To create your birth chart on Aurathea:

1. Go to the homepage and click "Free Chart" in the navigation menu
2. Enter your birth details:

• Your birth date (day, month, year)
• Your exact birth time (check your birth certificate for accuracy)
• Your birth location (city, country)

1. Select your preferred interpretation tone
2. Click "Generate Chart"

Your natal chart will be calculated using the Swiss Ephemeris for astronomical accuracy, and you'll receive personalized interpretations for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign.

What free users see: Your free chart includes full interpretations for your Sun, Moon, and Rising sign. Other planetary placements show a preview — a Natal Study on that chart, or a Studio or Practitioner subscription, unlocks the complete picture.

Note: Free charts are generated per session and are not saved to an account. To save charts for future reference, create an account — the Store shows how many charts each plan keeps.

Tip: For the most accurate chart, use your exact birth time from your birth certificate. If you don't know your birth time, tick the unknown-birth-time box and we'll cast your chart for sunrise at your birthplace. Your Rising sign, Midheaven and house placements will then be estimates.

You can change the display language at any time:

1. Look for the language selector in the navigation bar (top of the page)
2. Click on the current language flag or abbreviation
3. Select your preferred language from the dropdown menu
4. The page will automatically update to display content in your chosen language

Aurathea supports 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German, and French.

Note: If you have a chart displayed, it will automatically refresh to show interpretations in your new language.

A natal chart (also called a birth chart) is a map of where all the planets were positioned at the exact moment of your birth. It's like a cosmic snapshot of the sky, calculated from your birth location.

Your natal chart includes:

• Sun sign: Your core identity and ego
• Moon sign: Your emotional nature and inner world
• Rising sign (Ascendant): How others perceive you
• Planetary positions: Where each planet was located in the zodiac
• House placements: Which life areas each planet influences
• Aspects: Angular relationships between planets

The natal chart is considered a blueprint of your personality, strengths, challenges, and life path in astrology.

A transit refers to the current position of a planet as it moves through the zodiac and forms aspects (angular relationships) to the planets in your natal chart.

Transits are used to understand:

• Current planetary influences on your life
• Timing for important decisions or events
• Personal growth cycles and opportunities
• Challenges and lessons you may encounter

For example, when Jupiter transits your Sun, it often brings opportunities for growth and expansion in areas related to your core identity.

Aurathea's transit analysis feature (available with a Studio or Practitioner subscription) tracks these planetary movements and provides personalized insights based on your natal chart.

An aspect is a specific angular relationship between two planets, measured in degrees along the zodiac circle. Different angles create different types of energy and influence.

Major aspects include:

• Conjunction (0 degrees): Planets unite their energies, intensifying their combined effect
• Opposition (180 degrees): Planets face each other, creating tension that seeks balance
• Trine (120 degrees): Harmonious flow of energy between planets
• Square (90 degrees): Dynamic tension that motivates action and growth
• Sextile (60 degrees): Opportunities and supportive connections

Aspects in your natal chart reveal how different parts of your personality interact. Transit aspects show how current planetary energies are affecting you.

Aurathea offers subscription tiers that unlock deeper interpretations, additional tones, and more features:

1. Generate your free birth chart
2. Visit the Store page to explore subscription options
3. Choose a tier that fits your needs — you can upgrade or change at any time

Subscription tiers:

• Free ($0): 2 saved charts, full Sun/Moon/Rising interpretations, 2 tones (Modern, Practical), 2 house systems (Placidus, Whole Sign), daily horoscope, Learn Hub
• Studio ($14.99/month or $149.90/year): 5 saved charts, advanced report features (decan detail, rare configurations), 6 tones, 6 house systems, composites, PDF export
• Practitioner ($29.99/month or $299.90/year): unlimited saved charts, all 9 tones, all 15 house systems, Hellenistic timing tools, asteroids, ephemeris tools, returns

Studies (one-time purchases): a Study covers one subject — a chart, a pair of charts, or a name and birth date — and stays available for as long as your account is open and Aurathea operates the service. No auto-renewal. The Store shows the Studies on sale and their prices, which are lower in many countries through our purchasing-power adjustment.

