It shows my chart wrong. Why?
There could be many reasons why your chart is displayed differently than you know. However, you can generally check the following;
- Check the time zone. Normally, the time zone is automatically calculated when you enter the person information. However, if you have accidentally changed the time zone without realizing it in the Details section of the person addition page, your chart can be calculated differently. You can automatically calculate it by clicking the "Calculate Time Zone" button. As of 2023, Astrology Master uses the most up-to-date and reliable time zone calculation. Note: Automatic calculation feature has been added when entering person information after 2021. If you added it before, you can recalculate it by clicking the "Calculate time zone" button in the Details section.
If you have checked all these, your chart is as calculated. If you are still not sure, you can send the full-screen screenshot of your chart to support@astrologymaster.app for us to check.
It shows my ascendant wrong
Your ascendant may be right on the border. For example, if your rising sign is at 29 degrees 50 minutes in Taurus, it may be shown as Taurus or Gemini with a small difference in different programs. You can see the degree of the rising sign more clearly in the chart section of the chart. Also, different programs can take different latitudes and longitudes for a city. This can cause a small shift. When adding a person, click on the map icon next to the section where you enter the place of birth. You can select the exact location by zooming in on the world map that opens. It will give the most accurate calculation.

What is the compatibility score? How do you calculate it?
You can only see the compatibility score from the Compatibility tab visible only in the Synastry chart. A score between 0-100 is given. Scores above 50 are considered compatible. This score is given according to how planets make angles to each other and how much deviation (orb) occurs in the angle. Under the area where the score is displayed, you can see how many points are given according to the positions of the planets to each other.
Why is my Sun always in the same house in the solar return chart?
When you click on Solar Return in the app, you see the comparative chart between the Birth Chart and the Solar return. The position of the Sun here is its position on your birth chart. Solar Return charts occur when the transit Sun conjuncts the natal Sun. Therefore, the house position will never change.
If you want to look at the solar return chart without a birth chart, change the first chart type to "None" and the second chart type to "Solar Return" on the bottom panel.
Why are the positions of the planets slightly different in the progress chart? Why?
Our progress calculation method is as follows;
In progress charts, each year that has passed since birth is considered as 1 day. This difference is added to the birth date and the positions of the planets on that date give us the progress positions. We calculate the progress chart based on global time, i.e., UTC+0. We think this is a more accurate calculation. First, we convert the current time to global time. Then we convert the birth date to global time and add the difference. We calculate the map of the obtained date with the timezone as UTC+0. The reason is to avoid a possible calculation error in case the time zone changes a few days after the birth date. We have seen that some programs do not pay attention to this and therefore cause the progress degrees to be calculated with a small difference. Calculating according to global time is a more correct method.
Why does it take one degree more in interpreting Sabian symbols?
The signs start at 0 degrees. 0 degree is the first degree. In Sabian symbols, the first degree is considered as 1 degree, not 0. Therefore, 1 degree is added to the other degrees to look at the relevant symbol.
What is rectification?
It is the process of determining your birth time through astrological methods.
How do you calculate rectification?
First, you are asked to enter the range you think your time is. According to this, questions are asked based on the time range you provided. According to your answers, the rising, MC, challenging planetary transitions are considered and the time range is narrowed down. Finally, an important event is asked for and the interval is checked to catch the narrowest range. This process is done entirely based on your answers. Astrological transitions are compared according to your answers and the birth time range is reduced to a minimum.
Why does it calculate my birth time incorrectly in rectification? Why? This calculation is entirely based on the range you chose at the beginning and your answers. This calculation has no absolute guarantee. However, we tested that it often gives the correct result. Rectification calculation is made by considering the planetary transitions in your chart.
It says choose one of the following in rectification but only one option comes out, why?
The method we mainly use to find the birth time is the elimination method. We bring out options to determine which one is dominant among which planets or corner house positions are in the time range, and when you choose an option, other time ranges are eliminated. If there are no other options in the relevant time range, only 1 option may come up. If the option definitely does not suit you, you can check your previous answers or the time range you chose at the beginning. If you chose a very narrow time range at the beginning, a single option will often come out. If the options suit you, mark them and continue. If there is an option that does not suit you, go back to the previous answer and try a different range.
It says "No significant event was found on this date" in rectification. Why?
In the final stage of rectification, you are asked for a significant date. Whether there is a significant transition or another sign astrologically according to the narrowed time range in that date is examined. If there is no significant transition on that date, "No significant event was found on this date" warning appears. This situation is encountered especially when you enter the date incorrectly or a significant event does not match that date. Please try again by entering a correct date.
When the transit moon shows the outer circle, it shows the house positions in the natal chart, why? In instant transits, you see the comparative chart between the transit chart and your natal chart. In instant transit calculations, when you look at the house positions, the house positions of your birth chart, not the transit chart, are considered. This is because the positions of the houses in the birth chart are more stable and significant than the current transit chart. If you want to look at the transit chart alone, change the first chart type to "None" and the second chart type to "Transit" on the bottom panel.
I see that I do not have the option to hide sensitive points in the advanced settings. Why? In advanced settings, you can hide or show sensitive points such as the ascendant and MC, the aspects of these sensitive points, and other points such as black moon Lilith and Priapus. It is possible to show or hide these sensitive points according to your preference. If you are having difficulty finding this option, try looking for a menu or sub-menu that may contain it. If it still doesn't work, it might be a glitch or a feature not yet implemented in the app; in this case, you might consider reaching out to the app's support or checking for updates that might add this functionality.
What is Lilith? Lilith is a point in space that is used in astrology, it is not a physical celestial body. It is often referred to as the "Black Moon Lilith" and is calculated as the lunar apogee, the point in the Moon's orbit where it is furthest from Earth. In astrology, Lilith is often associated with the feminine shadow side, a deeper, perhaps hidden aspect of the feminine energy, linked with the primal, natural forces, and instinct. It is often interpreted in terms of sexuality, wisdom, and independence, but interpretations can vary widely depending on the context and the astrologer's approach.
I see different degrees in other programs in progress charts. Why?
Different astrology software and apps might use slightly different methods for calculating progressed charts, which can result in small variations in the positions of the planets. It is always a good idea to check the settings in each program or app to ensure that they are using the same calculation method, house system, and zodiac system to ensure the most accurate and consistent results. Moreover, the difference might be due to the specific type of progressions being used, such as secondary progressions, tertiary progressions, or solar arc directions, as different techniques can yield different results. It's important to always confirm that you are comparing like with like when looking at charts from different sources.
