Event chart
Cast a chart for a past event to see the sky at that moment. The angles shift about 1° every 4 minutes, so the more exact the time, the more reliable the chart.

Frequently asked questions
What if I don't know the exact minute?
You can still cast it, but treat the Ascendant, Midheaven and houses with caution. With only a date, focus on the wider sky that day.
How is an event chart different from a natal chart?
A natal chart is cast for a person's birth; an event chart is cast for the moment something happened.
Can an event chart prove cause and effect?
No. It offers a symbolic framework for reflection. It can't replace evidence or prove real-world cause and effect.
