Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this traditional rather than modern?
We stick to the seven classical planets (Sun through Saturn), score every planet by its essential dignities, and use sect and whole sign houses. No Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto as primary rulers. No "your Saturn return is a growth opportunity" language. Every technique we use predates 1700 and traces to a named source.
What if I don't know my birth time?
We'll still calculate your planet positions, signs, and aspects. But houses, angles, lots, and timing techniques all need an accurate time, so we'll skip those and tell you what's missing. A partial reading that's honest beats a full reading that's guessing.
Do you offer counseling or spiritual guidance?
No. This is a calculation engine, not a therapist. We give you the astrological data and what the classical tradition says about it. For mental health, medical, or legal questions, please talk to an actual professional.
Is the reading really free?
Yes — the traditional reading is free and needs no account or email. It covers dignities, lots, sect, and timing context. The full 20+ page Complete Analysis — deeper synthesis, advanced timing, and a 10-year forecast — is an optional one-time purchase, emailed to you as a PDF.
How quickly will I get my report?
After you submit birth details, the site starts generating your reading in your browser. Most readings are available after a few minutes. Keep the tab open while it finishes.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your birth data is used to generate the chart and support diagnostics. Full details are on the privacy page.
How many reports can I generate?
As many as you want. There is no visitor cap on the free reading.
What is the Daily Navigator?
The Daily Navigator is a free tool that generates a personalized daily briefing based on your birth chart. It synthesizes profections, firdaria, zodiacal releasing, transits, and Moon condition (including Void of Course detection) into symbolic non-advice timing notes. You can explore any date — past, present, or future.
Can I use this for my Etsy astrology shop?
You can use individual generated readings as source material for client work, provided you add your own professional judgment and do not present generated text as a human-written reading. Bulk CSV and API plans are not currently part of the live customer offer.
Do I get actual PDFs I can send to clients?
Every free reading produces a formatted browser report you can print or save as a PDF — planet positions, dignities, sect analysis, Lot of Fortune, profections, and a timing overview. The optional Complete Analysis is emailed to you as a PDF.
Can I generate a batch of charts from a spreadsheet?
Not in the live public product right now. The customer-ready flow is one chart at a time: a free traditional reading, with an optional one-time Complete Analysis.
Is there an API?
Not as a public product right now. The public site is focused on the free traditional reading, with an optional one-time Complete Analysis.
What is annual profections?
A timing technique from Hellenistic astrology. Your Ascendant starts in the 1st house at birth and advances one house every birthday. Whichever house is active that year — its ruling planet becomes your Lord of the Year, the planet calling the shots for those 12 months. The cycle repeats every 12 years. Try the free calculator.
Why whole sign houses instead of Placidus?
In whole sign houses, each sign = one house. Your Ascendant's sign is the entire 1st house, the next sign is the 2nd, and so on. Placidus divides the sky by time, which creates unequal houses that get weird at high latitudes. Whole sign is what the Hellenistic astrologers used, it's what most traditional practitioners use today, and it keeps the house-rulership logic clean.
How many readings can I run per month?
As many as you want. There is no visitor cap on the free reading.
