Few fields have a worse reputation than astrology — and for good reason. Too many horoscopes are written from memory: the same text for one-twelfth of humanity, without a single real piece of sky data. At Natale we do the opposite — and we've now put it in writing, on a new page: How We Work.

The calculation is real

Every chart you create is calculated from astronomical ephemerides — the same planetary position tables used by astronomers. The gold standard of that calculation is Swiss Ephemeris, a database built on data from NASA's JPL laboratory. That means the Sun, Moon, rising sign, houses, and aspects in your chart are an astronomical fact, not an estimate.

The interpretation is yours

An accurate calculation is only half the story. The other half — the interpretation — doesn't come from a drawer full of ready-made texts. It is generated for each chart individually, from the actual layout of your sky. That's why two people born on the same day but at different times receive different interpretations from us: their charts are different.

With us, there is no made-up astrologer with a name and a photo. The byline is Natale — and behind every piece of text stands a calculation you can verify. If the sky doesn't show something, we don't write it.

The full story

If you're curious about how a natal chart used to be calculated — by hand, for hours, with thick planetary position tables — how software changed all that, and how Natale brings both sides together, the full story is on the How We Work page.

See the full planetary schedule — all retrogrades and sign changes — in the astrological calendar.

How all of this lands for you depends on your whole chart — what a natal chart is and how to read it.

— Natale
