Can a Birth Chart Predict When and Who You'll Marry?

An independent study examining whether the traditional techniques of predictive astrology, the classical methods for describing a spouse and timing a marriage, can predict real outcomes. Every reading is made blind, from birth data alone, and scored honestly against what actually happened.

Take part, and you'll help build one of the most honest tests of predictive astrology ever run.

The Techniques Under Examination

Three claims traditional astrology has made for centuries, tested against real marriages, and scored blind.

01

The Descriptor

Lilly held that the seventh house and its ruler describe the spouse. Can it name your husband or wife's build, coloring, temperament, and work?

Significators examined
  • The 7th house and its ruler
  • Planets placed in the 7th
  • Venus and Mars as natural significators of the spouse
  • Build, coloring, temperament, profession, each scored on its own
02

The Timing

Do the classical timing techniques flag the year you actually married, and how closely does the flagged period match the real date?

Techniques examined
  • Secondary progressions
  • Solar arc directions
  • Annual profections and the year's lord
  • Returns and outer-planet transits to the 7th
  • Year is the primary level; season or month where the data supports it
03

The Count

Dorotheus judged whether a person marries once or many times from a handful of placements. Does that judgment hold?

Placements weighed
  • The 7th ruler and its condition
  • Venus and the Moon
  • The sign on the 7th, fixed for one, double-bodied for many

The Findings

This study publishes in three phases, each one a deeper look as the data grows: a first read of the signal at 400 charts, a stronger pass with tighter estimates at 2,500, and the complete analysis at 5,000.

Phase 1Now filling

Preliminary

A first look at the data once 400 charts are in. Early signal, wide error bars, published openly.

Phase 2Now filling

Expanded

The analysis rerun at 2,500 charts. Tighter estimates, subgroup checks, and a look at what held up from Phase 1.

Phase 3Now filling

Full

The complete analysis at 5,000 charts. The final word on what this study found, hits and misses alike.

Status: the first milestone is still filling. Preliminary findings will be published right here the moment Phase 1 completes, every participant gets word when they land, and the analysis then rolls forward through the expanded and full phases as more charts arrive.

How It Stays Honest

Blind first. Your chart is cast and its predictions written down before any of your answers are read.

Controlled. Your real chart is scored against matched sham charts and a plain base-rate baseline, a hit has to beat chance, not just sound right.

Misses published. The findings will include where the method fails, that's the point of running it.
