Creating your birth chart and checking your current planetary transits can be an enlightening experience. Two popular free resources for this purpose are Astrodienst and Astroseek. Below, you’ll find a step-by-step guide on how to use these platforms effectively.

  • Name: For personal records; this does not affect the chart.
  • Date of Birth: Ensure accuracy, as even a day’s difference can change your chart.
