Natal chart
Also called a birth chart: planets in signs and houses, the Ascendant — your rising sign — and the Midheaven, aspects and the configurations they form, and the balance of elements and modalities.
Where the numbers in your chart come from
Every chart here begins as arithmetic. Ephemra computes planetary positions with the Swiss Ephemeris — the same ephemeris professional astrology software runs on — for your date, your time and your city. Houses, aspects, dispositor chains: all of it follows from those numbers.
The readings are written text. They were prepared beforehand from the sources of each method and are selected to match what your chart actually shows. Nothing is composed on the fly while you wait.
Language models are genuinely useful, and there are good tools built on them. But a chart is arithmetic before it is interpretation — and when the arithmetic drifts, everything said afterwards is about somebody else.
Under the hood
- Planetary positions from the Swiss Ephemeris, including Chiron
- The true lunar node, not the mean one
- Placidus houses, falling back to whole-sign near the poles — and saying when it does
- Retrograde motion, dignities and aspect orbs computed for each chart
- Historical time zones, so a birth in 1962 is converted the way 1962 actually worked
Your natal chart and your Formula of the Soul
You enter a date, a time and a place once. Two different pictures come back — the familiar wheel, and a shape most people have never seen before.
Formula of the Soul
The method of A. A. Astrogor. Dispositor chains fold the same chart into a core and its orbits — which planets you live from, and which ones serve them.
How it works
-
Tell it when and where
Date, time and city. If you do not know the time, the chart is cast for noon and says so — you can fill it in later.
-
Get the free part
Both diagrams and a short reading of each, straight into the chat — no payment, no card details, every time. And your first full reading is a gift on top of that.
-
Open the full reading
The long text and two PDF documents. After the free one, a full reading costs 500 Telegram Stars — about $10.
Common questions about the charts
Is this AI-generated?
No. The positions are computed from the Swiss Ephemeris, and the readings are written text, prepared in advance from the sources of each method and matched to what your chart shows. No language model writes your reading, and none is called when you press the button.
What if I do not know my birth time?
You still get a reading. The chart is cast for noon and every image says so plainly. Without a time there is no Ascendant — no rising sign — and no houses; everything else holds. You can add the time later and the same chart is recalculated, and a reading you have already opened stays open.
What does it cost?
Both charts, both diagrams and a short reading of each are free, every time. The full reading — the long text and two PDF documents — is a gift the first time. After that it costs 500 Telegram Stars, about $10 depending on how you top them up. A one-to-one session with a professional reader usually costs many times more. There is no subscription.
Can I read a chart for someone else?
Yes, and that is most of what happens here — a partner, a parent, a friend who is never going to install anything themselves. You enter their details, you get the reading, and you can send it to them. It makes a good present and there is nothing furtive about it. The one place we draw a line is decisions about somebody's livelihood: screening job candidates on birth data is a different thing entirely, and we wrote about why.
What is the Formula of the Soul?
A method by A. A. Astrogor that reads a chart through its dispositor chains: which planet rules the sign another planet sits in, followed until the chains close. What comes out is a core and a set of orbits — a different picture from the familiar wheel, built from the same birth data. The long answer, with a worked example, is here.

It takes about a minute: a date, a time, a city. The first full reading is on the house.
