AI
The Future of Astrology Reports By Hank Friedman
revised 6/11/26
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm, and is affecting all walks of life. It has been particularly impacting the software industry, with many programs now including AI features.
People are also using it for counseling and receiving all kinds of advice, including astrological interpretations. Several months ago, I tested various free AI models to see how good their chart delineations were, and I wasn't impressed.
I mistakenly assumed that AI just wasn't up to the task, and that we astrologers are far ahead of what AI could do.
But I was uninformed about AI, and didn't understand that there's a world of difference between free and paid AI models, and that some models are much better than others. In fact, each AI model, e.g. ChatGPT, has many different flavors, including fast modes and deeper modes that take more time, do a much better job, and "cost more points" when used, and each model has different strengths too. (For example, Gemini is the only AI that can retrieve text from audio and video recordings.)
I just signed up for a multi-model AI aggregator called SmophyAI which lets you run a single request across six different professional-level (paid) AI models side-by-side, and the astrological interpretations generated were a revelation.
To evaluate the AI models' ability to interpret charts, I used the only astrology program (yet) that can generate the necessary information to copy to the AI model(s): Regulus Platinum. What Regulus outputs are called "prompts" and contain all of the required astrological information (planets by house, sign, degree, aspects, etc.).
After creating birth chart reports with six different AI Models: the latest full versions of Claude, Deepseek, Gemini, GPT, Sonar Pro, and Grok, I was struck by the comprehensiveness and excellence of the reports generated specifically by Claude and Deepseek. They both did an amazing job of synthesizing multiple chart factors, not just describing one at a time. I preferred the Deepseek report the most, and the Grok report least.
The birth chart reports were by far the most impressive. Good enough, in fact, that they match or surpass the quality of the birth chart reports generated by professional astrology programs. The compatibility report was pretty good, but the return report was just mediocre and didn't know the difference between the word progression with the words Solar Return. (Soon Regulus Platinum will enable AI models to generate transit and progressed reports, complete with time spans, too.)
Clearly, we have entered a new era, and it's a revelation that the current AI models – which keep improving – are already able to do such an intelligent job interpreting birth charts with quite a bit of finesse (Deepseek especially).
P.S. There are a few AI astrology report websites and apps, but I just tested one (KundliGPT) and the chart it calculated for me was incorrect! So be very wary of using these tools, as most do not have accurate time-change information and so miscalculate charts.
New! I discovered that the free Windows astrology program PlanetDance, which does calculate charts accurately, can now generate Prompts for AI models. It's prompts are not as detailed as those in Regulus Platinum 9, but a very good beginning.
