# What does the free natal chart calculator show?

> Enter birth date, time, and place at https://goninoschool.com/natal-chart to compute a full Placidus natal chart — placements, houses, aspects, dispositor tree — free, with nothing stored.

## What do I enter?

- **Birth date** (MM/DD/YYYY)
- **Birth time** — or check "I don't know my birth time" and the chart is read without houses, rising, or Midheaven
- **Birth place** — offline city lookup; your data never touches a third-party geocoder
- Optionally, a few traits (gender, skin tone, hair color, eye color) to tune the optional soul-portrait artwork to you

Nothing is stored on the free calculator.

## What comes back?

1. **The crest** — your chart's archetypal sigil and chart shape (bundle, bowl, locomotive, splash…)
2. **The Big Three** — Sun, Moon, Rising
3. **The prominent powers** — rising sign, the luminaries, most elevated planet, chart ruler, and Prometheus (Uranus)
4. **The ruling archetypes** — your three ruling archetypes
5. **The nodal axis** — South Node (the inherited), North Node (the destined), and the crossing between them
6. **Core placements** — every point with sign and Placidus house, with short readings
7. **The aspects** — every aspect within 5°, tightest first, each with its manifestation
8. **The chain of command** — the dispositor tree: sovereigns, reception pacts, closed rings
9. **Elemental weather** — element and modality balance
10. **Copy Everything for AI** — one tap copies positions, houses, and aspects with an interpretation prompt, ready to paste into any AI assistant

## What is the soul portrait?

An optional generated artwork of your chart's "soul constellation," drawn from your placements (and your described traits, if given). The painted portrait also arrives with the full written reading.

## How does this relate to the $50 reading?

The calculator is the raw code. The [$50 written reading](https://goninoschool.com/astrapsychology.md) is the full interpretation in the School's voice — fifteen points, five tightest aspects, top three patterns. Request by email: goninocapital@gmail.com.

## Can agents compute charts?

Yes — a JSON API and an MCP server expose the same deterministic engine. See [/agents.md](https://goninoschool.com/agents.md).
