Your birth chart as a psychological portrait
AstralRead builds your natal chart from the date, time and place of birth and turns it into a readable psychological portrait. Planets, houses and angles are calculated from precise astronomical ephemerides, and every calculation is cross-checked against NASA JPL data — they agree to within a fraction of an arcsecond. You can view the chart in three systems: Koch, Placidus and Vedic (sidereal).
The reading starts with the Ascendant and Midheaven, then the Sun, Moon, personal planets and the tightest aspects. It is not a sun-sign horoscope: every point is tied to a specific placement in your chart, and you can always see where it comes from.
What the readings are based on
Interpretations draw on a library of 100+ books on astrology and psychology — from classic astrology textbooks to the work of Jung, Bowlby, Frankl and Yalom. The AI retrieves the passages about your exact placements and weaves them into one coherent text. The full list of authors is on the sources page.
What you can do
Ask the astrologer or the psychologist about your chart; check today's transits — how the current sky touches your planets; compare two charts in synastry for partners, friends, parents and children or colleagues; calculate your solar return — the chart of your year from birthday to birthday.
Free: the natal chart with its reading, daily transits, all three calculation systems and your first questions in the chat. Paid plans add more questions, charts and synastries.
The sky of the day and the astrology calendar
Every day AstralRead publishes «The sky of the day»: which sign the Moon is in and when it is void of course, which planetary aspects are exact, which planet changes sign or stations. The archive runs by day and by month, and every day has its own page.
The calendar lists the year's events with exact times: the retrograde periods of Mercury, Venus, Mars and the outer planets, sign changes (ingresses), new moons, full moons and eclipses of 2026, and void-of-course Moon periods. The times are calculated from the ephemeris, not copied from other tables.
Relationships and compatibility
Synastry compares two birth charts: which of one person's planets touch the other's, and what that means for a couple, a friendship, a parent and child or colleagues. The synastry guide explains every planetary aspect between two charts — conjunctions, trines, squares and oppositions — without «compatible / not compatible» verdicts.
The birth chart reference
The reference explains each part of a chart on its own: the twelve zodiac signs, planets in signs and houses, the Ascendant and Midheaven, aspects between planets, the lunar nodes, Chiron, Lilith and the asteroids, and planetary transits through houses and to natal planets. Every article names the books it draws on.
AstralRead in ChatGPT and Claude
AstralRead connects to ChatGPT and Claude as an app: the assistant calculates the natal chart, today's transits, the sky of the day, the Vedic chart and dasha periods itself, and links to the reference articles. No account needed; birth data is not stored.
Gentle, never a verdict
Astrology here is a way to understand yourself better, not to predict fate. Readings speak about tendencies and strengths rather than inevitable events, and they do not replace a doctor, therapist or lawyer.
