Astrology Placement Calculator — FAQ
What is an astrology placement?
An astrology placement is the zodiac sign a planet occupied at the moment of your birth. Each planet governs a different area of life — your Sun sign shows your core identity, your Moon sign reflects your emotional nature, and your Rising sign describes how others perceive you.
How accurate is this placement calculator?
Our calculator uses the same astronomical algorithms (Jean Meeus, Astronomical Algorithms, 2nd ed.) used by professional astrology software. Sun and Moon signs are calculated to within fractions of a degree. For Rising sign accuracy, your exact birth time and location are essential.
Why do I need my birth time?
Your Rising sign (Ascendant) changes every 2 hours as Earth rotates. Without a birth time, we can't determine your Rising sign. Your Sun sign only needs a date, while your Moon sign also benefits from birth time since the Moon moves about 13° per day.
What if I don't know my birth time?
Leave the time field blank. You'll still get 7 accurate placements: Sun, Moon (approximate), Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. For the Rising sign, check your birth certificate or ask your parents.
What does my Mercury sign mean?
Mercury governs how you think, communicate, and process information. Your Mercury sign reveals your mental style — whether you're a quick-fire Gemini thinker, a methodical Capricorn planner, or an intuitive Pisces dreamer.
