How it works

How we make your report

Stars Decoded works out your birth chart from where the planets really were. It notes what stands out. It writes your report from those notes. Then it checks every claim against your chart before you see it.

  1. We work out your chart

    We find where the Sun, Moon and planets were at the minute and place you were born. Stars Decoded uses astronomy-engine, an open-source astronomy library. It is accurate to within one arcminute, a sixtieth of a degree. It is tested against NASA's JPL Horizons. Chiron, which astronomy-engine doesn't cover, comes from NASA JPL Horizons positions. Every chart is worked out by the same code.

    We also check past clock changes in your birth town, so summer time and old time zones are right. Your houses are whole-sign houses. The zodiac is tropical. What whole-sign houses are

  2. We note what stands out

    Before anything is written, we note what stands out in your chart, such as a day or night birth and your strongest planets. The notes also say which houses hold the most planets and which planet rules each part of your life.

    These notes decide what each chapter is about. Your report comes from your chart, not a template.

    What stands out in her chart
    • Born at night · Sun 16.6° below the horizon
    • Strongest planets · Sun, Jupiter and Neptune
    • Cardinal 5 · Fixed 3 · Mutable 2
  3. We write your report

    We write each of the ten chapters from those notes, following our own rules for reading a chart. Every sentence has to be about you and in plain words. Every claim has to point to the part of your chart it comes from.

    It won't forecast events, put dates on your life or diagnose anything. It describes how you tend to think, work and love, and gives you things to try.

    Ten chapters
    1. Chart Overview
    2. House by House
    3. Mind & Communication
    4. Career & Calling
    5. Money & Resources
    6. Relationships & Intimacy
    7. Family & Roots
    8. Strengths, Habits & Where You Can Grow
    9. Key Paradoxes & Discoveries
    10. Closing
  4. We check every claim

    We check every claim in your report against your chart, using code. If one doesn't match, we rewrite that sentence or take it out before you see it.

    If a chapter still fails the check, we tell you what went wrong. Try again is free. If we still can't write your report, its credit comes back to your balance. For a Compatibility report, the credit comes back at once.

    You carry yourself like someone who can handle a lot alone, and you may disappear to recover instead of asking for help.

    The 1st (you, your body and the way you go about things) answers to Saturn, which sits in Capricorn in the 12th (solitude), at home, working with ease.

    Structure, limit, and what lasts. Capricorn disciplined, ambitious, plays long. The 12th (rest, time alone, what goes on out of sight).
