Everything you need to know about AstroSynthesis
AstroSynthesis uses the Western (Tropical) astrological system combined with the Placidus house system. We calculate planetary positions based on the tropical zodiac, which aligns with the seasons rather than the constellations. Our interpretations draw from traditional astrological wisdom while incorporating modern psychological insights to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your birth chart.
An astrological birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and location of your birth. It maps the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and other celestial bodies across the twelve houses and zodiac signs. This unique celestial blueprint reveals insights about your personality, emotional patterns, natural talents, relationship styles, and potential life path. Each element of your chart—from your Sun sign to your rising sign to planetary aspects—contributes to the full picture of who you are.
Astrology is not a science in the conventional sense—it doesn't follow the scientific method or make empirically testable predictions. Instead, astrology is better understood as a symbolic language and interpretive framework that has been refined over thousands of years. While the astronomical calculations we use to determine planetary positions are precise and scientific, the interpretations we provide are based on astrological tradition, archetypal psychology, and symbolic correspondence. Many people find value in astrology as a tool for self-reflection, personal growth, and understanding life patterns, much like they might find value in personality assessments, meditation, or other introspective practices.
Your exact birth date, time, and location are essential for calculating an accurate birth chart. The birth date determines where the planets were positioned along the zodiac. The birth time is crucial for calculating your rising sign (Ascendant) and the twelve houses, which can shift significantly even within a few minutes. Your birth location is needed to determine the local horizon and calculate the precise angles of the houses relative to where you were born. Without these three pieces of information, we cannot create an accurate, personalized birth chart.
We need your current location to calculate accurate astrological transits and predictions for you right now. Your birth chart shows where the planets were when you were born, but to provide personalized guidance like "Best Days This Month" and "Days to Be Careful," we need to know where you are currently located. This is because the planets' positions in the sky vary based on your geographic location, and the houses they occupy change depending on where you're viewing them from. Your current location allows us to generate transit predictions that are specific to your actual location today, making the guidance more accurate and relevant to your life.
