The method
Seven disciplines, one reading.
Why cross the seven systems rather than stack them, and how the AI conducts that dialogue without turning the reading into a new-age mashup.
The thesis
A single esoteric discipline always produces a partial reading. Astrology maps the sky but ignores the body. Palmistry reads the hand but knows nothing of cycles. Iridology observes the iris but says nothing of relational dynamics. Each is a different optical instrument. Stacked, they cancel out. Crossed with rigour, they converge — or usefully contradict each other.
How the AI works
The esoteric calculations (birth chart, numerology, Human Design, BaZi) are deterministic: produced by verifiable engines, not a language model. The bodily readings (palmistry, iridology) are analysed from your own text description — hands and eyes. By default, no photo is requested or sent. You may optionally add a photo to pre-fill that description: it is then analysed once, used only to generate the text, and immediately deleted — never stored, and never passed as-is to the esoteric analysis itself, which stays strictly text-based. The synthesis searches for points where several disciplines point at the same thing — and for tensions worth naming.
What the method is not
The portrait is not a medical, financial or legal diagnosis. Iridology, Human Design and BaZi have no recognised scientific basis — they are used here as symbolic grids, never as a health or predictive tool. The method produces structured, argued self-reflection. It decides nothing for you.
The seven disciplines in detail
- Birth chart computed via astronomy-engine
- Birth chart computed via astronomy-engine — exact planetary positions, ascendant and aspects at the moment of birth. No approximations.
- Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology
- Pythagorean and Chaldean numerology — life path, expression, intimate vibration. Deterministic computation on date and full name.
- Human Design
- Human Design — bodygraph computed from two planetary snapshots: your birth, and the moment the Sun was 88° of arc earlier. Type, authority and profile are deterministic, not interpreted.
- BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny)
- BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) — traditional Chinese calendar. Year/month/day/hour pillars and the day master element, computed from your local birth date and time.
- Tarot
- Tarot — a symbolic draw woven into the cross-read portrait, also available on its own as a daily draw. Cards are read in light of the six other disciplines.
- Classical Western palmistry
- Classical Western palmistry — mounts, principal lines, finger shape, from your own description.
- Iridology after Ignaz von Péczely, revisited. Symbolic reading of iris structures: colour, rings, particulars. No medical diagnosis.
- Iridology after Ignaz von Péczely, revisited. Symbolic reading of iris structures: colour, rings, particulars. No medical diagnosis.
Graphology is part of our catalogue of traditions and remains under study as a future 8th discipline — documented, but not yet part of the portrait.
