How Our Tools Work
At Astralium, we believe in full transparency. Every tool on our site runs entirely in your browser — no server-side processing, no hidden logic. Below we explain the methodology behind each tool category so you can understand exactly what powers your readings.
Tool Methodologies
Tarot
Uses seeded digital randomness (Fisher-Yates shuffle). Each card has equal probability. Interpretations are drawn from traditional Rider-Waite symbolism.
Numerology
Uses standard Pythagorean numerology formulas. Numbers are reduced by digit sum to 1-9 (or master numbers 11, 22, 33).
Astrology
Zodiac sign calculations based on standard tropical astrology date ranges. Compatibility scores use traditional elemental affinity.
Moon Phases
Calculated using the synodic period (29.53 days) from a known new moon epoch. Approximate within ±1 day.
Oracles
Digital randomness simulates physical divination methods. Results are algorithmically generated for reflection purposes.
Our Philosophy
All our algorithms are deterministic — given the same inputs, you'll get the same outputs. Nothing is magic; everything is mathematics applied to ancient traditions.
