Questions & Answers

Not in the fortune-telling sense. We don't predict your future or tell you about your personality. We take the real positions of the planets at the moment you were born and turn them into sound. The chart is the raw material; the result is a piece of meditation, not a reading of your fate.

No. Sphiral works with just your date. Knowing your time sharpens the piece — it sets your rising sign and a finer structure — so we offer “exactly / roughly / no idea,” and we're honest on screen about which you've given. A rough guess still helps.

Only to fix your timezone and your rising sign — it never touches the planets themselves. The nearest town is fine: you'd have to move about 100 km east or west to shift the chart by even a degree. We don't ask where you are now, and nothing is stored.

Strongly recommended. Beneath the meditation sits a binaural pulse — a gentle beat your brain perceives from the slight difference between your two ears. That only works through headphones; on a speaker you'll still hear lovely meditation, but you lose the part that helps you settle.

The web version is about thirty-seven minutes; the full piece is forty-five. Lie down or sit comfortably, eyes closed, somewhere you won't be disturbed. It descends gently and brings you back up at the end — you won't be left stranded. Headphones are essential for the binaural effect, but the meditation works without them too.

Real, and we're careful not to oversell it. The astronomy is exact (the same data used to navigate spacecraft); the calming mechanisms — binaural beats, slow resonant breathing — have genuine evidence, which we cite and hedge honestly. The full reasoning, including what's not settled, is on the science page.

Almost nothing, by design. We use your birth details to compose your piece and nothing else — no location tracking, no microphone, no camera, no trackers, no accounts, and we never sell or share anything. See our principles.

Yes. You can download it as a lossless file and it's yours to keep — no account, no strings. Anything you make stays yours, even if you never come back.

Yes — that's one of the most natural things to do with Sphiral. After you've listened to yours, you'll see a link to make one for someone else. You just need their date of birth, and optionally their time and place. It takes thirty seconds. The piece is unique to them, not a copy of yours — their own sky, their own notes.

It's free while Sphiral is in early preview. We're more interested right now in whether it genuinely moves people than in charging for it.

Only if they share the same birth date, time and place. Change any of those and the meditation changes. With a known birth time, effectively everyone's piece is their own.

Sphiral is small, independent, and built slowly with care. Questions or thoughts are genuinely welcome: hello@sphiral.me.
