Personalised compensation

Compensation is a set of practical actions for working with the tense aspects in your natal chart. Rather than fighting those energies, the idea is to put them to constructive use — through stones, sport, creativity and other everyday methods.

A natal chart tells you what is in your chart. Compensation answers the next question — 'so what do I do about it' — with a concrete, practical plan.

Birth time determines where the houses fall in your chart. If you do not know it exactly, give a rough time of day — morning, afternoon, evening. The reading is still worthwhile; the house-based advice is simply less precise.

Outer compensations — stones, colours — are symbolic cues you can bring into your day straight away. Ongoing ones, such as sport or hobbies, are themes to revisit over a few weeks of regular practice. Deep inner work is a longer-term reflective focus, measured in months rather than days.

Basic covers 8 core sections: tensions, stones, sport, creativity, profession and a plan. Extended adds a compensatory tattoo and a house-by-house breakdown of your natal chart.
