If you have a crush on the cosmos, you'll need a birth chart calculator in your astro toolkit.
Whether you're trying to make the most out of an astrology season or attempting to mitigate the effects of a planet's retrograde, any pro will tell you that an accurate astrological birth chart is of the utmost importance.
"It's kind of like a snapshot of the sky," astrologer Narayana Montúfar previously said of a birth chart. "It imprinted you with energy that you will carry for the rest of your life."
So, if you want to uncover the specifics so you can get in tune with this mystical study, allow us to give you a hand.
What is a birth chart calculator?
An astrological birth chart will give you a look at the solar system at the moment you arrived in the world, which in turn determines personality traits, likes, dislikes, needs and so forth. It determines your placement in signs, planets, asteroids, houses and more. As Montúfar suggests, it's truly like a celestially photograph, keeping this important moment solidified as you age.
A birth chart calculator is a tool you can find online that'll help you determine all of these specifics, should you not be able to get to an in-person reading. A birth chart calculator will require you to plug in the following information to uncover your results:
- Name
- Pronouns/Gender (in some cases)
- Birthday
- Time of birth
- Birth place
Where to find a birth chart calculator
From apps to a simple Google search—or an IRL meeting with an astrologer—there are plenty of ways for you to get access to a birth chart calculator and all of your astrological data. A few free examples are as follows:

The stars say I'm an emotional water sign, a Pisces through and through. Per my findings, these are a few of the characteristics that go along with my zodiac sign. "Brilliance!" "Generosity!" "Determination!" Do go on, Astrology.com, I'm very much in favor of your findings...most of them.
"Your mind, which is oriented in many different directions at the same time, is ruled by your emotions and feelings," the findings add. Well, I cannot say I'm 100% thrilled with this tidbit, but I cannot argue with it.
