FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What makes this traditional rather than modern?
We adhere to the septenary planets, essential dignity scoring, sect doctrine, and classical house logic. We do not use modern outer planets as primary rulers, psychological framing, or vague affirmations. Our sources are cited and traceable.
What if I do not know my birth time?
If your birth time is unknown, we will generate a limited judgment based on planets in signs and aspects. We will omit houses, angles, lots, and timing techniques that require an accurate time. This limitation is clearly stated in the report.
Do you offer counseling or spiritual guidance?
No. We provide astrological judgments using traditional technique. We do not provide mental health counseling, spiritual coaching, or replacement for professional advice.
Why is paid access required?
Full dossiers require intensive calculation and archival storage. Paid access funds the ongoing research, source maintenance, and computation needed to keep the system rigorous. The preliminary judgment is available to verify fit before purchase.
How quickly will I receive my report?
Reports are generated instantly after submission. Paid access unlocks the full dossier immediately upon confirmed payment.
Is my data private?
Yes. Birth data is used only to generate your report. Payment is processed securely by Stripe, and we do not store card details.
What is the refund policy?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for paid access if the report does not meet the stated methodological standard.
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 one actionable forecast. You can explore any date — past, present, or future.
Can I use AstroForge to create natal chart readings for my Etsy clients?
Yes. AstroForge is designed for Etsy sellers and independent practitioners who deliver astrology readings at volume. Upload a CSV of client birth data and download a ZIP of ready-to-send PDF reports — each one professionally formatted and ready to deliver. See the Etsy seller guide for details.
Does AstroForge generate PDF reports I can send to clients?
Yes. Every paid reading generates a professionally formatted PDF covering planetary positions, essential dignities, sect, Lot of Fortune, annual profections, and a 10-year timing forecast. PDFs are downloadable immediately after generation and ready to attach to your Etsy order messages.
Can I upload a CSV and generate multiple birth chart PDFs at once?
Yes — the Batch PDF Tool is available on the Practitioner plan ($29/mo). Upload a CSV with columns for client name, birth date, time, and city. AstroForge generates one PDF per client and packages everything into a single ZIP download.
Is there an API for astrology calculations?
Yes. The Practitioner plan includes API access with 100 calls per day. The API returns the same traditional calculations used in our PDFs — planetary positions, essential dignities, sect, lots, profections, and timing data — in structured JSON.
What is annual profections and how does it work?
Annual profections is a Hellenistic timing technique. At birth your Ascendant is in the 1st house; each birthday it advances one house. The ruling planet of that house becomes your Lord of the Year — the most important planet for the coming 12 months. At age 12 you return to the 1st house and the cycle repeats. Try the free profections calculator.
What is the difference between whole sign houses and Placidus?
Whole sign houses assign the entire zodiac sign to a house — your Ascendant sign becomes the whole 1st house, the next sign the 2nd, and so on. Placidus divides the sky by time into unequal segments. Traditional astrology uses whole sign houses because they produce clear, consistent house-rulership logic and work at all latitudes, including far northern births where Placidus produces distorted houses.
How many readings can I generate per month?
Free accounts get 3 readings with no sign-up required. Scholar ($9.99/mo) includes unlimited individual readings with PDF export and saved charts. Practitioner ($29/mo) adds the bulk CSV-to-PDF tool, API access (100 calls/day), and client labels — ideal for Etsy sellers generating readings at volume.
