Okay...
okay... please remain calm. First off, we're talking about getting a
free online calculation of the birth chart - and not necessarily free
interpretations of your birth chart...
And
hey, gimme a break! Prior to the explosion of the Internet, you would
have been shelling out anywhere from 5 to 10 bucks just for the calculation
of your birth chart (or going without)!
It's
vitally important you know that not all online chart calculation tools
out there are created equal. Many are now going to be quite accurate
and easy to use, but some are still not accurate and/or easy to use.
So
here are two of the cream of the crop chart calculators that you can
rely on for accuracy:
Astrolabe
Astrolabe – maker and/or distributor of professional astrological
calculation software – graciously provides visitors with the
simplest, incredibly difficult to mess up, online birth chart calculator
tool currently available. As part of the calculation, it does include
a few simplistic chart interpretations.
Astrodienst
Astrodienst has developed a simple, mistake-free option for calculating
charts. Better yet, there are several different (and free) chart interpretation
report options available at Astrodienst. The bottom line is that the
Astrodienst simple chart online tool is so "user friendly,"
you have to work at it to make a mistake.
-
To
minimize potential human error in chart calculation, get your
birth chart calculated at both recommended
sites. If no mistake has been made, then the various sign and
degrees positions of the planets and points should be very similar.
-
Further
know that to receive a full and accurate calculation of your birth
chart, you will need to know the exact time of your birth (look
for your birth certificate).
-
Finally,
both Astrolabe and Astrodienst use the Placidus House system as
their default House system. I recently find out some folks were
double checking me by comparing the chart calculations of my paid
chart reports with the calculations of these sites. By default
I use the Koch House system, so just be aware that the exact house
placements will likely vary depending upon which of a dozen house
systems is used.
