How to use Astralium: chart → copy → ChatGPT or Claude

New to AI fortune-telling? End-to-end Astralium map: chart reading in four steps (Zi Wei, BaZi, Western, Vedic), Liu Yao in three, copy packet → ChatGPT or Claude, plus five common mistakes. Free AI charting—accurate charts, open interpretation.

Many people search for AI chart readings when what they really need is simpler: a chart cast correctly first, then an AI to interpret it. If the charting step is new to you, start with the full AI reading workflow; this post is the Astralium walkthrough—buttons to copy, step by step.

Below: two paths—chart reading (birth data) and divination (Liu Yao · Qi Men). One rule: cast first, then paste to AI—don't hand your birthday to a model and hope it charts correctly.

Part I · 30 seconds

Two lines on the site: chart reading vs divination

Chart reading

Where: home → “Choose a system” → Zi Wei, BaZi, Western, or Vedic
Input: birth date, time, place
Output: natal structure + optional timing appendices
Good for: personality, life chapters, annual cycles
Birth data—not one specific question

Divination

Where: home → green “Divination” block (Liu Yao · Qi Men)
Input: one question + your hand cast
Output: hexagram or Qi Men plate (structured packet)
Good for: “Should I do this?” “Will it work out?” “What's going on right now?”
Coin cast for a specific question—not a birth chart

Pick the wrong starting point, and even perfect steps won't answer the question you meant to ask. For the concept gap see chart reading vs divination—this post is step-by-step usage.

Part II · Chart reading

From birth data to an AI packet

Pick system → enter birth data → generate chart → copy packet → paste to ChatGPT / Claude

1. Pick a system and start charting

Open the home page. Under “Choose a system,” tap Zi Wei, BaZi, Western astrology, or Vedic astrology. You can also open each discipline's intro page first, then tap “Get an AI-ready chart.” On the charting page, switch systems with the tabs at the top.

2. Enter birth data

Date, hour, birthplace—that's the start of turning birth input into an AI packet. If the hour sits on a boundary, read true solar time & charting before generating.

3. Results page

The graphic chart is for your eyes; the text packet is for AI. Copy on the same page—no screenshots needed.

4. Copy the packet

Three copy options, one sentence each:

Instructions + packet: best first time—tells AI how to read the data
Packet only: when you already have your own prompt
Instructions only: occasionally useful when the question changes, not the chart

The free tier includes natal + base packets—enough for personality, relationship, and career questions. What a packet is: AI chart packet explainer.

Four chart systems in one line each

Zi Wei: twelve palaces, stars, transformations, major limits & annual cycles
BaZi: four pillars, ten gods, luck pillars & annual flow
Western: planets, houses, aspects; optional transits or synastry
Vedic: sidereal zodiac, moon nakshatras, Dasha—sign “changed”? See Vedic sign explainer

Advanced appendices (optional)

Open annual, major-limit, transit, or Dasha appendices when you need a specific time window—not every paste. See pricing.

Part III · Liu Yao

From one question to a hexagram packet

Write the question → cast six times & enter lines → generate → copy packet → paste to AI

Liu Yao is separate from chart reading: on the home page, scroll to the green “Divination” block and tap Liu Yao. Three must-knows:

One question per hexagram—specific questions yield useful packets
You cast—three coins, six throws, enter lines; we never auto-cast (why: hand cast vs one-click)
Sign-in & daily quota—Liu Yao requires login; free daily allowance; full packet copy after charting

Liu Yao charting records structure only—no preset lucky/unlucky judgments. Interpretation stays with your AI or reader, same as chart reading.

Part IV · Paste to AI

After copy: help ChatGPT / Claude read your chart

Order matters: paste the packet first, then ask. ChatGPT and Claude read structured fields—not a bare “give me a reading.”

The same packet works in ChatGPT or Claude—swap models, keep the data. For prompts that don't drift: ChatGPT prompt guide.

Engine charts → copy AI packet → add question & boundaries → any AI interprets

Part V · Common mistakes

Five FAQs

Can I just paste my birthday into ChatGPT?

You can ask—but ChatGPT won't chart reliably. Hour, solar time, and system rules drift. See the same-birthday chart comparison. Cast with an engine first, then paste.

Does the site tell me if I'm lucky or not?

No. We provide verifiable structure only—no preset judgments, no conclusions for AI. Stance: accurate charts, open interpretation.

Can the site cast Liu Yao for me?

No—and we will never add one-click casting. You cast; we chart. That step has to be yours—we can't cast for you.

Is free enough?

Chart reading natal + base packets work without sign-in. Liu Yao needs login with a daily free quota. Open advanced appendices when you need specific years or depth.

How is this different from other chart apps?

We don't sell fixed long reports—we build a copyable, reusable chart packet for people and AI. Graphics for display; structured text for use.

Astralium: accurate charts, open interpretation

Whether you're new to free AI charting or already using AI reading tools, the flow is the same: facts charted right → structured packet → interpretation is yours. More background: why AI charts go wrong.
