Compare Two Birth Charts
Explore connections between two charts without reducing a relationship to a score.
Try the tool →Three small steps
Enter both birth moments
Complete each person’s local date, time, birthplace, and time zone. Use the fictional examples to explore without entering anyone’s details.
Read the overlay
Use the two planet lists to identify whose placement you are viewing. The shared wheel is a map; the cross-chart aspect list makes individual connections easier to find.
Discuss one connection
Choose an aspect, read the planets involved, and turn its theme into an open question. A chart cannot decide what another person feels or whether a relationship should continue.

Art, sources & approach
Astronomy Engine calculates positions; the site compares tropical, whole-sign charts. Interpretations are symbolic prompts rather than relationship predictions. Chart calculations stay in the browser; city searches send only the city search text.
Lesson diagrams and interface illustrations: Brews and Bloom. Diagrams simplify the idea being taught; they are not historical artifacts.
