Birth Charts

Cast a birth chart

Ziwei, Western, and Vedic charts. Calculation is free. Interpretation is 1 credit, first per system free.

Birth data is used in memory only for this calculation. It is not stored, and AI gets only chart positions, never birth data. Ziwei time is corrected by longitude only: 4 minutes per degree from the nearest 15 degree meridian.

How each system uses your inputs (tap for details)
  • Gender: Ziwei only, palace placement depends on it.
  • Birthplace: all three systems. Western and Vedic need it for Rising and houses; Ziwei needs longitude for its correction.
  • Birth time: clock time at the birthplace. No timezone database, no DST, so a time near a boundary may differ by one division. Unknown time is calculated at noon, Rising and houses approximate.
  • Calculation is free and unsaved. Interpretation is separate: 1 credit, first per system free.
Chart language (English is the default)

This changes the chart labels, summary, and detail together. The form stays in English.

The place name is used only for this lookup. Only its coordinates are kept for the calculation, and the place name is never stored and never sent to AI.

Before you calculate, please note: clock time at the birthplace, longitude-only conversion (tap for details)

Birth time is clock time at the birthplace. Conversion is longitude-only, no timezone database, no DST, no equation of time, so a time near a boundary may differ by one division. No timezone lookup is added.
