Methodology

Astrology: a real ephemeris

When you enter your date, exact time, and place of birth, Foretold computes the true positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets for that instant from a precise astronomical ephemeris — the same kind of data a professional astrologer works from — and calculates your houses and aspects to the degree. Nothing is rounded to a sun sign. The chart you see is the sky that actually stood over your birthplace.

Tarot, runes, Lenormand, I Ching: a shuffle no one can rig

Every draw uses your browser's cryptographic random number generator and a true Fisher-Yates shuffle. No card, rune, or hexagram is chosen — not by you, and not by us. The order is genuinely unpredictable, which is the whole point: the structure has to be real for the reading to mean anything. What the draw produces is then read by its position, its reversals, and how the pieces answer one another.

Numerology and Kabbalah: arithmetic you can check

Your numbers are worked out in the open from your birth name and birth date, using both the Pythagorean and Chaldean methods, and your gematria resolves your name and date onto the Tree of Life. It is arithmetic, not mystery — you can follow every step, and we show the working.

How the readings are written

Once the real result is computed, the written reading is composed to that specific result — your exact placements, your exact draw — in plain language, translating every technical term into what it means for your real life. The interpretation is where craft comes in, and it is the part you unlock; the computed result itself is always free to see.

Throughout, the frame holds: guidance and reflection, never prediction. Foretold does not forecast death, illness, or disaster, and it keeps readings on the safe side of medical, legal, and financial advice. It is built to help you think, not to tell you what will happen.
