What a reading is, and is not
Plain terms for how Star & Root readings are made, and how to use them well.
For reflection and planning
Star & Root shows you the map your stars describe, so you can make empowered decisions, and walks beside you as an ally in the navigating. A reading describes the terrain and its timing. It does not promise outcomes, and it is not medical, legal, financial or psychological advice. The decisions remain yours. For health, money or legal questions, speak with a qualified professional.
How readings are made
Your chart is calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris. The written reading is prepared with the help of AI, working inside the fixed rules of the Systems’ Approach; it cannot change a placement, a date or a remedy. Every reading passes rigorous quality assurance before it is sent. Surya is our named guide and the voice of every reading.
Gemstones
We recommend a stone only from your full birth details, and never one that would strengthen a planet working against your chart. We do not sell stones. Buy from a reputable dealer and ask for a natural, untreated stone.
Health readings
Health readings describe timing and tendencies in the chart. They do not diagnose or treat anything, and they are not a substitute for a doctor.
Your birth details
We use your birth details to calculate your chart and make your readings. We do not sell them.
