Every reading is calculated from real astronomical data. Its meanings come from the written tradition, never from invention. These are the works our library holds and the works our own documents draw on. We credit them here; we do not reproduce or sell them.

Our own documents
Cosmic Birth Map writes its own documents for what the old books could not know: the outer planets, the planetary cycles, the chart shapes and aspect figures, and the modern meanings of the houses, the angles and the planets. They are written from the works above; no author's text is reproduced in them.
Our readings draw on classical astrology, the English esoteric revival, Astrocábala and modern astrology. The interpretation of your chart is our own.
