Create Your Zodiac Profile
Step 1: Sign Up or Sign In
- Go to ZodiacDrone
- Click "Get Started" or "Sign In"
- Create an account with email or OAuth (Google/GitHub)
Step 2: Enter Your Birth Information
After signing in, you'll be prompted to create your zodiac profile:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Birth Date | ✅ Yes | Your date of birth (e.g., February 14, 1995) |
| Birth Time | ⭕ Optional | Time you were born (e.g., 3:45 PM) |
| Birth Place | ⭕ Optional | City where you were born (e.g., San Francisco) |
| Nickname | ⭕ Optional | A name for this profile (e.g., "Me", "Partner") |
Why birth time matters: Without birth time, we can only calculate your sun sign. With birth time, we can also calculate your moon sign (emotions) and rising sign (how others see you).
Step 3: View Your Birth Chart
Once you submit your birth information, ZodiacDrone instantly calculates:
- Sun Sign ☀️ - Your core identity and ego
- Moon Sign 🌙 - Your emotional nature (requires birth time)
- Rising Sign ⬆️ - How others perceive you (requires birth time + place)
- Complete Natal Chart - All planetary positions
You'll see your results displayed with:
- Zodiac symbols and icons
- Brief descriptions of each sign
- Personality tags based on your chart
Step 4: Get Your First AI Reading
Now for the exciting part! Ask AI about your chart:
- Click "Ask AI" or navigate to the reading section
- Type a question like:
- "What are my career strengths?"
- "How do I handle relationships?"
- "What should I focus on this month?"
- Click "Generate Reading"
The AI will analyze your complete birth chart and provide personalized insights - not generic horoscopes!
Pro tip: Be specific with your questions! Instead of "Tell me about my chart", try "What does my Mars in Aries mean for my career?"

Troubleshooting
"My moon/rising sign isn't showing"
You need to provide your birth time for moon sign calculation, and both birth time and place for rising sign. Update your profile with this information.
"The reading doesn't seem accurate"
Make sure your birth information is correct, especially the birth time. Even a few hours difference can change your moon and rising signs significantly.
"I don't know my birth time"
Check your birth certificate, ask family members, or contact the hospital where you were born. Many people find their birth time on official documents.
