Question 1

What school of astrology are Cosmic Program readings based on?

Accepted Answer

Our deciphering style was developed methodically over years of research and practice. Coming to astrology as outsiders, the founders had no prior allegiance to any one system, and studied and tested ancient and modern astrological and occult traditions from many cultures and eras.

Any rule that could not be reproduced and validated across multiple systems was excluded. The result is a customised, blended approach that also draws on modern psychology, particularly Jungian ideas about the human mind.

Question 2

What calendar and house system does Cosmic Program use?

Accepted Answer

Our practice and testing are based mainly on the Western tropical calendar with a bias for the Placidus house system, which is the most common approach outside India. For births in the far northern latitudes where Placidus breaks down, we can fall back to a topocentric system.

We also work with whole-sign houses and, where relevant, sidereal and Vedic techniques (for example when discussing Nakshatras or fixed stars). Because our trials were most successful with tropical Placidus, that is our default.

Question 3

How are Cosmic Program readings delivered?

Accepted Answer

Your reading is, in effect, an audiobook of your psyche. We use language, culture, literature, philosophy, mythology and symbolism to decode your natal chart, and organise the result into audio playlists arranged as chapters.

You access your playlist through your personal library on the website from any device. You may optionally share an unlisted link with others; sensitive birth data is redacted, and we recommend using a pseudonym if you have entered your real name.

Question 4

Are Cosmic Program readings good value?

Accepted Answer

We believe so. Depending on the product and your chart, your playlist can contain several times the hours of material you would obtain elsewhere, and includes a substantial background to astrology as well as its scientific and philosophical context.

Most in-person or recorded readings run to about 90 minutes and focus on a few areas of life. Even our most basic option goes into far more depth, at a comparable or lower price.

Question 5

How long does it take to receive my reading?

Accepted Answer

Under standard circumstances we deliver a full comprehensive reading within about 28 days (four weeks). During busy holiday periods this can extend to roughly six weeks. We intend to offer faster options in future.

Question 6

What are Cosmic Credits?

Accepted Answer

Cosmic Credits are the in-app currency used to purchase and unlock content. New members receive a starting balance on registration, and you can buy more at any time.

Credits are used to unlock readings and to explore the Archive of famous people and events in greater depth. As the product grows, more ways to spend credits will be added.

Question 7

What are Sabian Symbols?

Accepted Answer

Sabian Symbols are a set of evocative images tied to the degrees of the zodiac. We generate a personalised set for your chart as custom AI artwork in an art style of your choosing.

Preview images on the site carry a Cosmic Program watermark; the versions delivered with your purchase are watermark-free. The Sabian Symbol product page explains exactly what is included.

Question 8

Do you provide PDF versions of readings?

Accepted Answer

PDF versions are not available at this time. We are working to introduce this option for those who prefer it.

Question 9

Which chart aspects does a reading interpret?

Accepted Answer

At present we focus on the most stressful and karmic aspects of your chart, conjunctions, squares and oppositions, because these often point to traits and challenges that are less obvious to you and those around you.

We do not currently report chart shapes, three-dimensional aspects, yogas, or an in-depth analysis of the harmonious major aspects (such as sextiles and trines) or the minor aspects. This is not because they lack importance; our aim is to help you recognise and work constructively with the more difficult configurations.

Question 10

Does Cosmic Program offer predictions?

Accepted Answer

No. Cosmic Program is not a predictive service. Our purpose is to describe the gist of your psyche and the archetypal tendencies you are born with or may develop over time, in as comprehensive and reflective a form as we can.

We believe firmly in free will. A reading aims to surface your tendencies for better or worse; it is then up to you how you recognise, handle and evolve them.

Question 11

Do you offer readings in other languages?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. We plan to offer readings in most major languages in future. Create an account to be notified as this progresses.

Question 12

Do you offer Zoom or video-call sessions, or video recordings?

Accepted Answer

No, and we do not have plans to deliver readings through live video or call sessions at this time.

Question 13

Can I take part in scientific studies of astrology?

Accepted Answer

From time to time we may design hypothesis-driven studies that call for a large pool of data. Any such study would proceed only under separate, clearly explained terms designed to protect your privacy and anonymity absolutely.

Objective, modern research into astrology is scarce and poorly funded. We would like to help change that, and will invite interested members to participate when the opportunity arises.

Question 14

As scientists, do you think astrology has merit?

Accepted Answer

Having started as sceptics, we have concluded that astrology has real merit as a guide to knowing yourself and growing into a better version of yourself. Its union of art and science connects us to nature and the cosmos in a way few disciplines do.

We are careful not to overclaim: we cannot yet group astrology with the classical sciences. Our confidence rests on historical evidence and lived experience, and on our belief that these ideas deserve serious, independent study with modern tools.

Question 15

Do you recommend books for understanding astrology?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We maintain a curated reading list of astrology and related titles, assembled over years, many of which we own and have read. Look for it in our resources.

Question 16

Can I ask follow-up questions about my reading?

Accepted Answer

Not at present. Our approach is systematic and derived directly from the birth data you provide (time, date and place), so we are unable to accommodate additional questions after your reading is delivered.

We may later develop a more intensive one-to-one service. For now, we leave it to you to decide which parts of your reading resonate most.

Question 17

Can I leave comments after listening?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we welcome feedback and both public and private reviews. Your comments help us improve and deliver a better product.

Question 18

Do you publish articles or a blog?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We publish articles on astrology and related topics, and plan to add further content over time. Create an account to be notified of new posts.

Question 19

Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

From time to time, yes, including seasonal offers and gift options for friends of existing members. For bulk orders, please contact us for special pricing.

Question 20

Are readings refundable?

Accepted Answer

As digital products, readings are generally non-refundable once prepared or delivered. To help you decide before you buy, we provide sample readings of well-known figures and this detailed FAQ.

When you place an order we ask for your birth details and provide a grace period during which you may correct those details or withdraw your order. Nothing here limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law; see our Terms and Conditions for the full position on refunds.

Question 21

Why can't I find a particular celebrity chart in the Archive?

Accepted Answer

To stay objective, we only analyse profiles with an AA (highest-confidence) rating for birth-time accuracy. If you know a figure has an AA-rated birth time, let us know and we will consider adding them.

If you are a public figure with verified, accurate birth data and would like your chart analysed and added to our public portfolio, please get in touch.

Question 22

Who benefits from a reading like this?

Accepted Answer

Anyone drawn to self-reflection. We live in a materialistic age that often assumes anything worthwhile can simply be bought, and it is easy to lose sight of our inner life.

A Cosmic Program reading is an invitation to pause and understand yourself more deeply, a coaching exercise steeped in the wisdom of the ancients, offered for reflection and enjoyment rather than as professional advice.
