Okay...
okay... please remain calm. First off, we're talking about getting a
free online calculation of the birth chart - and not necessarily free
interpretations of your birth chart...
And
hey, gimme a break! Prior to the explosion of the Internet, you would
have been shelling out anywhere from 5 to 10 bucks just for the calculation
of your birth chart (or going without)!
It's
vitally important you know that not all online chart calculation tools
out there are created equal. Many are now going to be quite accurate
and easy to use, but some are still not accurate and/or easy to use.
So
here are two of the cream of the crop chart calculators that you can
rely on for accuracy:
Astrolabe
Astrolabe – maker and/or distributor of professional astrological
calculation software – graciously provides visitors with the
simplest, incredibly difficult to mess up, online birth chart calculator
tool currently available. As part of the calculation, it does include
a few simplistic chart interpretations.
Astrodienst
Astrodienst has developed a simple, mistake-free option for calculating
charts. Better yet, there are several different (and free) chart interpretation
report options available at Astrodienst. The bottom line is that the
Astrodienst simple chart online tool is so "user friendly,"
you have to work at it to make a mistake.

Tips:
-
To
minimize potential human error in chart calculation, get your
birth chart calculated at both of these
recommended sites. If no mistake has been made (by you), then
the various sign and degrees positions of the planets and points
should be very similar.
-
Know
that to receive a full and accurate calculation of your birth
chart, you will need to know the exact time of your birth (look
for your birth certificate).

Finally,
both Astrolabe and Astrodienst use the Placidus House system as
their default House system. I recently find out some folks were
being clever and attempting to double check by comparing the chart
calculations of my paid chart reports with the calculations of
these sites. By default I use the Koch House system, so just be
aware that the exact house placements will likely vary depending
upon which of a dozen house systems is used in the calculation.
