What orb should I use for fixed stars?

Start with 1 degree. A 1.5-degree orb is a practical broader scan, while 2 degrees is best treated as exploratory and is more useful for very bright stars.

Which fixed-star contacts matter most?

Close conjunctions to the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, and personal planets are usually read first. Brightness, exactness, and repetition in the natal chart add context.

Do I need an exact birth time?

Exact birth time is required for reliable Ascendant and Midheaven contacts. Planetary conjunctions can still be calculated, although the Moon is less precise when birth time is unknown.

Fixed Stars Calculator

Scan major fixed stars against your natal planets and angles. Regu keeps the conjunction, exact orb, star data, and chart context together without turning the result into an unreadable wall of names.

What a fixed stars calculator should show

A useful result needs more than a list of star names. The natal target, both zodiac positions, exact orb, star brightness, constellation, and calculation method should remain visible so each contact can be checked.

Why Regu prioritizes conjunctions

Fixed-star work usually starts with close conjunctions, especially to the Sun, Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, and personal planets. Regu ranks those contacts first while keeping the broader catalog available for technical review.
