A first book for living with the stars on your side.

Within a year there are stretches suited to moving and stretches suited to settling. Set the sky as it moves now against the sky you were born under, and that flow comes into view. Once you can see it, you can choose for yourself how to move.

HOSHIDOU is a way of living with the stars on your side. It uses the sky you were born under as a guide to how you work. This book is the first step on that path.

  1. 1Calculate the sky

    Along with your birth chart, we calculate how the planets move over the 365 days from the day you make the book, and set that against the sky you were born under.

  2. 2Read it by the established methods

    Following the reading methods astrology has built up, we decide which placements to read, and in what order.

  3. 3AI writes it up

    AI turns that reading into a book in everyday language. The book itself also says that AI wrote it.

Questions people ask before buying

Anything not covered here? Write to us.

Can I make the book without knowing my birth time?

Yes. With the time left blank, we calculate for noon (12:00) at the birth place. The Moon's position and the Ascendant can come out different from the real ones, so if you can find the time, enter it before you make the book.

More detail

The Moon moves about thirteen degrees a day, so a noon chart can put it six or seven degrees from where it really was. If the Moon sat near a sign boundary on your birthday, your Moon sign may come out as the next one over. The Ascendant, the MC and the houses move with the clock, and an Ascendant worked out for noon has about a one in twelve chance of landing in the right sign. Wherever we have assumed, the book says so.

Do I need an account first?

Not to buy one. An email address and your birth details are enough. After payment an account is created for that email address, and you read the book from there.

How soon can I read it?

Writing starts right after payment and finishes in a few minutes. You can read it on screen or keep it as a PDF. Access does not expire.

Can I get a refund if I do not like it?

Because the book is written after you order it, we do not cancel or refund the order once the writing has started. If generation fails, it can be run again at no extra charge, and if we still cannot deliver the book, we refund it. If what we deliver differs from what we told you before you bought it, we remake it at no charge, and if we still cannot put it right, we refund it.

Does a paid plan include Star Scrolls?

No. Each Star Scroll is bought once, and billed separately from the paid plans.

What happens to the birth details I enter?

To write the book, the planetary positions calculated from the birth details and the name used in the book are sent to the API of Anthropic, PBC (USA), which provides the AI. The date, time and place of birth themselves are not sent. Under their commercial terms, data sent through the API is not used to train their models.
