Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Astrobility
General
What is Astrobility?
Astrobility is an integrated cosmic intelligence platform that combines four ancient wisdom systems — Western tropical astrology, Vedic sidereal Jyotish, Chinese BaZi Four Pillars, and Pythagorean numerology — into unified readings through a proprietary methodology called The Fifth Pillar. We use Swiss Ephemeris (NASA-grade astronomical calculations) and AI-powered synthesis to create structured, actionable insights.
What makes Astrobility different from other astrology apps?
Most apps offer only Western astrology. Astrobility synthesizes FOUR systems simultaneously. Western sees psychology. Vedic sees karma. Chinese sees elements. Numerology sees mathematics. No system has monopoly on truth. The Fifth Pillar finds where they converge, where they add nuance, and where they create productive tension — producing structured readings with numbered strengths, cross-system citations, and practical recommendations no single system can deliver.
Why "The Fifth Pillar"?
Four ancient systems are the four pillars. The fifth is what emerges from their synthesis — integrated understanding that no single system can reveal alone. It's not averaging. It's convergence: when independent traditions agree about who you are, that agreement carries weight.
Free Products
What can I use for free?
Two products require no payment: the Daily Reading (today's cosmic weather against your natal chart, updated daily) and the Free Cosmic Profile (a 3-4 paragraph Fifth Pillar synthesis of your natal chart). No account required.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is needed for free products. For the paid complete, you purchase through Stripe — no Astrobility account is created. Your birth data is calculated and returned, never stored. Privacy-first architecture.

Accuracy & Calculations
How accurate are the astronomical calculations?
We use Swiss Ephemeris — the same engine used by professional astrologers and astronomical software worldwide. Calculations are accurate to arc-second precision. Vedic calculations use the Lahiri ayanamsa (the Indian government standard). Chinese BaZi uses traditional heavenly stem and earthly branch mappings.
What information do I need?
Birth date, birth time (as exact as possible — check your birth certificate), and birth location (city and country). Birth time affects Rising sign and house placements. Without it, we can still calculate most placements but with reduced precision.
How does the AI synthesis work?
After Swiss Ephemeris calculates your positions across all four systems, Google AI synthesizes the cross-system insights into structured output. The AI is prompted with your specific placements and instructed to find convergence, complementarity, and complexity across systems — producing numbered strengths with citations showing which systems agree.
Privacy
Do you store my birth data?
No. Astrobility uses stateless architecture. Your birth data is sent to the calculation engine, processed, and the reading is returned to your browser via session storage. Nothing is saved to any database. When you close the tab, the data is gone.
Why privacy-first?
Birth data is sensitive personal information. We believe you should be able to explore cosmic intelligence without surrendering your data to a database. The stateless approach also means we have no GDPR compliance burden — because we have no data to comply about.
