Using ChatGPT for Birth Chart Reading in Astrology
First of all, you may not know that there are two types of astrology: astrology for entertainment/commercial and investigative/academic astrology. In the first type of astrology, the astrologer may tell you that they use the Tropical zodiac because they were raised in the West, or the Sidereal zodiac because they were raised in the East, particularly in India. They may also suggest using the Placidus house system because that’s what Astro.com recommends or the Whole House system because that’s what Hellenistic astrology suggests to use.
In the realm of investigative astrology, where we don't aim to entertain people with zodiac signs and we strive for a 100% accuracy rate in our readings, the birth chart is like a tailored dress. Before any birth chart reading, we send our clients a detailed worksheet that aims to determine the birth chart settings that apply to the individual. You can get this worksheet separately here or receive it complimentary with an annual subscription to our Substack or in our course.
ChatGPT cannot determine which birth chart settings apply to you. This vital and essential preliminary task cannot be done by ChatGPT.
Once you have determined the correct birth chart settings that apply to you, you can create it on astro.com or astro-seek.com and upload it to ChatGPT for interpretation.
ChatGPT promptly begins describing the meaning of planets in signs and houses. So now you have two options for understanding the meaning of planetary placements:
Search on Google for interpretations from real astrologers, like you may have done so far.
Inquire on ChatGPT, which provides you with a blend of scraped interpretations from the internet, including eBooks.
When it comes to answering real-life questions, things can get tricky. For example, we asked if this individual is willing to have children and here is the answer:
The answer provided by ChatGPT is incorrect. When asked about the reasons why this individual doesn't want to have children, instead of honestly admitting its lack of understanding of the subject, ChatGPT elaborates on possible reasons, potentially without end. Please refer to the ChatGPT response below:
In this experiment, we uploaded the birth chart of Oprah Winfrey, which we assessed in the previous post titled 'Why You Do Not Want to Have Children'. If you are interested in discovering the real astrological reasons behind her decision not to have children, please refer to that post.
Conclusion: What is the contribution of AI in the field of astrology?
We wouldn't define ChatGPT as Artificial Intelligence (AI), but rather as Intelligent Scraping (IS) or an Intelligent Information Blender (IIB). We don't believe that even its future versions can replace the work of an investigative astrologer. Practical experience and flexible thinking are required to accurately answer astrological questions, and ultimately, being an investigative astrologer involves a psychic process.
