Purple Star Astrology
Your life, mapped by the stars above.
Lunar Path Astrology casts a full Purple Star birth chart from your exact date and hour of birth — the twelve palaces, the ruling stars, and the ten-year cycles ahead, calculated in real time and explained in plain English.
Why Lunar Path Astrology
An old system, made legible
Purple Star Astrology has guided major life decisions across East Asia for over a thousand years, but almost nothing about it is written in English — and what exists is usually a static, generic printout. Lunar Path Astrology exists to change that: a real calculation engine, paired with a reading that actually makes sense.
Built on the classical rules
Every palace, star, and cycle is placed using the same centuries-old Purple Star method taught in the traditional texts — not a simplified lookup table.
Calculated, not templated
Your lunar birth date, life palace, element bureau, and all fourteen major stars are computed fresh from your exact birth details, every time.
Plain-English interpretation
The vocabulary of Purple Star Astrology is dense even in its original language. We translate it into a reading you can actually follow, without losing the substance.
Private by default
Your chart is generated in your browser. We don't ask you to create an account just to see your own reading.
Star Guide
Meet a few of the fourteen main stars
Every chart is built from fourteen major stars distributed across twelve palaces. Here are four of the most influential — the ones most likely to anchor your Life Palace.
The Emperor
The chart's leading star. It's about self-confidence and wanting to be in charge. Whatever palace it's in becomes extra important in that person's life.
The Sun
A star about being seen and giving to others — recognition, generosity, and fatherly energy. Strong here means natural warmth and influence; weaker means shining more for other people than for yourself.
The Moon
The quieter opposite of the Sun — thoughtful, home-focused, and good at saving and building things slowly. It favors patience over rushing.
The Strategist
A star about quick thinking and adapting fast. It likes change and planning, and does best when things aren't staying still.
