How the match works

Your birth date. Add the time and city if you know them: the result gets more precise, but the date alone is enough.
Your natal chart. NEBO works out where the Sun, the Moon and the planets were when you were born, plus your Ascendant if the time is known.
Your profile. The chart gives your balance of elements (fire, earth, air, water), your modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable) and your Sun, Moon and Ascendant signs.
Your match. Every character has a profile too. You see your similarity with each of them in % and who is closest to you. It takes a minute and it’s free.
