What is the difference between a natal chart and a horoscope?

A natal chart is a complete map of planetary positions at your birth. A horoscope is typically a simplified Sun-sign forecast. Your natal chart contains far more information — house placements, aspects, dignities, and fixed star conjunctions that a Sun-sign reading cannot capture.

How accurate is a natal chart calculator?

TheAstroKind uses Swiss Ephemeris, which calculates planetary positions to within 0.001 arc-seconds. The main variable affecting accuracy is your birth time — even a few minutes can shift house cusps significantly.

Do I need my exact birth time?

For the most accurate chart, yes. Your birth time determines the Ascendant, house cusps, and the position of the Moon (which moves roughly 12 degrees per day). If you only know an approximate time, the planetary sign placements will still be accurate.
