That can indeed happen. The constellations shown at the centre of the poster may be different from your child’s astrological zodiac sign. Our posters show how the stars really looked at a specific moment and in a specific place. The Earth rotates on its axis and around the sun, so the sky is always changing. If two people look up at the same moment in Cape Town and Amsterdam, they will see different skies. An astrological sign, however, is the same for everyone born between roughly the 21st of one month and the 21st of the next. So it may simply be that the astrological sign was not visible in the sky at birth.

When you order a starry sky from us, our system checks whether these details have been entered before. The check is based on the combination of place of birth, date of birth and time of birth. If these details have already been used, you will see an “oops” message. If you see this message, contact us at hi@mrstarsky.com or through our chat, and we will check whether this poster has really been ordered before.

Our current frames are made from solid oak. The previous collection was made from a different type of wood with a slightly different look. If you want to hang frames next to each other, a difference in colour and structure may be visible. You can order a new frame separately if you would like them to match.
