Birth details

The rising sign moves about one degree every four minutes, so this matters more than anything else on the form.

Pick the closest town. A few kilometres makes no visible difference to the chart.

What you get

The day named, and where the Moon is: its sign, which everyone shares, and which of your houses it is lighting. Then the aspects the Moon makes to your planets today, and any the Sun, Mercury, Venus or Mars make this day or next, tightest first, each with a short reading. Links to the day before and after, and to the slow transits that frame the whole month.

Questions

How is this different from a Sun-sign horoscope?
A Sun-sign horoscope reads the sky against one point, the Sun's sign, so a twelfth of everyone gets the same text. This one reads today's sky against your whole birth chart: the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars against your ten natal planets, and the Moon's place in your houses. Two people born a day apart get different pages.
What counts as today?
The sky is computed at noon at your birth place, on the date you choose. The Moon moves about thirteen degrees a day, so an aspect within seven degrees of exact at noon is exact at some hour of that day; the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars move about a degree a day, so their aspects within a degree are exact today or tomorrow.
Do I need my birth time?
Not for most of it. Without a time the Moon's house is left out, because houses come from the rising degree and that changes every four minutes; and your natal Moon is placed at noon, so transits to it can be a few degrees out. Everything else is the same.
Is anything saved?
No chart is stored. Your birth data and the date travel in the page address, so the page is rebuilt from it each time and we keep no copy. The result page is not indexed and does not send its address to other sites.
