GnozAstro
Charts, cycles and AI readings — your natal sky and its movements, joined in a single reading.
GnozAstro was born for astrological practice: a full wheel, unique advanced tools, and readings that connect the natal chart to what is at play today. On first launch, a tour of the original instruments opens on today's sky.
Available on the Mac App Store. iPhone and iPad version coming soon.
The argument
Four skies, one reading
+ Antisciayou
A chart does not stop at birth. GnozAstro connects the natal to what comes to touch it, to the inner transformations told by the progressions and to the climate of the year given by the solar return. The antiscia run through this reading, revealing its mirror contacts.
- The natal chart — who you are: every placement, every aspect, the three Black Moons.
- The antiscia — they enrich the natal chart by revealing its mirror contacts.
- The transits — what comes to meet your chart, and when, within ±18 months.
- The progressions — your inner seasons, at the rate of one day per year.
- The solar return — the chart of your year, calculated where you live.
The natal gives the weave; the transits mark the encounters; the progressions tell the inner movement; the solar return sets the climate of the year. The antiscia uncover their hidden correspondences. The reading is born of their dialogue.
All astronomical positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris — a high-precision ephemeris built on NASA JPL data.
First launch
The tour and the wheel
GnozAstro is a practitioner's instrument. On first launch the app opens on today's sky and walks in eleven steps through what exists nowhere else: the three Black Moons and their cards, the antiscia mirror wheel, the triple wheel, the incarnation crosses and the talent pentagrams. Your own chart comes right after. The tour can be replayed at any time from Help.
Time
The time machine
Move through time on your chart: transits, progressions, triple wheel, solar and lunar returns. The player runs forward, back, faster — 30 days/s — and returns to now with one gesture.
Graphic ephemeris, aspect finder, progressed lunation, rectification: a consulting room's instruments, in your pocket.
The hidden contacts
The mirror wheel
The antiscia are not one more layer: they offer another way of reading the chart. The solstitial and equinoctial mirrors reveal hidden conjunctions and oppositions; the amber chords and the reflected wheel let you recognise them at a glance.

The conversation
An AI that holds your whole sky
The conversation knows your natal chart, its transits, its progressions and its solar return. You can ask it about a life pattern, the current year or the week ahead. In a relationship, the composite sheds light on the why; the Davison, with its own movements, pins down the when.
The interpretation follows the humanistic vision initiated by Dane Rudhyar — its reading of the Black Moons and of the lunar nodes makes its singularity. This approach concerns the AI reading; the wheel and its instruments belong to classical advanced astrology.
It answers in the language of your question. From a card on the wheel, an aspect opens the conversation with the question already written: all that is left is to send it.
The reading starts from your real chart, not a generic profile. To learn how your data is protected, see our privacy policy.
The studies
Readings scaled to the case
Natal
The full portrait — every placement, patterns, Black Moons, Sabian Symbols — anchored in your present.
Relationship
Eight storeys: two full charts, the crossed synastry, and the two charts of the bond with the Davison's transits and progressions — the why and the when.
Yearly
Twelve months as a dated calendar, the four skies crossed — what is coming, and when.
Monthly
The same weave over thirty days, starting on the date you choose.

Three faces of one axis
The three Black Moons
The lunar apogee is not calculated in only one way. GnozAstro displays three determinations of a single axis and joins them on the wheel, in the astrological tools and in the readings offered by the AI.
-
The Alicorn
Mean Black Moon — mean apogee
The horn alone, separated from the animal: it gives the direction of the essence, the thread that links the successive forms of a being. It sets the course; it does not walk it.
-
Athena
True Black Moon — osculating apogee
The call of the living. It moves forward, slows, sometimes retraces its steps, and reveals the form that no longer suffices: instincts, desires, memories. It shows what asks to be born.
-
The Unicorn
Corrected Black Moon — interpolated apogee
The mediation: a direction firm enough not to be lost, carried by a body alive enough not to stiffen. The tuning fork of the soul.
“The Mean Black Moon holds the course. The True Black Moon tests the moment. The Corrected Black Moon seeks the accord.”
The foundations
A humanistic astrology
GnozAstro brings together the tools of classical advanced astrology — natal chart, transits, progressions, solar and lunar returns, synastry, composite, Davison and antiscia — and offers unique crossings, notably between the antiscia and the transits, the progressions or the synastry. In the AI conversations and reports, their interpretation follows the humanistic vision initiated by Dane Rudhyar and extended by the cyclic approach of Alexander Ruperti. Its singularity lies notably in its reading of the Black Moons as the places of the chart where the Call of the soul makes itself heard, and of the lunar nodes as the axis that weaves flesh and consciousness in an alchemical process of transformation.
