Cast your own birth chart

Brian Schmidt is alive, so there is one chart here rather than two. The death chart is cast for a documented moment of death and there is nothing to cast one for, which is the point: this site does not estimate either end.

Cast for noon, as the birth time is unknown, so the longitudes are approximate.
