Frequently Asked Questions

Your birth chart (Natal Chart) is a snapshot of the sky at the exact time and place of your birth. It shows the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, the 12 houses and their relationships to each other (aspects). Since the sky changes noticeably every 4 minutes, each horoscope is unique – it is like a cosmic fingerprint of your personality.

Your sun sign describes your core self – how you see yourself and what drives you. The ascendant (rising sign) shows how others perceive you – your first impression and outer appearance. Your moon sign reveals your emotional inner world – how you feel, what you need and how you react in relationships. These three together form your "Big Three" – the most important foundation of any horoscope interpretation.

The 12 houses represent different life areas: 1. Identity, 2. Finances, 3. Communication, 4. Home/Family, 5. Creativity/Love, 6. Health/Daily life, 7. Partnerships, 8. Transformation, 9. Wisdom/Travel, 10. Career, 11. Friendships/Goals, 12. Spirituality. Planets in a house especially activate its themes. Empty houses do not mean that this life area is unimportant – the ruling planet of the sign still shows how you experience this theme.

The birth time is very important because the ascendant changes every 2 hours and determines the house division. Without an exact time, sun sign, moon sign and planetary aspects can still be calculated correctly – only the ascendant and houses may differ. Tip: Check your birth certificate, ask your parents or contact the registry office/hospital. Astromantika calculates your horoscope even with an approximate time – the more accurate, the more precise the analysis.

The Ascendant (rising sign) is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It determines not only how others perceive you (first impression, charisma, body language), but also sets the entire house structure of your horoscope. Without the Ascendant, you are literally missing half of your horoscope – houses 1–12, which show where in your life certain energies operate. That is why an accurate birth time is so crucial: the Ascendant changes signs approximately every 2 hours. If you don't know your birth time, try our Ascendant Finder.

Our Ascendant Finder is an innovative tool that helps you determine your likely Ascendant – even without an exact birth time. You answer questions about your appearance, demeanor, first impression and behavioral patterns. Based on your answers, the algorithm matches which rising sign best fits your description. The result is a ranking of the most likely Ascendants with percentage values. Tip: Also ask your parents or check your birth certificate – even an approximate birth time (e.g. "morning" or "afternoon") greatly narrows down the possibilities. Try the Ascendant Finder now.

The Ascendant Finder provides a well-founded estimate, but it does not replace an exact birth time. In most cases, the actual Ascendant is among the top 3 results. The accuracy depends on how honestly and reflectively you answer the questions – it is about how you truly are, not how you would like to be. For a definitive result, we recommend asking your parents or the registry office for the birth time. However, the tool is ideal as a starting point and helps many users discover their Ascendant.

Your zodiac sign (Sun sign) is based on the position of the Sun at your birth and describes your core self, motivation and identity. Your Ascendant is based on the exact time and shows how you come across to others – your outer appearance, first impression and behavior in new situations. Example: A Leo sun sign with Virgo Ascendant appears modest and reserved outwardly, but has the inner fire and pride of Leo. Together with your Moon sign (your emotional inner world) they form the "Big Three" – the three most important building blocks of your horoscope.

Astrocartography (also known as Relocation Astrology) shows how your birth chart changes at different locations around the world. Each city shifts the planets into different houses and changes the angles to the axes (ASC, MC, DC, IC). This means: In certain places your career opportunities are better, in others your love life flourishes, and yet others promote creativity or financial abundance. Astromantika analyzes over 200 cities worldwide and shows you your personal top locations for career, love, money, health, spirituality and creativity – all based on your unique birth chart. Create your Astrocartography now.

For each city we calculate a complete local horoscope – as if you were born there. We analyze: 1. Which planets are in angular houses (1, 4, 7, 10) – these have the strongest effect there. 2. How close planets are to the four main axes (Ascendant, MC, Descendant, IC). 3. Which aspects change. This results in a score per life area (career, love, money, health, spirituality, creativity). Cities are then ranked by total score. You can also filter by a specific category – e.g. "Where is my career score highest?"

No! You don't have to permanently relocate. Astrocartography can be useful in many ways: Vacation planning – certain places can energetically recharge you. Remote work – consciously work from places that strengthen your career energies. Business trips – hold important meetings at powerful locations. Self-knowledge – understand why you feel particularly good or uneasy at certain places. Of course, a move can have the strongest effect, but even a two-week stay at a strong location can bring noticeable changes.

You need your date of birth, birth time and place of birth. The birth time is particularly important here, as it determines the Ascendant and thus all axes that are crucial for Astrocartography. If you have already created your birth chart on Astromantika, you can use it directly for Astrocartography – all data is automatically transferred. You can also select a specific city for a detailed location analysis.

Yes! Astromantika uses astronomically precise calculations for all planetary positions, houses and aspects – based on the same algorithms as professional astrology software. Our advanced analysis engine then interprets these exact data according to classical astrological rules – similar to an experienced astrologer, but with the ability to consider hundreds of factors simultaneously. The result is a detailed, personal analysis of 3,000–8,000 words.

Each analysis category (Love, Career, Money etc.) focuses on different planets and houses. Your love analysis examines e.g. Venus, Mars, Moon and the 5th/7th/8th house, while the career analysis looks at Saturn, Sun, Jupiter and the 10th/6th/2nd house. Since the planets are in different signs and houses, a completely different picture emerges for each life area. That is exactly why it is worth doing multiple analyses – you discover new facets of your personality every time.

An individual analysis (3–5 credits) dives deep into a specific life area – e.g. only Love or only Career – and provides very detailed insights there. The complete analysis (15 credits) covers all 8 areas of your life in a connected analysis. It also shows how the areas interact. For beginners, we recommend an individual analysis on the topic that interests you most.

The synastry analysis compares the birth charts of two people and shows how your planets interact. It reveals where you are magnetically attracted (conjunctions), where tension and passion arise (squares/oppositions) and where harmony flows (trines/sextiles). The result is not a simple "You match: 85%", but a profound analysis of your relationship dynamics – emotional, communicative, sexual and in daily life.

Yes! The child analysis (8 credits) is specially developed for parents. It shows your child's personality, talents, emotional needs and ideal learning styles. Instead of general predictions, it gives you as a parent concrete tips on how to optimally support and encourage your child. The analysis is formulated in an age-neutral way and is suitable from birth to adolescence. There is also the parent-child analysis (10 credits), which shows how your energies interact.

Yes, you need date of birth, time of birth and place of birth for both people. The more accurate the times, the more precise the analysis. Don't worry: your partner's data is treated just as confidentially as your own and is not shared with third parties.

The horoscope itself is completely free – including planetary positions, houses, aspects and interactive chart. For the in-depth analyses you need credits: individual analyses cost 3–5 credits (depending on category), the child analysis 8 credits and the complete analysis 15 credits. Credit packages start from 4.99 EUR. Credits never expire, so you can use them at your own pace.

Taster (3 credits, 4.99 EUR): Perfect for a first individual analysis. Starter (8 credits, 9.99 EUR): Ideal for 2 individual analyses or a child analysis. Popular (20 credits, 19.99 EUR): Our bestseller – enough for a complete analysis + individual analysis or 4–5 individual analyses. Pro (40 credits, 34.99 EUR): For couples and families with synastry.
