What is a birth chart?

A birth chart (natal chart) maps the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets at your exact moment of birth. Sun sign = your core identity (determined by birth month). Moon sign = emotions and instincts (changes sign every 2.5 days). Rising/Ascendant = how others perceive you (changes every ~2 hours). Requires birth time.

Why does birth time matter?

The Ascendant (Rising sign) changes approximately every 2 hours, so even a 10-minute difference can change your rising sign. The Moon also changes sign every 2.5 days. For an accurate reading, birth time to within 15 minutes is ideal. Birth certificates usually have recorded time.
