LODESTAR JOURNALTwins can be born only minutes apart in the same place. Their birth charts may look alike, but the recorded times are worth checking before you call the charts identical.
A chart starts with birth details
A chart calculator uses a birth date, time, and place. Give it identical details for two people and it will draw the same chart. With twins, many chart positions may be very close even when their recorded birth times differ.
A few minutes may change a chart marker
The Ascendant marks a zodiac position at the eastern horizon at birth. Its degree changes with time. If it crosses into another sign between two births, the rising signs can differ; house boundaries may differ too. A short time gap does not always cause those changes.
Similar charts do not mean identical lives
Twins with similar charts can make different choices and have different experiences. Read each person's story alongside any chart symbol. A chart alone cannot establish either person's character or future.
A few common questions
Is a calculator wrong if it shows identical charts for twins?
Not necessarily. The same or rounded birth-time inputs can produce the same drawing. Check each recorded time and place before comparing charts.
