Questions
Why does the house need my birth time?
The houses turn once a day with the Earth: the Ascendant moves about one degree every four minutes. Without the time the house of an event is a guess, so the result shows only the planets it touches.
Is the date the same everywhere?
The event is one moment for the whole Earth. The page gives it in UTC; in your time zone the date can be a day earlier or later.
How is it calculated?
With Swiss Ephemeris: geocentric positions in the tropical zodiac and Placidus houses. It is the same calculation the sky today page, the apps and the public API use.
Is it free?
Yes. The calculation on this page is free. To ask the AI what the event means for you, you need a free account; the AI then reads the event against your whole chart.
