What AsterNym won’t tell you
Astrology is at its best as a mirror and at its worst as a verdict. These are the things we will not generate about you, in any product, at any price — not because we could not compute something and call it an answer, but because the answer would not be true and the cost of believing it is yours to carry.
How long you will live
No lifespan predictions, no death timing, no “longevity indicators”, and no chart pattern presented as an omen of mortality. Not in a reading, not as a fun fact, not with a disclaimer attached.
Why: It is unfalsifiable, and it lands hardest on whoever is least able to take it lightly. A young person shown a chart that “suggests a short life” has been handed something they cannot un-read, in exchange for nothing true.
Whether you are ill, and what to take for it
No diagnoses, no symptom readings, no supplements, diets or remedies derived from a birth chart, and no advice to delay or replace medical care.
Why: Health advice from a birth date is not medicine and cannot be. If something in your body worries you, the person who can help holds a licence, not an ephemeris.
Whether you will have children
No fertility readings, no pregnancy timing, no “children indicated in the fifth house”.
Why: This is among the most painful subjects a person can bring to a chart, and the one where a confident wrong answer does the most damage — in either direction.
Who to marry, and who to leave
Compatibility is offered as a lens for talking about a relationship, never as a verdict on one. We will not tell you that a chart means you should end things, and we will not tell you someone is unsafe or unfaithful.
Why: A match percentage is a conversation starter. Real decisions about real relationships deserve better evidence than a birth date, and the people inside them deserve better than an algorithm's opinion.
What someone else is really like
We do not generate character readings, hidden motives or warnings about a named third party — your mother, your ex, your manager — from their birth details. Our public-figure pages read charts, and say plainly that a chart is not a fact about a person.
Why: They never consented to being read, they cannot correct the record, and a reading dressed as insight can quietly become an accusation.
Anything about a child, sold to a stranger
Children's readings are built for the family that requested them, kept on the device, and stripped of the adult material entirely. We will not profile a child for anyone else.
Why: A child cannot consent to a permanent public interpretation of who they are.
What we do instead
Everything we calculate, we calculate honestly and show our working: real planetary positions from the same astronomy library that draws your birth sky, the house system named on every chart, the Chinese late-hour convention disclosed where it changes your pillars, and the arithmetic behind every number. Where a tradition disagrees with itself, we show you the argument rather than picking a side — as with the question of which house means which parent.
And where folklore has attached a threat to a harmless piece of geometry, we say so. A yod is not a death sentence. A difficult aspect is not a curse. Nothing in your chart is a diagnosis.
Think we have drawn a line in the wrong place, or seen us cross one? Tell us — this page is a commitment, and we would rather hear it than have it stand quietly broken.
