Methodology and transparency

Calculated data, traceable meaning

Astrological and Tarot interpretations are not scientific diagnoses, established astronomical facts or guaranteed predictions.

NATARCA Meaning Translator™ turns astrological and Tarot symbolism into text for self-reflection. It is not a scientific fact, diagnosis or guaranteed prediction.

01

NATARCA Celestial Engine™

The complete pipeline from local birth details and historical time zone to geocentric tropical positions, independently calculated angles, Whole Sign houses and aspects.

02

NATARCA Interpretation Framework™

A versioned framework that turns the structured chart into ten plain-language reflection sections without modifying the calculation.

03

NATARCA Clarity Trace™

Open “Why am I seeing this?” to inspect the placements, houses and aspects behind an important statement.

04

NATARCA Meaning Translator™

A versioned, deterministic meaning layer that explains verified chart facts and randomly drawn Tarot cards in clear everyday language. It never changes calculated data.

05

NATARCA Relationship Resonance™

A transparent synastry layer for harmony, attraction, tension and growth, without a fabricated scientific percentage.

06

NATARCA Arcana Reflection™

A separate, genuinely randomized Tarot experience for symbolic reflection. It is not part of the astronomical calculation.

07

NATARCA Deep Chart™

The advanced chart experience keeps extended objects optional so the core reading remains clear.

08

NATARCA House Geometry™

Versioned Placidus, Whole Sign and Equal house cusps, angles, house placements and transparent polar fallback.

09

NATARCA Extended Points™

Clearly classified nodes, Chiron, Lilith, four validated asteroids and calculated points with supported ranges.

NATARCA Chart Logic v2

Tropical zodiac · geocentric positions of date · Placidus by default · selectable Whole Sign and Equal Houses · published aspect orbs · no mixed calculation sources.

When birth time is unknown

Planetary positions use a clearly marked local-noon reference. NATARCA does not calculate the Ascendant, Midheaven or houses, and shows uncertainty when the Moon could change signs.
