Birthday star map: the sky on the day they were born
Everyone has seen their birth certificate; almost no one has seen the sky they were born under. A birthday star map shows it as it really was, over their birthplace at the hour they arrived. A thoughtful gift for an 18th, a 40th or a 90th, or simply a birthday you want to get right.

Which sky to show
The night they were born
Their birthplace and birth date, and the time on their birth certificate if you know it.
This birthday
The sky over this year’s party, as a keepsake of the celebration.
A milestone year
Their 18th, their 50th: the night a new decade began.
Words that work
Their name and the number are hard to beat. Some ideas to try in the builder:
Personal, and ready the same day
You need their place and date of birth; the time is a bonus. Ask a parent, check a birth certificate, or choose Morning, Afternoon, Evening or Night for a typical hour.
The map arrives as a PDF within minutes, so it works even if the birthday is tomorrow. Print it, frame it, wrap it.

Questions
Is it the same as a birth chart or a horoscope?
No. It is an astronomical map: the real positions of the stars and constellations over that place at that moment, with no astrology.
What if they were born somewhere small?
Search for the nearest town, or pick the spot on the map. The sky barely changes over a few kilometres, so a nearby place shows the same stars.
