Your natal chart is a map of the sky at the exact moment you were born. It shows where every planet was positioned in the zodiac — and what that means for your personality, relationships, career, and life path.
Planets represent different energies — the Sun is your core identity, the Moon your emotions, Venus your love style, Mars your drive. Click any planet on your chart to learn what it means for you.
Houses are the twelve sections of your chart, each governing a different area of life. The 1st house is identity, the 7th is relationships, the 10th is career. Click a house number to explore it.
Signs color how each planet expresses itself. Mars in Aries is bold and direct; Mars in Pisces is gentle and intuitive. The sign gives the style.
Aspects are the angles between planets in your chart. They show how different parts of your personality interact — sometimes harmoniously, sometimes with friction.
Trine (gold lines) — 120° apart. Natural flow and ease. Talents that come without effort. The risk: what comes too easily may not be fully developed.
Square (red dashed lines) — 90° apart. Friction and drive. These create the restless energy that pushes you to actually do something. Challenging but productive.
Opposition (blue lines) — 180° apart. Two needs pulling in opposite directions. Often experienced through relationships — you see one end of the axis in other people.
Sextile (green dashed lines) — 60° apart. Supportive opportunities that require conscious effort to activate. Potential waiting to be used.
Conjunction (white lines) — 0° apart. Two planets fused together, amplifying each other. Can be powerful but lacks perspective on itself.
Your astrocartography map shows where in the world your planetary energies are most activated. Each planet has four lines — MC (career/reputation), IC (home/roots), AS (identity), and DS (relationships).
Cities near your Venus lines tend to bring beauty, pleasure, and romance. Jupiter lines bring growth and opportunity. Saturn lines bring structure and career advancement — but also hard work.
Click any line on the map to see what it means, or search for a city to find which lines pass through it. The closer a city is to an exact line, the stronger the effect.
Hi, I'm Ami.
I started studying astrology in college in 1992 — and I was hooked immediately. I ended up creating a class around it at California Institute of the Arts, found a teacher, and built the curriculum so other curious students and I could learn together. Back then we used paper ephemerides to look up planetary positions by hand. Every aspect, every transit, every degree — looked up manually, cross-referenced, calculated. It was slow, clunky, and honestly a little magical.
Over the years the tools got better, but there was still a gap — too many sources, too many tabs, too much translating between systems. I wanted one place that brought it all together accurately and elegantly. Now, with modern technology, we can do exactly that — give astrologers faster access to everything they need, and give curious beginners a real way in. More accurate, more accessible, and still rooted in the tradition that made me fall in love with this in the first place.
Ami is the tool I wished I'd had: a single place where an astrologer can pull up placements, aspects, transits, and astrocartography instantly, and where anyone curious about their chart can start learning without needing a decade of study first.
My goal has always been two things at once — give astrologers faster access to the tools they already use, and give everyone else a way in. A way to understand what their chart is actually saying, to come to a reading better prepared, or to start reading it for themselves.
And beyond the individual chart — to find others who are equally fascinated, make discoveries together, and build something like a real community around this ancient and endlessly surprising practice.
Ami is not here to replace human astrologers. She's here to make their work more accessible and to help everyone learn to read the stars for themselves. Every reading draws from real astrological tradition and trusted human scholarship. Our mission is to empower — to give you tools, connect you with trusted resources and community, and make astrology something everyone can access and use in their own life.
Mundane astrology studies world events through planetary cycles — the same planets in your natal chart also form patterns in the sky that correlate with historical turning points.
Saturn-Pluto conjunctions have coincided with world crises (1914, 1947, 1982, 2020). The Great Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in 2020 marked a 200-year shift from earth to air signs.
The Mundane section features articles connecting these cycles to history and current events, a community observations board, and a live sky view showing today's major planetary configurations.
