Do I need my birth time?

For the planets involved the birth date is often enough. For an exact result — especially with the fast-moving Moon — your precise time helps.

What if I do not have this aspect?

That is completely normal — nobody has every aspect. The calculator still shows how close you are, and you can check more aspects below.

How accurate is the calculation?

Accurate to the arc-second. We use the Swiss Ephemeris library on the NASA dataset — the same standard professional astrology software runs on.

Mercury
Sextile Mars

Sextile (60°): a friendly opportunity asking to be used. Ease, but only if you reach — the sextile knocks, it doesn’t open the door for you. It is the classic “why not now?” aspect, a line of talent lying ready that only comes alive once you pick it up. Here Mercury (how you think and speak) meets Mars (your drive and your anger). How it feels depends on how tight the aspect is: the smaller the orb, the more strongly it shapes you.

Your birth date is enough; adding your time makes the result more exact.
