A LITTLE SELF-DISCOVERY

Explore your birth chart.

Discover your ascendant and planetary houses in a North Indian diamond chart. Choose your birthplace; we’ll work out the time zone for your birth date.

Loading city list…

Was your birth time during a repeated clock hour?

When daylight saving ends, some times occur twice. The calculator will ask you to choose if this applies.

The time zone is determined from your selected city and birth date, including daylight saving. Confirm your exact birth time: the ascendant and houses are time-sensitive.

Your birth details stay in this browser and are not saved or sent to a server.

Calculation methods and location data

North Indian layout with whole-sign houses: the ascendant’s sign is house 1, followed by the remaining signs in zodiac order. Positions use Astronomy Engine, a Lahiri ayanamsa with consistent nutation correction for sidereal charts, and mean lunar nodes. The implementation was compared with Swiss Ephemeris on 646 historical test charts: maximum planetary difference under 16 arcseconds and ascendant difference under 1 arcsecond in that sample. These are test results, not guaranteed error bounds. Confirm placements near sign boundaries with a precision ephemeris.

Birthplace lookup runs on this website using a bundled GeoNames city dataset, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Search covers major cities; manual coordinates are available for other places. Historical time-zone rules come from your browser’s IANA data and may be less reliable for older dates. Dates: 1900–2100. Latitudes: between 66° south and 66° north. No birth details are sent to an external service.
