How To Look Up Your Birth Chart

How to find your own birth chart for free, what information you need, and the settings Desiree recommends.

Written by Liezl Marin

You need your birth chart before you can do anything else with astrology, including booking a reading. Looking it up is free and takes about two minutes.

What You Need First

  • Your birth date

  • Your exact birth time, ideally from your birth certificate

  • Your birth city and country

Birth time is the one people get stuck on. It changes which houses your planets fall into, so an approximate time gives you an approximate chart. It is usually on your birth certificate, and in many places you can request a copy from the office that issued it.

If you cannot find yours, write to us before booking a reading and we will tell you what is possible without it.

How To Look It Up

Desiree has written a full walkthrough with a video tutorial, so you can follow along on screen rather than working from written steps.

It uses a free chart site and takes about two minutes.

One Setting To Watch

There is a house system setting partway through, and it is the step most people miss.

Desiree works in Whole Sign houses. The site defaults to something else, so if you skip that step your chart will not line up with how she reads it or how her guides are written.

The walkthrough shows you exactly where to change it.

Where To Go Next

Once you have your chart in front of you, the free guides are the place to start. Our guides are here: The 12 Astrological Houses Guide and The Nodes Guide

If you want to learn to read it properly, Language Of The Stars is Desiree's foundational astrology course.

If you would rather have it read for you, the Cosmic Clarity Consultation is where Desiree recommends starting. Our guide is here: Which 1:1 Session Is Right For You?
