Almost nobody arrives at PathFinder from nothing. Most people arrive with something already installed — an app they have stopped opening, or software on a desktop they cannot take to a client session — and a fairly precise sense of what is missing. These pages are for that moment.
They are written to a rule. We describe what PathFinder computes, where the numbers come from, what it costs, and what your first hour looks like. We do not tell you what the tool you are leaving does or does not do — you have used it, and you know it better than we do. If a page here reads as a list of somebody else's shortcomings, we have written it badly.
What is constant across all of them: thirteen chart types, each computed from real astronomical ephemeris data validated against JPL Horizons; AI interpretation that reads essential dignity, sect and aspect patterns from your actual placements; a free tier with the natal chart, daily transits and annual profections and no card required; and PathFinder+ at $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year for the rest of it. Your birth data is encrypted in transit and at rest, our primary application servers sit inside the EU, and there are no advertising or tracking SDKs in the product.
Pick the page that matches where you are coming from. If the answer turns out to be no, that is a perfectly good answer to reach in ten minutes rather than after a subscription.
You know your chart by heart and a paragraph about your rising sign has stopped telling you anything. What thirteen chart types, real ephemeris math and technique-literate interpretation actually look like.
The writing taught you the techniques. Now you want to run them on your own chart. What thirteen chart types, real ephemeris math and technique-literate interpretation actually look like.
The search term is usually “Solar Fire alternative mobile”, and the word doing the work is mobile. What a browser-based chart engine gives you, and — honestly — what it does not.
