Problems with recieving the email:

If you have entered your email address you should get an email within 10 minutes. Please don't send a chart to any one else's email address without prior permission.
Many email services no longer allow emails with graphics attached, particularly if they are .gif format files such as this astro chart. If this is the case you can only save or print a copy of the astro chart web page (which you will receive after completing this form). Use the save or print options on web browser.
If you are on AOL you may need to enable your email program so that it can receive attachments or graphics. Contact AOL tech support.
Make sure you have entered a correct email address. We get many incorrect email addresses every day.

Problems with the Place:

The coordinates and time zone of your place and time of birth will be looked up in an extensive 250,000 place worldwide atlas. If the place cannot be found it is most likely due to incorrect spelling, or some other mistaken entry. If the place cannot be found you will be prompted for more information.
Don't enter any province, county, or state names for countries outside of the USA. Just enter: place, country
USSR, Yugoslavia, and other former communist country names will not be found. Please use the most current country names. see the country list
If there are multiple towns in your country or US state that have the same name, we suggest you substitute a different town nearby which has a unique name. Otherwise the web page will choose whichever town is found first in it's database. This free web page is currently limited in that area, although our windows software has no such limitations.

Problems with the Time or Date:

Please enter Month first. Example: Month/date/year (12/31/2000)
The correct time is important for determining your houses, rising sign, and exact moon position. Please try to be as accurate as possible. If you don't know the time, the Rising Sign and possibly Moon sign might be inaccurate. Any planets at the border of a sign (cuspal) may also be inaccurate.
Please enter the legal time of day at the time of birth. Our database has a record of all time zones throughout history, including daylight time, war time, etc. These time zones will be compensated for automatically.

Other FAQ's:

"My rising sign is different than I expected, how come?" : Our software uses the most accurate data available anywhere for places and changes in time zones througout history. The rising sign changes every two hours. Your time must be accurate to get the proper rising sign. In many cases people are given incorrect rising signs when the astrologer or software program calculates the time zone incorrectly. There are many loopholes in the time zone laws, which were not even standardized until 1966. Our programmers have been dealing with this issue for 20+ years. Provided you have entered your location and date and time correctly and your town was found in our database then you can trust this astro chart as being accurate.
"Does the degrees mean that I have these characteristics more than others?" : The degrees listed on the printout are just the position in the sky where the planet is in degrees of longitude. Generally the interpretations are in order of importance, with the Sun, Moon, and Rising Sign being the most important and 'personal' and Pluto being least important. But each planet has it's own area of your life that it rules.
"What is this attachement on the email I received, how do I view it?" : The attachemnt is a normal .gif graphic file of your astrology chart. It can be opened by any graphic program or web browser program. In most email programs you should merely have to double click on the icon for the attachment to view it.
"The houses on this chart are not the same as another chart from elsewhere, why?" House cusps are not listed or interepreted in the text of this free report. If you would like more detailed information about your houses, see our paid reports at http://alabe.com/chartservice. The lines for the house cusps are however printed on the chart wheel graphic included with your report. There are many different methods of calculating these house cusps. No method is more 'correct' than the other methods, and the results vary slightly from one method to another. Paticularly the 2,3,5,6,8,9,11&12th house cusps. This chart program uses the Koch method of calculating houses which is preferred by most American astrologers. Many other sites (especially in Europe) use the Placidus method.
