About Sun Moon Ascent

Sun Moon Ascent is a free astrology site built around one thing done well: your Sun, Moon and Rising signs, worked out properly and explained clearly, on a page that is fast on a phone and pleasant to read.

How the charts are calculated

Planet positions come from an astronomical model (the open source astronomy-engine library), accurate to well under a degree for any date from 1900 on. Your birth place sets the latitude, longitude and time zone, including the daylight saving rules that applied on the day you were born. Houses use the Placidus system, with whole sign houses near the poles.

Who writes the readings

Every interpretation on the site is original writing, made for this site, in plain language. We try to describe both sides of every placement and never to flatter, frighten or predict.

How we read astrology

Astrology is a symbolic language for character, timing and relationships. The readings here describe tendencies and moods, and they are written to help you understand yourself and the people around you. Our readings are here for reflection and are no substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

Who runs it

Sun Moon Ascent is operated by Signs & Skies, a small independent publisher of astrology sites. Its sister sites are Zodipaw, star signs for pets, and Saju Score, Korean Four Pillars readings.
