AstroLuma was born from a simple frustration: astrology tools give definitions. Never a reading. Never a sentence that takes the whole chart into account — and so, never a sentence that's true about one particular person.
I built it for myself first — I was already writing my loved ones' charts by hand, before AstroLuma existed. The child chart speaks to me as a mother: I wanted a tool that would truly help me understand my child — not just another app. I shared it with a few friends. They asked if they could buy it. — Camille
You order a reading, you receive it as a PDF within 72 hours, and it's yours. No account to create, no monthly charge, nothing that renews behind your back. What you pay for once, you keep forever.
A planet is never read alone. The Moon in Gemini doesn't say the same thing in the 2nd house as in the 8th; a Mars-Saturn square doesn't tell the same story depending on the rest of the chart. Every document reads the whole chart before writing a single sentence.
A reading that stays abstract is useless. Every chapter gets concrete: specific examples, sentences you can say word for word, and what to avoid. A document you reopen, not one you read once.
Interpreting a chart isn't just reading off what's in front of you. Every planet is interpreted in a sign, in a house, in its aspects to the other planets — and in the orb of each of those aspects. Four layers, held together at once, for each of ten planets.
The last one is the least known, and it's the one that changes everything. The orb is how far an aspect is from exact — the gap between the angle two planets actually make and the exact angle of the aspect. A Venus 0.01° from exact and a Venus 4° from exact on the same aspect occupy, on paper, the same position, in the same sign, in the same house. In reality, the intensity is completely different.
Venus opposite Uranus.
Orb: 0.11°.
A near-exact aspect. It becomes the backbone of the whole document — about 1,300 words to unfold its consequences.
Jupiter opposite Pluto.
Orb: 6.09°.
The same type of aspect — an opposition. But so wide it barely registers: one line, nothing more.
Both examples come from a real chart. The same geometric figure — an opposition, twice — and yet one carries the document while the other is a footnote. The chart wheel draws both aspects the same way. Nothing on paper says which one actually matters. Across a full reading, the pattern holds: aspects under 1° of orb receive, on average, 4.1 times more text than those beyond 3°.
There's another dimension: whether the aspect is applying or separating. A chart is fixed at the second of birth — but the sky itself was moving. Some aspects were still forming, others had just passed exact. The former feel like something building, still on its way; the latter like something already played out, still to be understood. On a single chart, Venus was still applying to Saturn while it had just separated from Uranus: the same planet, two very different experiences.
And the orb you allow isn't the same for every body: a conjunction with the Moon at 4° is a real aspect; the same conjunction with Chiron at 4° no longer is. So it isn't a single threshold to remember — it's a different threshold for every pair of bodies, recalculated each time. Holding all of it together — the sign, the house, the aspect, the exact orb, and the threshold specific to each body — for ten planets at once, goes beyond what a human reading can hold at once.
That doesn't make intuitive astrology any less true — I practice it myself, and it's an important part of the discipline: there are things you feel in the energy of a chart, and that can't be calculated. But the calculation itself can't be guessed either. That's what AI makes possible here: holding together everything a human can't weigh at once, so the intuitive part of the reading starts from an accurate base.
It's the one that started everything. The adult chart and synastry are available too — and the articles have always been free.
