The ascendant changes every two hours, so it cannot be fixed without one. But the Moon nakshatra needs only the date — if you are unsure of your rising sign, start from the nakshatra page.
Where do the 324 combinations come from?
Twelve rising signs times twenty-seven nakshatras. Each one is written separately — not two descriptions stitched together.
