Questions

Everything you need to know

Getting Started

Is it free, and do I need an account?
Yes. The birth chart calculator is free and requires no account or credit card. Automated anti-abuse limits may apply on the shared service. Signing in adds chart saving and pre-fill convenience; it is not required to unlock synastry.
What does an unknown birth time change?
Without a recorded birth time, most calculators still run from a 12:00 placeholder. Planets in signs that do not depend on houses or angles remain usable. The rising sign, Midheaven, and houses are then computed from that noon placeholder; they are not a known birth time. Hellenistic astrology and Pancha Pakshi require an exact local time and will not calculate from a placeholder.
Which part is astronomy and which part is astrology?
Planetary positions on the free site are computed from JPL DE440. That calculation is astronomy. The meanings assigned to signs, houses, and aspects are astrological interpretation; they are not scientific predictions, and Moira keeps that distinction visible.
Is synastry free without an account?
Yes. Anonymous synastry is available without an account. Enter birth data for two people to calculate a bi-wheel with cross-chart aspects and house overlays. Signing in adds the convenience of selecting, saving, and pre-filling charts; it does not unlock the calculation itself.

Plans & Workspace

What does Enhanced add?
Moira Enhanced adds Urania's personalised readings and saved-work features to the free astrology toolkit. It includes deeper readings on supported tools, My Sky's daily interpretation and optional morning email, advanced-layer and location readings, unlimited saved charts, and saved Hellenistic dossiers, timelines, exports and authored reminders. One Complete Natal document for your first distinct chart is included. Documents for additional charts require separately purchased credits. The morning email is optional and uses your primary saved chart. Enable it in My Sky. The public calculators, astrocartography map and Ephemera exports stay free. Enhanced costs $9/month or $99/year. Workspace includes Enhanced. Enhanced does not include the Urania Workspace application or its chart-aware chat. Free and Enhanced use the same JPL DE440 data.
What does Workspace add, including named research workstreams?
Workspace is a browser-based research environment. It adds advanced natal, transit, synastry, progression, return, fixed-star, midpoint, harmonic, and specialist workflows. Workspace uses DE441. You can create and switch among up to 8 named research workstreams at once. Each workstream keeps its own active work and return points; saved charts remain shared by design. Delete a workstream when you are finished and you can create another.
What does Workspace cost, and how do promotion codes work?
Workspace costs $19 per month or $190 per year. There is no per-chart fee. If you received a promotion code, enter it at checkout. The checkout page shows the recurring terms before you subscribe.

Accuracy & Methods

How are calculations validated?
Moira publishes reproducible comparisons against named references on the validation page. Each report identifies its engine version, corpus, tolerance, and boundary so the result can be inspected and repeated. These are bounded calculation comparisons, not a claim that astrological interpretation is scientifically validated.
Which house systems are available?
The free calculator offers all 17 website house systems, from Placidus (the default), Koch, Whole Sign, Equal House, and Regiomontanus to Campanus, Porphyry, Alcabitius, Topocentric, and more. The engine supports a broader registry, and Workspace exposes it in full. The features and documentation pages provide the deeper capability record.
