Questions
About Astranema
What is Astranema?
Enter when and where you were born. We draw your birth chart, then five astrology traditions from Greece, India and China each write about you separately, and we show you where they agree.
How is this different from horoscope apps?
Most apps give you one tradition and a daily message for everyone with your sign. We give you five traditions reading your exact chart, and a reading about who you are that doesn't change day to day.
How are the readings written?
They are written by AI from the exact facts of your chart, then checked automatically. If a reading names a planet or sign your chart doesn't have, we discard it and write it again. We never show a reading that hasn't passed that check.
How can I contact you?
Use the contact form or email hello@astranema.com. We usually reply within a day or two.
Your chart
What if I don't know my birth time?
Check your birth certificate or hospital records, or ask a parent. Without the exact time, your rising sign and houses can be wrong, and so can the reading.

How accurate is it?
Planets and houses are calculated from real astronomical data for your exact birth minute and city, including historical time zone and daylight-saving changes back to 1900.

What are my sun, moon and rising signs?
Your sun sign is the one most people know. Your moon describes your emotional needs, and your rising sign is how you come across at first. Your chart shows all three.

Why are my Vedic signs different from my usual ones?
Indian astrology measures the zodiac against the fixed stars, while Western astrology uses the seasons. The two are now about 24° apart, so many people's signs move back by one. Both are correct in their own system.

Why do my houses differ from another site?
Sites split the sky into houses in different ways. We use Placidus for Western charts and whole-sign houses for Vedic and for births far north.

Can I make a chart for someone else?
Yes, if you have their birth details and they're happy for you to use them. Charts are always free; free readings cover three new charts a day.
Astrology and the five traditions
Why five traditions?
Each grew up separately and notices different things. When several say the same thing about you, that's a pattern worth paying attention to.

What is System Alignment?
It reads your five finished readings side by side and shows, on twelve simple scales, where the traditions agree about you and where they disagree.

Does astrology predict my future?
We don't think so, and our readings never try. They describe tendencies and give you language to reflect with. Your choices stay yours.

Will it tell me what job to do?
No. A reading may name two or three kinds of work that could suit you, as ideas to explore. Never one prescribed career.
Paying and your book
Is it free?
Your chart and the opening of every reading are free, with no sign-up. One payment of $19 unlocks everything for that chart. No subscription.
What do I get for $19?
All five full readings, System Alignment, and a printable book of all of it, emailed to you as a PDF. Usually ready within a few minutes.
