What is a 'the day you were born?
A map of stars is a very detailed depiction of what the night sky looked like on a specific date of your choice. It’s like looking up into the night sky on that special date, seeing the sky exactly as it was and reliving that moment in time.
Some believe that the positioning of stars and other celestial bodies influences life here on Earth. On momentous occasions, such as a birth of a child, the stars, planets, and the heavens are believed to be in perfect harmony. It’s a moment worth capturing forever, as it’s these special events that help to define our course through life.
Regardless of how you feel about the sky’s impact on life on Earth, custom star map posters are meant to mark your most special moments in life. They’re beautiful and artistic and are made for displaying in your home. What’s more, they make excellent gifts to share with family members, your spouse, your children, or other loved ones whose lives you wish to celebrate.
Are our 'the night you were born star map' accurate?
Our interactive star map editor isn’t just for show. It’s actually powered by sophisticated technology using data from the Hipparcos for the most accurate recreation of the night sky. Hipparcos was the first satellite space project that focused on astrometry, which is the measurement of how celestial bodies are positioned in the sky. It has collected data across more than 118,000 stars in the sky, allowing us to make highly detailed star maps for our customers.
When you order a map of stars poster from Positive Prints, it’s the next best thing to traveling back in time to gaze upon the night sky on the night of the birth of a child.
How can I customise a 'the day you were born'?
You don’t have to know astronomy or astrology to create a map of stars on the day you were born, nor do you have to do extensive research to find out what the night sky looked like on the day the child is born. At Positive Prints, we’ve taken all the guesswork out of the equation so that artistic beauty can thrive.
Our user-friendly, intuitive Star Editor guides you through three easy steps to create a map of stars. Using our creator tool, you step into the role of the designer.

Choose to include constellations, constellation names, the Milky Way, planets, and/or planet names if you wish. You can control the level of detail on the map to get the exact image you want.
Select the location of the moment you wish to capture with a sky chart, along with the date and time for the most accurate representation. Add lines of text to offer a sentimental message to a little one or to caption your moment in time.
Once you’ve finished customising 'the night you were born star map', you can select how to receive it.

Turn the Sky from Their First Day Into Personalised Art
This birth star map gives the sky from the first day of someone's life a clear place in your home. The Day You Were Born is personalised star map art based on a loved one's birth date, time, and place, built from the details you choose rather than a ready-made story.
Add the birth details, choose the celestial features, and include their name and a message. The result connects a family memory with the sky that surrounded the beginning without making the idea feel complicated.
How This Birth Star Map Tells the Story
At its simplest, it is a personal view of the sky connected to one person's arrival. Astronomical data recreates the sky for the entered birth details, giving the artwork a real moment as its foundation.
That practical foundation is what makes the emotion believable. It connects a family memory with the sky that surrounded the beginning and helps a new visitor understand the product straight away.
From Your Details to a True-to-the-Moment Birth Star Map
Add the birth details, choose the celestial features, and include their name and a message. Behind the finished design, astronomical data recreates the sky for the entered birth details, giving the artwork a real moment as its foundation.
The details keep the artwork connected to a real moment, while your wording explains why that moment belongs on the wall.
Personalise Your Birth Star Map With the Details That Matter
Start with the birth date, time, and place, then add only the details that belong to the story. Add the birth details, choose the celestial features, and include their name and a message.
- The child's or loved one's name
- The birth date, time, and place
- A family message and chosen sky details
The live preview lets you check the birth details, wording, and sky before finishing the design. You can see the effect as you go and adjust anything that feels off.
Who This Birth Star Map Is Made For
It suits new parents, grandparents, godparents, and families celebrating someone special, especially when a standard present would miss the point. Think newborn welcomes, christenings, first birthdays, later birthdays, and family milestones.
It works as a nursery keepsake when a child is small and still explains their story clearly as they grow. It is personal because the memory comes first and the decoration supports it.
Keep the Sky from Their First Day in Everyday View
Bring their name, their first place, and the sky from their beginning into one family keepsake. It is an easy way to keep the sky from the first day of someone's life in view without over-explaining it.
Start with the birth date, time, and place, check everything in the live preview, and keep the final wording natural to the people involved.
