How your reading is made

A transparent look at the methodology behind every Polaris Oracle reading.

Step 1

Your birth chart

We calculate your natal chart using Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗数), a centuries-old Chinese astrological system. From your birth date, time, and gender, we derive your twelve palaces, major and minor stars, and the Four Transformations that shape your natal chart — all computed deterministically, the same way a human astrologer would work from a physical chart.

Step 2

Decade and yearly cycles

Beyond your natal chart, we calculate the ten-year decade cycles (大限) and their corresponding yearly transits for the first eight decades of your life — each year mapped to a palace and its own set of transformations.

Step 3

AI-assisted interpretation

The structural data from your chart is passed to an AI model, which writes your reading in plain, accessible English — translating traditional astrological patterns into a personality profile and life guidance you can actually use, without requiring any prior knowledge of Chinese astrology.

Step 4

Paid for on-chain, per reading

Every reading is paid for individually using the x402 payment protocol on Solana — no subscriptions, no accounts beyond your wallet. A portion of each payment is burned, permanently reducing the token supply.
