Placements FAQ

What are placements in astrology?

A placement is the zodiac sign a planet (or point like the Ascendant) was in when you were born. Your Sun sign is just one placement — your Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Rising sign each describe a different part of your personality.

What are the 'big three' in astrology?

Your big three are your Sun sign (core identity), Moon sign (emotional nature) and Rising sign (how you come across). Together they give a much fuller picture than your Sun sign alone.

Why aren't Uranus, Neptune and Pluto signs included?

The outer planets stay in each sign for 7 to 30 years, so everyone born in the same period shares them. They describe generations more than individuals — their house position in your chart matters more than their sign.

How do I find my placements?

You need your birth date, exact birth time and birthplace. Skygram calculates your full natal chart for free, showing every placement, house and aspect.
