What a chart is
A birth chart is a map of where the Sun, Moon and planets were at one moment, seen from one place. The positions are computed, and you can check them against any other ephemeris. That part is astronomy, and it is either right or wrong.
Astrology adds readings on top: what a position is taken to mean. Those readings come from traditions with their own rules, and the traditions disagree with one another. Genastro names the tradition behind every reading and never presents one as a plain fact about you.
What a chart is not
A chart is not a prediction. Nothing on this site says what will happen to you, and there are no daily horoscopes.
It is not a diagnosis of your character, your health or your mind. It is not a substitute for advice from a doctor, a lawyer, a financial adviser or a therapist, and no reading here should change a decision of that kind.
It is not a verdict on a relationship. Two people with "compatible" signs are not bound to get along, and two with "hard" aspects are not bound to fail.
How to use it
Treat a reading as a prompt for reflection, and keep what fits and drop what does not. A generic reading is the same for everyone who shares a placement, so it cannot know you.
Treat a frequency as a count, not as significance. Rare does not mean meaningful, and common does not mean ordinary. It says how often a placement occurs among simulated births.
What Genastro commits to
- Every position is computed by a real ephemeris, and the method is stated.
- Every number says what it is a share of.
- Every reading names its tradition, and where traditions disagree, both are shown.
- No reading predicts, diagnoses or advises.
