Sky Map · The Living Sky
Your birth date, time, and place — that's all it takes to see your Sun, Moon, and rising sign, and read your whole chart.

No birth time? Tick “I don’t know the birth time” — the Moon and rising sign get less precise, but the match still works.
Compatibility compares where each person’s planets and angles sit on the zodiac — is one person’s Venus close to the other’s Mars, and so on. It doesn’t use the “house cusp” dividing lines that a house system draws, and every house system shares the same planet positions and the same rising sign. So the choice wouldn’t change your result by a single point. House systems only shape a full natal chart (which house each planet lands in) — that’s why the picker lives on the Natal Chart, not here.

Two ways to see the heavens at the moment you were born — the joined zodiac constellations and their brightest stars are named in both. Pinch or scroll to zoom either view, drag the ground view to look around, and slide to watch the hours before your birth, the moment itself, and after.

What each light means — the same seven wanderers people have read for meaning for thousands of years:
A retrograde planet isn't really moving backward — from Earth we briefly overtake it, so it appears to loop back against the stars before moving on. Here's the actual path each of your retrograde planets traced around your birth. The gold dot marks the moment you were born.
