FAQ — Common Questions
Quick answers about how our astrology and numerology calculators work. For more depth, see our guides and tools.
General
Do I need my exact time of birth?
No. For Sun Sign, Chinese Zodiac, and Life Path calculators, only your date of birth (or birth year) is needed. Time is only required for advanced astrology charts.
Are these tools free?
Yes. All calculators and guides on this site are free to use for personal, educational, and entertainment purposes.
Do you store my date of birth or name?
No. Calculations run locally in your browser. We do not send or store your personal data on our servers. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Why do zodiac dates sometimes vary?
Because the Sun changes signs at slightly different times each year (and depends on timezone), exact dates can shift. We use conventional date ranges for simplicity.
Is the Life Path Number calculator accurate?
Yes, it follows standard numerology methods. We preserve master numbers 11 and 22 in results. A more advanced version may include 33.
How do I find my Chinese Zodiac element?
Our Chinese Zodiac calculator uses the 12-animal cycle and the 10 heavenly stems to infer your element (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). Enter your birth year to see results.
Can I use this for professional readings?
The tools are intended for fun, learning, and self-reflection. For professional astrological guidance, consult an experienced astrologer.
