Rather than a detailed outline of a person's personality, The Major Life Themes natal report, which runs about 1,000 words, does exactly what its name implies: sketch out significant themes which an individual will encounter throughout their life. This is not life purpose, but a look at a person's style. Click here to read a sample report. Compare it to the much longer Indra report detailed below.

The Cosmo Compatibility Report summarizes in about 1,000 words the major themes in a relationship. Its strength is its brevity. Ideal as a very quick summary if you've just met someone and want a short, fast (and inexpensive) look at interpersonal possibilities. Click here to read a sample printout, and compare it to the much longer Composite Report described below. Then choose which is best for your situation. Note that you can get a shorter report if you do not know one person's time of birth.

The Indra natal report leans heavily into the psychological school of astrology, which is the great strength of computer reports, and typically runs about 10,000 to 12,000 words, depending on the complexity of the natal chart.Click here to read a sample report in full.

A free copy of the natal chart is available from the ordering webpage so you can compare both the astrological chart and the English language text at the same time. This report also makes a lovely gift which will delight and surprise the recipient. It's the sort of gift no one really is expecting, so if you're looking for something unique for a gift, this report could be just right.

Please note that accurate birth data is required at the time you place your order.

For people wanting to learn more about themselves and astrology, the Indra report's exploration into defining one's own personality is a most effective tool in growing into a constructive mature individual. It is a beneficial tool for people of any age seeking personal bearings, strengths and weaknesses (areas to improve, of course).

In addition, for young people--particularly teenagers--who might be searching intensely to find out "What sort of person am I?" this report is often a very constructive starting point as it shows them what their adult personality is without having to go through a huge amount of (sometimes painful) trial and error experience.

Another helpful area a natal computer report covers is in getting a glimpse into personalities we may not have met. In other places on this website the explorations into two of Reiki's key personalities, Dr. Usui (the founder) and Mrs. Takata (the bringer of Reiki to the West), are based on this Indra computerized astrological report.

The Indra report is outstanding for what I'm trying to do on those webpages: to see the personalities of Dr. Usui and Mrs. Takata rather than the myths. In the case of Reiki, this is a valuable exercise in reclaiming the history of Reiki which for too long has been bogged down in myth and controversy.

The Indra report is also useful teaching tools for someone just getting started in astrology. Most people have a vague sense of themselves at some level. By seeing the astrology spelled out in clear English along with the natal chart, that vague sense becomes a well-defined sense of self. And the astrology comes to life in a very real and personal fashion.

There are, of course, limits to everything, and I feel obliged to indicate that for a person on a spiritual journey, all computer reports do have the shortcoming of anything based on conventional astrology. It does not and cannot account for the multiplicity of evolutionary paths which potentially is inherent in an individual reaching for the cosmos.

That requires a live astrologer, who him/herself is working on soul-level evolution in some fashion, to do the reading. That's why I do a lot of readings in-person and over the phone. Computers, of course, do not have a soul and cannot assist in a soul's evolution (contrary to anything you may have heard from Micro$oft's PR department).

Since its (re)discovery in the 1960s, the composite chart has quickly established itself as one of the professional astrologer's finest tools for looking at relationships, much better focused and more clearly defined than the venerable, but often obscure technique known as sysnastry.

Now you, too, can benefit from this technique without having to study astrology for years. A computer analysis of a composite (relationship) chart is rapidly becoming the place where computer reports shine. They are a remarkably accurate delineation of the complexity of two people's interaction. It not only shows where individuals need to bend and grow to make a relationship work, but also where the blessings are if you and your partner choose to accept them.

The Composite Report available through website is one of the few composite chart analyses around, and happily it is excellent. It typcially runs 8,000 to 10,000 words depending on the complexity of the relationship. A free copy of the composite chart itself is also available for your personal study from the ordering webpage.

Here is all the complex intertwining within the relationship spelled out in plain English to be read and digested at your leisure. I have lost track of how many individuals I have seen shaking their heads in amazement at the accuracy of this report. Click here to read what the report has to say about Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana. It's totally uncanny, but there was also a lot more going on than the public knew about.

Meanwhile, for the rest of us, whether a couple has just met and is wondering what sorts of dynamics lie ahead of them, or a couple is in the midst of a relationship and wants some sense of strengths and weakness which can be worked on, an analysis of the composite chart is a wonderful help.

Most people enter into a new relationship with high hopes and zero knowledge about what they are getting themselves in for. Only weeks, months, or sometimes years later do they realize that it hasn't turned out as they had planned when they first fell in love. Yet by that time there may be enormous entanglements which are very complex and difficult to unwind (how's that for polite?).

It no longer has to be that way. If you are serious about getting it right this time with Mr. or Ms. Wonderful, check it out here first before you make a long-term commitment (like marriage). Kindly note that accurate birth data for both persons are required at the time you order your report.

(Technical stuff: The composite chart is actually a midpoint chart derived from the natal chart of the two individuals. For instance if Person A has Mars in Taurus and Person B has Mars in Virgo, the composite Mars would be at the midpoint in the sign of Cancer. The rest of the composite chart is calculated in the same fashion. The math is mind-boggling, and we may all be thankful that computers save us the donkey work of the number crunching.)

But like any tool, the computerized analysis of a composite chart has its limits. It does not show how a relationship will unfold over time (transits and progressions). That requires an in-person analysis by a professional astrologer who has experience working with this tool (for some odd reason there aren't a lot of astrologers doing that, which I don't understand given the effectiveness of this tool). Click here for a lengthy discussion of what I do in a one-on-one personal reading concerning relationships.

The other limit of a composite computer report (or an astrological reading for that matter) is that the report does not and cannot indicate how two people might exercise their free choice to work with the energy between them. But the report at least shows you the basics of what you're choosing amongst, and that's a constructive start.
