Methodology

How we calculate. The positions of the Sun, the Moon and eight planets are calculated from astronomical ephemerides (the astronomy-engine library) for the exact moment and place of birth, accounting for historical time zones. The Ascendant and Midheaven are derived from local sidereal time; houses follow the equal house system.

What it gives you. Astrology sees in the sky at the moment of birth a map of character and destiny. We combine precise astronomical calculation with the centuries-old tradition of reading signs, houses and aspects.

How we calculate. The 78-card deck is shuffled on the server by a cryptographically secure random number generator. About a third of the cards come up reversed. The AI cannot change the cards that were drawn.

What it gives you. For seven centuries tarot cards have served as a language in which fate answers our questions. Each card carries its own image, and the spread shows how these forces come together in your situation.

How we calculate. The model looks at a photo of your palm: its shape, the length of the fingers, and the heart, head, life and fate lines. If the photo isn't usable, it tells you so plainly.

What it gives you. The pattern of the palm forms before birth and stays with a person for life. For centuries palmistry has read in it innate inclinations, character and the major turns of one's path.

How we calculate. Your voice is turned into text, then the model separates the scientific view (how sleep processes emotions and memory) from the symbols of traditional dream books.

What it gives you. In sleep the brain works through what you have lived and brings what matters to the surface. The dream-book tradition offers a key to the images, and we bring both views together.

How we calculate. The 20-item Mini-IPIP questionnaire (Donnellan et al., 2006) from the open IPIP item pool. Scores are converted into percentages across five traits.

What it gives you. The most studied personality model in psychology: it shows your strengths and how you act at work, in relationships and under pressure.

How we calculate. A short questionnaire based on the rMEQ (Adan and Almirall, 1991): when you wake up, when your energy peaks, when evening tiredness sets in.

What it gives you. Your chronotype is largely set by your genes. It tells you when you are at your peak: the best time for decisions, exercise and socializing.

How we calculate. The Pythagorean system: the life path number from your birth date, the destiny and soul numbers from the letters of your name (Cyrillic and Latin), and your personal year.

What it gives you. The Pythagorean tradition sees in the numbers of your birth date and name a code of character and the rhythm of life's cycles. Your personal year shows the theme of the months ahead.

How we calculate. The hexagram is cast with the three-coin method, changing lines included; runes are drawn from the 24 signs of the Elder Futhark.

What it gives you. For three thousand years the Book of Changes has counseled people facing important decisions, and for centuries the peoples of the North used runes to foretell what was coming. Both give a clear answer to a specific question.

How we calculate. The model describes the shapes actually visible in the photo of your cup and their traditional meanings.

What it gives you. The tradition comes from the Ottoman Empire: the shapes on the sides and bottom of the cup are read as images of the weeks ahead, from meetings to changes in your affairs.
