Birth-Chart Personalisation
By Gala Jackson-Coombs
Birth-chart personalisation combines calculated celestial positions with an interpretive layer for reflection. The astronomical calculation and the astrological interpretation are different things: accurate positions don’t establish that astrology predicts business performance or life events.
What information is used
Before checkout, you choose your cover and share your birth date, birth time and birthplace. You can select “I don’t know” for your birth time. We also collect a recipient name and order email so the details can be associated with the person the book is for.
Birth date, time and place are used to calculate your chart. Your Chinese zodiac is adjusted for the Lunar New Year boundary rather than simply using the calendar year.
What if your birth time is unknown?
We can use your date and place of birth, but leave out your rising sign and houses because those require a birth time. We don’t invent a birth time to fill that gap.
What the zodiac preview means
The purchase journey shows a Western Sun sign and Chinese zodiac preview. This date-based preview isn’t your production birth chart. Near a Sun-sign boundary, a date alone may not establish one sign, so the preview can indicate that confirmation is needed.
How your chart is interpreted in the book
The opening blueprint includes your chart overview, solar return and Chinese animal. Eleven portal spreads cover key 2027 astronomical events. One page explains the astronomy; the other shows where it falls in your chart and offers reflection questions.
The astrological material is a prompt to pause, reassess and ask a better question. It isn’t medical or psychological advice, and it isn’t a scientifically validated prediction of your year. The practical If-Then planning framework can be used independently of it.
Every date is calculated, not copied. SWISS EPHEMERIS Inside.
How your birth details are held
Birth details are saved privately before checkout. The Shopify basket receives an opaque reference rather than your birth information. Saving details isn’t a payment confirmation; Shopify’s order confirmation remains authoritative.
Your Big Five questionnaire is completed after ordering and informs eight tailored prompts across the book.
