Frequently Asked Questions
Is TimePassages accurate?
TimePassages uses a Swiss Ephemeris-grade calculation engine. In our test, the Sun, Moon, and ascendant positions matched our reference chart to within 1 arc-minute.
Do I need to pay to use it?
No — the free tier includes a natal chart and basic interpretation. Paid tiers add transits, synastry, and deeper reports.
Is my birth data safe?
Yes. Per the privacy policy, birth data is stored only within your account and is not sold to third parties. You can delete your account and birth data anytime.
Can I replace a human astrologer with this app?
For chart calculation and static interpretation, yes — the math is the same whether a computer or astrologer does it. For life-event counsel, a human still outperforms any automated interpretation.
Which is best for beginners vs. advanced?
Beginners: Co-Star or The Pattern for the mobile-first, life-context feel. Advanced: Astro.com for raw chart power; Cafe Astrology for deep interpretation.
