Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between my sun, moon, and rising signs?

Your sun sign reflects your core identity, your moon sign your emotional inner world, and your rising (ascendant) sign the face you show the world. Our Sun Sign Calculator, Moon Sign Calculator, and house tools work out each placement from your birth date, time, and location.

How is zodiac compatibility calculated?

Compatibility compares the placements of two charts — sun signs at the simplest level, and Venus and Mars for romantic and physical chemistry. Our Zodiac Compatibility and Venus-Mars Compatibility tools score the pairing and explain the strengths and friction points behind the number.

What is a birth chart and what do I need to calculate one?

A birth (natal) chart maps where the planets sat at the moment you were born. You need your birth date, time, and place. From those, our House Calculator, Midheaven Calculator, and Aspect Pattern Calculator derive your houses, angles, and the major aspects between planets.

What is my life path number?

Your life path number reduces your full birth date to a single digit (or master number) that describes your overall journey. Our Life Path Number Calculator and Numerology Profile tools compute it and the rest of your core numbers, including expression, soul urge, and personality numbers.

What is a Saturn return?

A Saturn return is when Saturn comes back to the position it held at your birth, roughly every 29.5 years — around ages 29, 58, and 87. It often marks a period of maturing and recalibration. Our Saturn Return Calculator estimates the timing of yours.

Are these astrology readings accurate, or just for fun?

The planetary positions are real: signs, placements, returns, retrogrades, and moon phases are computed from a genuine astronomical ephemeris, not random text or fixed cycles. The interpretations, however, are for reflection and entertainment — astrology is not a science and the readings are not predictions.

Can I save my chart or get a daily horoscope?

These tools run on demand and do not store your readings. If you want them to persist, our sister astrology app zoe.date lets you save your chart and readings to a free profile and offers an optional daily horoscope by email for account holders.
