Can ChatGPT calculate my birth chart?
Not reliably. A language model has no ephemeris, the table of where the planets were at a given moment, so when you give it only a birth date, time and place it estimates the positions and often gets the Moon, the Rising sign and the houses wrong. It reads a chart well once the positions are computed for it. Calculate your chart here, copy the text, and paste it in.
How do I give ChatGPT my birth chart?
Enter your birth date, exact birth time and birthplace above. Copy the text block, or copy it with one of the four questions attached. Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot and tell the assistant to use those positions and not to recalculate them. The ready-made questions already include that instruction.
What does the text export include?
Your birth data and timezone, your Sun, Moon and Rising signs, all ten planets by degree, sign and house with retrograde marked, the North and South Node, Lilith, Chiron, Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta, your Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and IC, all twelve house cusps, and your major aspects listed tightest first with the orb in degrees.
How accurate are the positions?
They come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the engine professional astrology software uses, and are rounded to the nearest arc minute in the text. The timezone, including historical daylight saving, is resolved from the coordinates of your birthplace and not from your device. Accuracy then depends on your birth time: the Ascendant moves about one degree every four minutes, so a time that is off by twenty minutes can move your house cusps by five degrees.
What if I do not know my birth time?
Choose the unknown time option. The chart is cast for noon, and the export leaves out the Rising sign, the angles, the house cusps and every house number instead of printing ones computed for a time that is not yours. Planet signs are still reliable except for the Moon, which moves about 13 degrees a day and can be several degrees off or, near a sign boundary, in the neighboring sign.
Which zodiac and house system does it use?
The tropical zodiac with Placidus houses, the most widely used combination in Western astrology. At polar latitudes where Placidus cannot be computed the houses fall back to Porphyry, and the first line of the export names the system that was used. For a sidereal reading use the Vedic birth chart or the sidereal Big 3 calculator instead.
Does this work with Claude, Gemini and Copilot?
Yes. The export is plain text with one placement per line, so any assistant can read it. Nothing about it is specific to ChatGPT.
What can an AI assistant not tell me from a pasted chart?
Anything about timing. Transits, returns, profections and the question "when" all need the positions of the planets today and on future dates, which an assistant without an ephemeris does not have, so dated predictions from a pasted natal chart are guesses. It also forgets your chart when the conversation ends. The timing calculators on this site compute those dates from the ephemeris.
Is it free?
Yes. The chart and the text export are free and need no account. A free account adds a written reading of your chart here, and a paid plan opens the full Deep Reading, a dated map of your year and an AI astrologer that keeps your chart and follows the current sky.
