Who is William Lilly?
William Lilly was a 17th-century English astrologer who was famous for his accurate predictions and his influential book Christian Astrology. He was also involved in the political and religious turmoil of the English Civil War, and was consulted by both the King and Parliament.

Some of his notable predictions include:

Can you read a birth chart?
Yes, I can read an astrological chart, but I need some information from you first. An astrological chart is a diagram that shows the positions of the planets, the signs of the zodiac, and the houses at a specific time and place. To read an astrological chart, I need to know the date, time, and location of your birth, or the event you want to analyze. This will allow me to calculate the chart and interpret its meaning for you. Do you have this information? If so, please enter it in the format: DD/MM/YYYY, HH:MM, City, Country. For example: 01/01/2000, 12:00, London, UK.
