Principles and boundaries

What is Anankeastro made of?

Six readings on one ephemeris, each with the same boundary between what you can see and what you pay for. Fated Birthdate ranks a chosen year's candidate birthdates against your chart; Synastry compares two real charts; the weekly, monthly and yearly forecasts read transits against yours. Those run in full for free and return a sketch; a purchase opens the full result and the reading written on it. Calling×MBTI is a one-time whole-chart report. Two more are free in full and ask for no birth details and no account: the daily horoscope and Zodiac×MBTI.

Is my chart my fate?

No, and the name says why. In Greek thought Ananke is not a goddess who decides events; she is Necessity: the conditions a life has to begin inside — the time, the place, the body, the history you did not choose. A chart makes some of those conditions legible: which patterns repeat, where something is under strain, which cycle is opening or closing. What you do inside them is not in the chart.

Is this prediction? What does a reading claim, and what will it never claim?

It is a symbolic reading built on real astronomy, and it is not a forecast of events. A reading names conditions and the stretches of time they hold. It never says that a particular event will happen, gives no medical, legal or financial advice, and does no electional work — it will not pick a date for you to act on. A chart carries no term for a promotion or a diagnosis; producing one would mean inventing it. See the Astrology Disclaimer.

What each reading gives

What is in the paid Fated Birthdate reading, and what is left out?

The periods that stood out in the year you scanned, each with its representative birthdate and the run's width, the exact synastry contacts behind it with their orbs, any Ananke signature, the sampled birth time that shows the pattern most clearly, and whether that pattern holds across the day. Each period is described from its own evidence, so two periods of the same tone do not share a paragraph. Not included: a natal personality reading, electional work, medical, legal or financial prediction, or any claim that a particular event will happen.

Which years can a Fated Birthdate scan cover?

Any year from 1950 to 2010. The year you pick is a candidate birth year, so it can sit earlier than your own; a later year simply means candidates who are younger. The birth-year menus on every form are built from the same constants, so a year a menu offers is a year the calculation accepts.

What does the free synastry comparison show, and what does the purchase open?

The comparison runs in full for free and comes back as a sketch: how many contacts the two charts make, how tightly they run, how far each reaches into the other's life, and whether a commitment structure is there. The purchase opens the contacts themselves with their orbs, the house overlays in both directions, the composite chart and the commitment markers — and the reading that answers what becomes easier between you, where your pacing differs, what the two of you build together, and which real-world behavior should outweigh anything the charts suggest.

What does a free forecast sketch show, and what does the subscription or the yearly purchase open?

All three run in full for free and return a sketch: how much the period holds, where it gathers, and the first questions it raises. The purchase opens the exact dates, the lunations and the house detail, and adds the interpretation — for the week one priority and one or two actions; for the month one to three themes with the dates that carry them; for the year a developmental arc built from where the contacts actually cluster. Weeks and months are a subscription; the year is a one-time purchase.

Billing, platforms and delivery

What is free, and what exactly am I paying for?

The calculation is free; the reading is what you buy. Every product runs its whole calculation first and shows you what it found as a sketch — counts, directions, the first open questions — so nothing here is bought unseen. A purchase opens that result in full and the reading written on it: once for a report, or by subscription for the weeks and months that keep arriving. The sketch is a projection of the same computation, not a second, smaller model.

Which products are one-time, and which renew?

One-time: a Fated Birthdate year (two to six years can be bought as one bundle), a Synastry reading, a yearly forecast reading, and a Calling×MBTI report, which is created once and saved permanently. Subscription: the weekly and monthly forecast interpretations, on monthly or annual billing. A subscription renews through Google Play at the then-current price until you cancel it there; cancellation stops the next renewal, and access continues to the end of the paid period. A one-time purchase never renews.

Where do I buy, and can I read it on the web afterwards?

In the Android app, through Google Play; the web sells nothing and points you to the app. Every calculation and every free page is the same on both. Once your account owns a saved reading you can sign in on the web and load the same reading there — the full one, not a summary. A product without an approved Store listing is shown as unavailable rather than charged through a different product.

The tree-planting add-on: do I have to, why trees, can I plant without buying, and what happens if I refund?
  • Do I have to? No. Nothing is selected unless you choose it, the price of the reading is the same either way, and what you receive is identical.
  • Why trees, on an astrology service? Because at this size it is the one contribution we could make checkable by a stranger: a reading is entirely digital, and this leaves something physical behind that someone else can verify.
  • Can I plant without buying a reading? Not through us — it is only ever attached to a reading you were already buying. For planting alone, go to Ecologi directly.
  • If I refund? You get everything back, the added amount included: it was one order. We buy nothing until the refund window has closed; if the trees were already bought, we absorb the cost.

I bought on my phone. Is it on my other devices?

Readings belong to the account, not the device. Sign in with the same email on another phone or on the web and your saved readings open there; nothing is synchronized in the background — the account is the link. Google Play purchases stay with the Google account that made them: Restore purchases, on the account page in the app, brings them to a new phone signed into that same Google account. A subscription that outlived a deleted account only reconnects at its next renewal.

Can I save or print a reading?

Yes — every page here, free sketch included. Printing or saving as a PDF expands the evidence tables in full, even the ones you collapsed while reading, and each paid reading carries a Save-PDF button that does the same in one click.

Can I get a refund?

Purchases are made through Google Play, so refund requests are handled under Google Play's refund policies, and you can request one from Google Play directly. Separately, if a technical fault on our side prevents a reading from being generated or delivered, we re-run it or, if you prefer, refund you. A reading is final once it has been generated — that is the moment you have it — and a delivered reading is not withdrawn. A bundle of years is one purchase at one price, so it refunds as one order, and a refund can reduce a balance another order paid into. See the Refund Policy.

Privacy and your data

What happens to my birth data — and is any of it sold?

It is not sold. Birth details, a Calling×MBTI self-reported type and any current city you select are used to calculate and deliver the reading you asked for, and Calling×MBTI current-city coordinates are not retained at all. A small set of processors is named in the Privacy Policy; where a reading carries a written narrative, the AI provider among them receives only de-identified structure — no name, email or identifying data. The legal bases and your rights are set out there too. See the Privacy Policy.

How long is anything kept?

For the life of your account, with three exceptions:

  • Weekly and monthly interpretations: the last four of each. A fifth replaces the oldest — save a PDF of one you want to keep.
  • The account itself: erased automatically after thirteen months with no sign-in and no use, with everything that belongs to it — never while it holds a running subscription or an unspent credit.
  • Transaction and tax records: retained as the law requires, personal identifiers removed after erasure.

A sign-in link lasts about fifteen minutes; a session thirty days, and signing out deletes it at once.

Can I export or delete everything — and does deleting my account stop a subscription?

Yes to both, from your account page in any browser — no app needed. Export downloads everything held about you as JSON, the GDPR right of access; delete erases your account and personal data, the right to erasure, keeping only the tax records the law requires, de-identified. Deleting the account does not, by itself, cancel a Google Play subscription: Google Play keeps billing until you cancel it there, and a subscription that outlives a deleted account reconnects at its next renewal. Cancel in Google Play first, then delete.