All paid tiers include full planetary interpretations, saved chart history, and the Famous Charts Library. Annual subscriptions save approximately 17% versus monthly.

You can cancel anytime from your account settings:

1. Log in to your account
2. Go to Settings
3. In the Subscription & Billing section, click Manage Subscription
4. Stripe's billing portal opens in a new tab — cancel there

When you cancel:

• You keep full access to your current tier through the end of the period you've already paid for. No early cutoff and no cancellation fee.
• After that, your account stays. Your charts and saved interpretations don't disappear — you simply return to the free tier.
• If your circumstances change, you can resubscribe any time and pick up where you left off.

Canceling is not the same as a refund. Cancellation stops future charges; it doesn't refund money you've already paid. If you'd also like a refund of your most recent payment, see "How do I get a refund?" below.

If you'd rather pause your subscription or downgrade to a smaller tier instead of canceling, write to support@aurathea.com — we'll handle it for you.

First 7 days from the date of any payment, no questions asked. Email us at support@aurathea.com from the email address on your account, tell us you'd like a refund, and we'll process it. This applies to every payment, including a subscription renewal.

After 7 days, refunds are handled case-by-case in good faith. Tell us what happened. For subscription cancellations specifically: after the 7-day window you typically keep access through the end of the period you've paid for, but a pro-rata refund of unused time isn't standard. If circumstances are unusual, write to us — we'll find something fair.

Processing time: we aim to respond to refund requests within 2 business days. Once we issue a refund, your bank takes another 5–10 business days to land it on your card. We don't control that part.

EU and UK customers: you have statutory cooling-off rights on digital purchases — typically 14 days — that may apply. The 7-day window above is our voluntary policy and does not reduce any statutory right you have.

Tones change how an interpretation is told, not what it says. Same chart, same astrological observation — different voice. We offer nine.

• Modern — Direct, contemporary language. Plain and current.
• Practical — Grounded, action-oriented, focused on lived application.
• Classical — Traditional astrological framing, terminology rooted in the tradition's history.
• Mythic — Archetypal voice; uses imagery from myth and story.
• Therapeutic — Psychological lens; frames patterns in terms of integration and growth.
• Empowering — Emphasizes agency and choice. Frames everything as possibility.
• Transformational — Depth psychology and shadow work — for slower, harder self-inquiry.
• Poetic — Image, rhythm, evocation. Reads more like literature than analysis.
• Strategic — Pattern-recognition and decision-framing. Clear-eyed and analytical.

Tier access: Free includes Modern and Practical. Studio adds Classical, Mythic, Therapeutic, and Empowering (6 total). Practitioner includes all nine.

Try them — they read very differently even on the same placement. Most people find one or two that fit their ear and stay there.

House systems are different mathematical methods for dividing the sky into the twelve houses of a chart. They produce different placements for things sitting near house cusps — sometimes meaningfully different.

If you don't already use a specific house system, stick with Placidus, our default. It's the most widely used system in modern Western astrology and what most contemporary books and astrologers assume.

If you do have a preference, we offer 15 systems at the Practitioner tier: Placidus, Whole Sign, Koch, Equal House, Topocentric, Porphyry, Regiomontanus, Campanus, Equal Ascendant, Morinus, Alcabitius, Krusinski, Vehlow Equal, Meridian, and Azimuthal. Studio includes 6 (Placidus, Whole Sign, Koch, Equal House, Topocentric, Porphyry). Free includes 2 — Placidus and Whole Sign — which together cover the modern and the oldest tradition.

Short version of the debate. Placidus is time-based: it divides space by where a planet has been on its arc since rising or culminating. Whole Sign is the oldest system, used in Hellenistic astrology, where each sign is exactly one house. Different systems suit different traditions and questions. None is "right" or "wrong" — they're different lenses on the same sky.

The zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each spanning 30 degrees of the celestial circle:

1. Aries (March 21 - April 19) - The Ram - Fire sign, cardinal
2. Taurus (April 20 - May 20) - The Bull - Earth sign, fixed
3. Gemini (May 21 - June 20) - The Twins - Air sign, mutable
4. Cancer (June 21 - July 22) - The Crab - Water sign, cardinal
5. Leo (July 23 - August 22) - The Lion - Fire sign, fixed
6. Virgo (August 23 - September 22) - The Virgin - Earth sign, mutable
7. Libra (September 23 - October 22) - The Scales - Air sign, cardinal
8. Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) - The Scorpion - Water sign, fixed
9. Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) - The Archer - Fire sign, mutable
10. Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) - The Goat - Earth sign, cardinal
11. Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) - The Water Bearer - Air sign, fixed
12. Pisces (February 19 - March 20) - The Fish - Water sign, mutable

Your Sun sign is determined by which zodiac sign the Sun was in at your birth. However, your complete chart includes the Moon, Rising sign, and all planets in various signs.

The 12 houses represent different areas of life in your birth chart:

1. 1st House (Ascendant): Self, identity, physical appearance, first impressions
2. 2nd House: Money, possessions, values, self-worth
3. 3rd House: Communication, siblings, short trips, learning
4. 4th House (IC): Home, family, roots, emotional foundation
5. 5th House: Creativity, romance, children, pleasure, self-expression
6. 6th House: Health, daily routines, work, service
7. 7th House (Descendant): Partnerships, marriage, one-on-one relationships
8. 8th House: Transformation, shared resources, intimacy, death/rebirth
9. 9th House: Higher education, travel, philosophy, beliefs
10. 10th House (Midheaven/MC): Career, public image, reputation, life goals
11. 11th House: Friends, groups, hopes, humanitarian causes
12. 12th House: Subconscious, spirituality, hidden matters, endings

The planets in each house show where you focus energy in those life areas.

Each planet in astrology represents different aspects of personality and life:

Personal Planets (fast-moving, individual influence):

• Sun: Core identity, ego, vitality, life purpose
• Moon: Emotions, instincts, nurturing, the mother
• Mercury: Communication, thinking, learning, short journeys
• Venus: Love, beauty, values, attraction, pleasure
• Mars: Action, drive, aggression, passion, courage

Social Planets (generational with personal impact):

• Jupiter: Expansion, luck, wisdom, growth, abundance
• Saturn: Structure, discipline, responsibility, limitations, lessons

Outer Planets (generational, collective influence):

• Uranus: Innovation, rebellion, sudden change, individuality
• Neptune: Dreams, intuition, spirituality, illusion, creativity
• Pluto: Transformation, power, death/rebirth, the unconscious

The sign and house placement of each planet shows HOW and WHERE that energy expresses in your life.

These three signs form the core of your astrological identity:

Sun Sign:

• Represents your core self, ego, and life purpose
• The sign the Sun was in at your birth
• Answers: "Who am I at my core?"
• Most commonly known (your "zodiac sign")

Moon Sign:

• Represents your emotional nature and inner world
• The sign the Moon was in at your birth
• Answers: "How do I feel and process emotions?"
• Often more visible in private or intimate settings

Rising Sign (Ascendant):

• Represents how others see you and your outward style
• The sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth
• Answers: "What first impression do I make?"
• Requires accurate birth time to calculate

Together, these three signs give a much more complete picture than Sun sign alone. For example, you might be a Leo Sun (confident core), Pisces Moon (sensitive emotions), and Virgo Rising (practical presentation).

Your birth time is crucial for accurate chart calculation because:

It determines your Rising Sign (Ascendant):

• The Rising sign changes approximately every 2 hours
• It sets up your entire house system
• Without it, about 1/3 of your chart is unknown

It positions the houses accurately:

• Houses represent life areas (career, relationships, etc.)
• Planet house placements change throughout the day
• Wrong time = wrong house placements

It affects planetary aspects:

• The Moon moves about 12-14 degrees per day
• Precise aspects depend on exact positions

Where to find your birth time:

• Birth certificate (most reliable)
• Hospital records
• Baby book or family records
• Ask parents or relatives

If you truly cannot find your birth time, you can still create a chart: tick the unknown-birth-time box and it will be cast for sunrise at your birthplace. Your planets' signs will almost always be right (the Moon is the exception, since it can change sign during the day), but your Rising sign, Midheaven and house positions will be estimates, and the chart will say so.
