What our meanings are based on

Our descriptions of signs, planets, houses, aspects and numbers follow the traditions of modern Western astrology and Pythagorean numerology: the elements and modalities, the traditional rulerships, and the widely shared meanings found in standard astrology references. Where astrologers genuinely disagree, we say so rather than pick a side.

How we write

• Plain words and short sentences. Technical terms are explained when they first appear.
• Descriptions, not verdicts. We describe tendencies and themes for reflection; we do not tell you who you are or what will happen to you.
• Balanced. Every sign and placement has strengths and challenges, and we describe both.

What we will never do

• Make predictions about health, death, pregnancy, money or legal outcomes.
• Use fear to sell. No warnings that something bad will happen unless you buy.
• Invent facts about real people, studies or statistics.

How we use AI

We use AI writing tools to help draft and check our pages. Every page is reviewed and edited by our team before it is published, and the astronomical calculations are done by our own code, not by AI.
