Positions are geocentric and use the tropical zodiac, computed with the open-source Astronomy Engine library (VSOP87 and lunar theory), the same tables the calculators on this site use. Planetary rulership, detriment, exaltation and fall follow the classical scheme set out in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, book I. Interpretations are Maryna's, written for reflection rather than prediction.
