The Glossary

Every sentence in your reading traces back to a number the engine computed. These are the quantities, in plain language. Each one is a measurement of geometry — not a verdict, not a fortune.

The center of the field

Hub

A number from 0 to 10

The brightness at the very center of your field — the degree to which all ten planetary "voices" agree with one another. A high hub is a chart that speaks with near one voice; a low hub is a chart of many independent voices, or of equipoise and stillness.

The hub is never a score. A low hub is not a deficiency and a high hub is not superiority — they are different shapes, each with its own gift and its own risk.

Calibrated against 2,000 real charts (average 4.34). Below 1.22 (rarest 5%): the near-cancellation pole, the receiver's region, freedom held in reserve. 1.22–7.50: the common weave, where most charts live. Above 7.50 (top 5%): strongly coherent, a broadcaster. Above 8.45: record territory.

Aim

A direction, expressed as a zodiac degree

If the hub is how much the field agrees, the aim is which way that agreement points — the direction of the field's resultant, named by the zodiac sign it falls in. The sign tells you the register the chart's energy is carried in.

The sign name is a cosmetic projection; the underlying direction is a fixed geometric fact independent of which zodiac you measure it against.

The voices

Chorus

The aligned planets

The planets whose waves sing together with the field — the aligned majority. The chorus is what carries you: the voices that pull in the same direction and give the chart its main current.

Counter-line

The dissenting planets

The voices that pull against the chorus — the strong dissent. The counter-line is never a flaw; it is the lifelong negotiation that keeps a field from closing into dogma. In a young person's chart it is named as a built-in protection, an inheritance, never a defect.

Each planet's alignment runs −1 to +1. Above 0.95: near-perfect phase. Below 0.35 in size: a free agent, unconscripted. Below −0.9: the counter-pole, deepest dissent.

Free agent / Parliament

Unconscripted voices

A planet that neither joins the chorus nor strongly dissents — it stands free. When five or more voices stand free (especially the Sun, Moon, or Mercury), the chart is a Parliament: not a single current but a body of independents. The openness is sovereignty held in reserve, never vagueness.

Structure and load

The Saturn toll

What changes when Saturn is removed

Saturn is the planet of structure. The toll measures how the hub changes if Saturn's voice is taken out. A resisting toll means independence bought at a precise price. A load-bearing toll means structure is constitutive — removing it would cost you. Near zero means structure simply is not where your drama lives.

Fusion (a weld)

Two planets within ~2°, acting as one

When two planets sit within about two degrees, they fire as a single tone. A fusion with the Sun is an identity statement: you do not have the trait, it is welded into your I-am. Named welds include the mind-faith weld (Mercury–Jupiter: thinking and believing as one act) and the craftsman's weld (Mercury–Mars: deciding and doing as one motion).

Winding & vortex

The topology of the field's silences

A vortex is a protected point of silence in the field — a still point the surrounding pattern winds around. A true central vortex (winding ±1 at the hub) is topologically protected: the strongest, most durable structure a field can hold. At the center it reads as an enthroned still point, the axis the rest of the self turns on. The rarest individual structure the system finds.

Relationship & depth

Mandorla

The lens-shaped overlap of two wholes

The almond-shaped region where two circles cross — the vesica piscis of sacred geometry, where two wholes meet and something new is born in the between. In a partner reading the mandorla is the centerpiece: the overlap of two people's fields, measured as a percentage of how much they genuinely share. It also appears as each person's own off-plane depth layer.

Field correlation

How two people's fields rhyme, −1 to +1

For pairs: how alike or counterphase two whole fields are across the disc. Near zero is complementary — each rests where the other rises, a kind finding, not a lack. Above 0.2 is structural kinship. Negative is counterphase: taking turns, one's crest on the other's trough. No tier is better than another.

The golden skew (φ)

Distance of the aim from the golden angle

An optional contemplative layer: how far the field's aim sits from the golden angle (137.508°), the angle of ideal growth in nature's spirals. A corroborating list flags any planet pairs that fall near the golden angle to each other. Offered as a reflective lens, held openly — never as a prediction.
