Birth Date Entry
Please, enter day, month, and year of birth.
When entering a year, you can usually omit the two first digits of the year number. E.g., a year value "79" will be interpreted as "1979".

Birth Time Entry
Please select the hour of birth in the hour field, and enter the minute (between 00 and 59) in the minute field.
The time must be given in wrist watch time, as it would have been shown on a normal person's wrist watch at the place of the birth event. All necessary corrections for time zone or daylight saving time are applied by the computer automatically.
Unknown birth time
If you don't know the time of birth, you should find it out. In nearly all countries of the world the time of birth is officially registered at the registry office where births records are maintained. Please contact the birth registry office in charge for your birth town, and request a copy of the registry information, including birth time. You must mention birth time, because otherwise many birth certificates are issued without the time even if it is contained in the records.
You can also select 'unknown' in the hour field. Only a limited set of services can be offered for such cases.
Precise time entry
The minute field accepts also time entry with high precision, up to 1/100 of a second. If you want to enter 23m45sec, please enter 23:45 or 23.45 in the minute field. Fractions of seconds can be entered like 23:45.67. The minute field scrolls horizontally if your entry is longer than the visible space. Most chart output will not display fractional seconds but the fractions are used internally for computation.
birth town Los Angeles, CA (US), 34n03, 118w15
Birth Town Entry
Please, enter the birth town (not the place where you live!). Often, it is also sufficient to enter the first few letters of the name of the place.
After clicking on "continue", please check if the birth town field displays the correct place. It may happen that our computer finds several places of same or similar name. In such cases you have to select the correct place from the pulldown list.
If the birth town required is not found in our database, please choose a greater town or city close to the place you would have wanted.
Required precision of birth location
If the birth time is precise to +- 1 minute, the birth location does not have to be more precise than 15 km or 10 miles, without loosing precision of the chart. If the birth time is known only with a precision of 5 minutes, location does not have to be more precise than 75 km or 50 miles. It makes absolutely no sense to aim for exact street location, unless the birth time is known to the second, which is never the case.
How to change an incorrect birth place
- getting born again is a good possibility ;-) but there are others: - Click on the link "other town". - Now you can enter the new city name and press "continue" as usual.

Time zone Image
If you activate this checkbox, enter a valid date, time and place, a time zone worldmap will be shown at the bottom. The birth place is marked on the map with information about the Universal Time and the time zone of the place for the given birth date and time.
Clicking on the time zone map image, a help page will appear which explains more details of the time zone map, and reveals some secrets for special data entry requirements. Please try it out.
Manual Time Zone Selection
Usually, it is not necessary and not recommended to select the time zone manually, because this computer program knows which time zones apply to which places for what times, and has complete information about daylight saving time.
In some very rare cases a user may have better information about time zones and daylight saving time than the database used here. For example, there are areas of doubt for some years in Vietnam, and for many parts of the former Soviet Union.
In such cases it may be necessary to select a manual time zone in the pull-down list. To return to automatic time zone, please select "automatic time zone" in the list.
Gender of your partner in single-person horoscopes The text of all horoscopes is worded according to the gender you have entered in the data entry form. In all partner horoscopes, the computer knows the gender of both partners, and therefore chooses the correct wording for partner references.
Some text in single-person horoscopes contains partner references, too. The default setting of the computer assumes that your partner is of the opposite sex. You can change this setting so that all partner references are worded according to a relationship with a person of the same gender.
To do this, please use the checkbox next to this glyph. If you activate this checkbox, all partner references will be set to 'partner of the same gender'.
This setting will be kept permanently in your natal data record on this server. It affects all available single-person horoscopes in which your partner is mentioned in a gender-dependent way. The setting also extends to orders via Astroshop. For example, there is a chapter 'Relationship Patterns' in the Psychological Horoscope, which will then automatically choose the correct wording for your partner's gender.
The special setting we have discussed here is effective only for single-person horoscopes. It has no function in two-person horoscopes where the actual gender of both partners is known.
Twin horoscope
The astrological interpretation for a twin will in most cases not be different from that of a single birth. What is potentially different is how the chart is lived. An explanation of this mechanism is included in some reports if the twin option is checked.
If you want a report copy for each of two twins, please do not simply order it at regular price. Please enter the data for both in your data collection and mark each of them as twin.
Order only one report, and afterwards write to us at order@astro.com that you desire the same report for the second twin, at a reduced price.
