ALMUTEMNew Moon in Libra New Moon in Libra
ALMUTEMNew Moon in Libra Traditional astrology, calculated with rigour and explained without jargon. Here you cast your natal chart and understand what it says, without having to know how to read one. The name comes from the planet that governs a chart: the almuten.
ALMUTEM is the work of one person. The charts are calculated by an engine built here, and the texts are written by hand, from the classical sources. The whole chart is read: the planets, the houses, the aspects, the dignities, the lots and the rhythms of time, all as one. The future is not promised — what the chart shows is described.
Everything here begins in the calculation. Charts are cast by a purpose-built engine, from reference astronomical ephemerides — the same figure of the sky the ancients read, now with the precision of today.
The reading comes after, and it comes from the sources: dignities, aspects, houses and the rhythms of time, drawing on the Hellenistic and Perso-Arabic schools. Nothing is generated at random. A chart describes a nature; it does not foretell a fate.
