Our methodology
Oravane is built by people who take this craft seriously. Nothing here is improvised or plucked from the air — your readings rest on real astronomy and long-established traditions, applied faithfully and reviewed with care. Here’s exactly how.
Real astronomy, calculated to the minute
Every chart begins with where the Sun, Moon and planets actually were at the moment and place you were born — computed with the same positional precision used in professional astronomy, down to the exact minute and degree. When you give us your birth time and location, we place the houses and your Rising sign precisely; when you don’t, we’re honest about what we can and can’t show. The numbers under your reading are measured, not guessed.
Faithful to established traditions
Interpretation follows recognised systems with long lineages, each applied by its own rules rather than blended into vagueness:
- Western astrology — the tropical zodiac, houses and aspects as taught in the modern tradition.
- Vedic astrology (Jyotish) — the sidereal zodiac, nakshatras and planetary periods, kept distinct from the Western reading.
- Chinese astrology & the Four Pillars — the animal signs, elements and pillar system in their own framework.
- Numerology — the classical Pythagorean method for your core numbers and cycles.
- Tarot — the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition, read by card meaning and position, never by doom.
- Human Design and more — each system used as its own discipline defines it.
Readings written with care, not churned out
Our written interpretations are composed against a strict internal standard — for accuracy, variety and a warm, plain-spoken voice — and reviewed before they’re published, then served consistently rather than re-improvised on every visit. Where you talk with a live guide, that guide is clearly an AI: honest about what it is, grounded in your real chart or numbers, and held to the same standard of specificity and care.
Honest about what this is
We’re precise about the astronomy and faithful to the traditions — and equally clear that astrology, tarot and numerology are systems of meaning and self-reflection, not sciences that predict the future. We don’t trade in fear, fatalism or false certainty. A reading is a mirror and a prompt to think, offered for insight and entertainment — the choices always stay yours.
Private by design
Your birth data exists to power your readings and nothing else. It is never sold, and it is handled with the care set out in our Privacy Policy.
