Writing at Star Chart Guide

About

The app came first. A slow week at work, a deployment I was waiting on, and a free birth chart app I downloaded expecting to kill maybe fifteen minutes. That was close to two years ago. I still have the spreadsheet.

I am a project manager in Denver, 34. The job involves sprint planning, dependency tracking, and nudging people to update statuses in whichever tool the team agreed on and then immediately forgot about. Those same instincts transferred, unexpectedly well, to astrology. I started tracking transits against actual decisions in a spreadsheet that began as a short experiment and became the running log behind this site, with hand-annotated rows that now cover close to two years of data.

The daily horoscope phase lasted about three weeks before I found those too vague to hold my attention. They are formatted gut feelings in planetary language, more or less. Natal charts were different. Transits were different. Tracking actual dates against actual decisions across nearly two years of planetary movement is more specific than it sounds from the outside. The results were less predictable than I expected: some of it aligned clearly with things happening in my life. A lot of it did not. Both are worth writing about, so I write about both.

My experience here comes from direct personal tracking over two years, not from professional training or certification. What I can tell you is what the data actually showed, what I could not explain away, and where the method fell flat. The working description for what I do is "well-documented personal obsession," and that is probably the most accurate one.
