with Sun, Moon, and Rising; then look at Venus and Mars for relationships, and key aspects between planets.
