Does your Sun AC line reach Ubud?

Three things, and the reading is yours. No account, no email, nothing kept.

Ubud — the place being readUbud
Still empty. Give it a day, an hour, and a town, and your lines are drawn here.

Starts at your own time zone. Change it to the one where you were born.

The town itself — choose it from the list so the place is the one you mean.

How sure are you of the hour?

From a birth certificate or a hospital record — the lines can be placed exactly.

Read here on your own device — your birth date and time never leave it. Place names you type are matched against the 5,000 towns already in the page, and only looked up by Open-Meteo when they are not among them.

How a Ascendant line behaves at Ubud’s latitude

A rising line is a horizon curve, and how steeply it runs depends on latitude. At Ubud's 8.51°S every one of the ten bodies rises and sets, so all forty lines can reach here — nothing is ruled out by geometry, only by your own chart. The curve passes through this latitude at a slant rather than straight down a meridian, which is why a rising line and an overhead line falling the same distance away can feel quite different on the ground.

Where Ubud sits

Ubud is at 8.51°S, 115.3°E in Indonesiaclose enough to the equator that day and night barely change length across the year, and every planet rises and sets almost vertically. At the summer solstice it gets about 11 hours 30 minutes of daylight and at the winter solstice about 12 hours 30 minutes, which is the same horizon geometry a rising line is drawn from.

How close it would have to run

Distances here are measured as real ground: one degree of orb is 111 km, the same width everywhere on earth. Ubud sits close enough to the equator that a degree of longitude is also about 110 km, so our figures and those of older software that measures overhead lines in longitude will agree closely.

Places this line would reach alongside Ubud

A line does not stop at a city limit. These sit within a single degree of orb of Ubud, close enough that one reaching Ubud very probably reaches them too:

What Sun does to a line

The ten bodies are not interchangeable. How fast one moves decides how personal its line is — and that changes how much weight this page deserves.

Speed, and what it means for you

Sun takes one year to return to the same place against the stars, and its lines shift by roughly a degree — about 111 km on the ground — every about four minutes of birth time.

💡 A line that is genuinely yours

This is one of the most personal lines in your chart. The body moves fast enough that a sibling born the same day has it somewhere quite different, so where it falls is genuinely yours rather than your generation’s.

How its lines sit on the map

The Sun never strays from the ecliptic, so it stays within 23.4° of the celestial equator and its lines reach every inhabited latitude. It moves about a degree a day against the stars, but its lines shift with the earth’s rotation — four minutes of birth time moves them roughly a hundred kilometres, the same as everything else.

What this line is good for

The same line serves some intentions and works against others. This is computed from the archetype rather than chosen page by page, so it agrees with how the app ranks cities.

Questions about Sun AC in Ubud

What does a Sun AC line mean in Ubud?

The Sun on the Ascendant emphasises personal presence — how you come across before you have said anything. In Ubud that meets the local pace and cost of living — the line itself does not change, but how loudly you feel it does.

How long is it worth staying in Ubud on a Sun AC line?

Around 6 months is a gentle ceiling. Deliberately co-own one project so the solo default does not harden.

Does my Sun AC line actually reach Ubud?

Only your own sky can answer that. Enter your birth details on this page and we will measure the real distance from Ubud to your Sun AC line, in kilometres and in orb degrees.

Can a Sun AC line exist at Ubud's latitude at all?

Yes. At 8.51°S a body needs to sit within 81.5° of the celestial equator to rise and set, and Sun always does. So the line can reach this latitude — whether yours does is a question about your birth moment.

Is a Sun AC line personal, or does everyone my age have it?

This is one of the most personal lines in your chart. The body moves fast enough that a sibling born the same day has it somewhere quite different, so where it falls is genuinely yours rather than your generation’s. Sun takes one year to go round, and its lines shift about a degree — some 111 km — every about four minutes of birth time.

Which places near Ubud would this line also reach?

Denpasar sits within a degree of orb of Ubud, so a line close to one is very likely close to the others. Worth reading them together.
