Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need my birth location?

The Ascendant is the zodiac degree rising on the eastern horizon — which depends on exactly where on Earth you were standing at birth.

My birth time is approximate. How far off could my result be?

The rising sign shifts roughly every 2 hours. If your time is within ±30 minutes you're probably safe, unless you were born near a sign boundary.

What does my rising sign mean?

It's the "front door" of your personality — the first impression you give, your instinctive social style, and it sets the layout of all 12 houses in your chart.
