Explore the system layer by layer. Start at the top with the core map, then move down into the parts, the Tree, and the finer celestial detail.
Start Here · The Core Map
How your Cosmograph is assembled — the four Pillars, the four Quadras they fall into, and the sixteen Archetypes they produce.
The Chart's Raw Parts
The zodiacal machinery every reading is built from — the signs, planets, and houses in Zodarchy's own language.
The Tree & Its Depths
Your Tree of Chambers and the layers moving beneath it — where energy pools, how it changes, and what it does under pressure.
Celestial Fine Detail
The precise sky layers that sharpen a reading — the decan Faces, lunar Fields, and the Channels where Sun and Moon meet.
Theory & Extensions
The underlying model behind the whole system, plus specialized overlays that extend it.
The grammar beneath the four axes
Each axis draws on Jungian psychology and Hellenistic temperament theory as analogy and inspiration — not as a claim that either tradition taught these exact poles.
Jungian subject/object orientation, plus a perception-emphasis vs. action-emphasis.
Where does orientation begin?
A moist ↔ dry analogy: moisture fertilizes and lets impressions blend; dryness separates and gives form.
How permeable or discriminating is the field?
A cold/consolidating ↔ hot/mobilizing analogy — what the system does when pressure enters it.
What happens when pressure enters the system?
Differentiation, compensation, and convergence — how much possibility is allowed to remain open.
How does possibility become committed form?
