...if I were evaluating that founder, I would still want his birth chart because it gives me a completely different layer of information. I want to know how he persuades, how he takes risk, how he behaves around money, how he reacts when someone challenges him, and what happens when the numbers suddenly become very large.
Take selling. I’m not just looking at Mercury and saying, “Great communicator.” I want to see Mercury’s sign, house, ruler and aspects because those tell me how the person actually thinks, frames an argument and gets someone else to believe them. Mercury-Jupiter can be extraordinary for selling a very large future because the person naturally thinks in terms of expansion and can make other people see scale before the scale exists. That can be the founder with $3 million in ARR who walks into a room and somehow makes investors understand how this becomes a $3 billion company. But badly handled, the same signature can oversell and overpromise.
Mercury-Saturn is completely different. That founder may not be the most dazzling person in the first five minutes, but they can be incredibly effective in a six-month enterprise sales cycle because they are precise, credible, prepared and very hard to knock off their argument. Mercury-Mars is different again. That can be someone who is exceptionally fast in a negotiation, who actually likes objections and can turn a hostile meeting around, but under pressure they can also become combative. If I’m underwriting somebody whose job for the next ten years is basically to persuade employees, customers, investors, board members and eventually acquirers, those differences matter a lot.
Then I would look at money, and this is where astrology gets especially interesting to me from an investment perspective. The 2nd house is not just “money.” I’m looking at the ruler of that house, its condition and the planets tied into it because I want to understand how this person experiences value, security, resources and ownership. The 8th house is a different conversation because now we are dealing with other people’s money, debt, equity, outside capital and shared financial power.
Give two founders the same $20 million Series A and you can get two completely different companies. One founder sees $20 million as fuel and doubles headcount in nine months. Another still behaves as though there are six months of runway because their chart is heavily Saturnian around money. Another is perfectly comfortable raising again and giving away another 12% because Jupiter keeps pushing them toward scale. Another can have an objectively excellent financing offer in front of them and still resist it because ownership and control are psychologically loaded for them, which is exactly where I start paying very close attention to Pluto and the 8th house.
And then I want to know what happens when the company becomes genuinely valuable. Imagine the founder owns 24% and receives a $300 million acquisition offer. You can model that outcome in a spreadsheet in ten minutes, but the actual decision is not being made by a spreadsheet. Now I want to look at the 2nd and 8th houses, their rulers, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto, and then I want to see what is being activated by transit at the time of the offer.
I want to know whether this is someone who can recognize when enough is enough, or someone who will keep pushing because expansion always feels one round away. I want to know whether selling the company feels like winning or whether giving up control feels almost intolerable. I want to know whether a major Jupiter activation is making them believe this can become ten times bigger at exactly the same moment Saturn is telling them to consolidate, protect what they’ve built and reduce risk.
That becomes very relevant when everyone in the room assumes a rational founder will make a rational decision simply because the economics are obvious. Founders are still human beings, and very large financial decisions bring ambition, fear, control, identity and ego into the room whether anyone wants to admit it or not.
And I haven’t even touched founder partnerships. If two people own 40% of a company between them, I want both charts. I want to look at their synastry and see what is happening between their Mercuries because I care about how they think and make decisions together. I want to see Mars because I care about what happens when they disagree. I want Saturn because I care about whether the partnership can actually carry ten years of responsibility and pressure. And I want Pluto because I really care about what happens to that relationship once board seats, dilution, control and nine figures of equity enter the conversation.
So yes, I completely buy the argument for McKinsey and Goldman as founder training grounds. I just think that tells you the training layer.
If I were putting $25 million behind the person, I’d be very interested in the operating system underneath it......
Respectfully, this is incomplete cofounder due diligence.

Imagine spending six months on product-market fit only to discover you have founder-Saturn fit....
Because if I were actually analyzing two cofounders, I wouldn’t just check whether they “get along.”
I’d look at Jupiter for expansion, capital and opportunity; Saturn for ownership, responsibility and what happens when growth gets painful; Mercury for negotiation and decision-making; Mars for competition and conflict; and Pluto for power, control and the really interesting conversations around shared money.
Then I’d compare the 2nd and 8th houses, founder-to-founder synastry, the composite chart, and the major transits around fundraising, dilution, acquisitions and potential exits.

Ever wonder why one place felt like home, while another drained you? There’s a name for mapping how locations may shape love, work, and belonging: astrocartography. But how accurate is it?

Your mom gave so much of herself to raise seven children while working jobs that probably never came close to reflecting what that effort was worth. Being able to give her a home, some peace, and a softer chapter of life in return must feel incredibly special. What a beautiful full-circle moment for your family✨
What you’re describing honestly makes so much sense to me, and I think it’s one of those things you sometimes only realize after you’ve been in a place for a while. Because on paper, the Bay Area can look perfect. The weather, the opportunities, the people, the energy, all of that. And then after a year you suddenly realize, wait… why am I not actually enjoying any of this? Why does my whole life feel like work?
If I were looking at your astrocartography map, San Francisco would be one of the very first places I’d want to check. I’d be really curious to see whether you’re close to a Saturn, Mars, Pluto, or Uranus line rather than one of the lines that tends to bring more ease, connection, enjoyment, or emotional warmth. Saturn, for example, can be amazing for discipline and achievement, but it can make life feel incredibly serious. You can get a lot done there and still feel like everything revolves around responsibility, pressure, proving yourself, or just constantly working. Mars can make you ambitious and productive, but it can also keep you in this permanent state of pushing forward. Pluto can be powerful for transformation and career intensity, but sometimes it becomes all-consuming. And Uranus can be exciting and brilliant and full of new ideas, but it can also make it hard to ever really feel settled. Then I’d want to compare all of that with where your Sun, Venus, and Jupiter lines are. Your Sun line can be really interesting because in the right place, you often just feel more like yourself. More alive, more confident, more visible, more connected to who you actually are instead of only what you’re trying to accomplish.
....And Venus is the one I immediately thought of when you said you moved there partly for the weather but were never even in the mood to enjoy it. Because Venus isn’t just about romance. It’s also about pleasure, friendship, beauty, creativity, connection, and your ability to actually enjoy your life. Sometimes on a supportive Venus line, you suddenly notice that you’re going out more, meeting people more naturally, wanting to have dinner somewhere beautiful, spending time outside, dating, creating, laughing more. Life starts to feel like something you’re living, not just something you’re managing.
... And then there’s Jupiter, which is the line I’d look at very carefully for growth and opportunity. Jupiter can be wonderful for business, mentors, education, international connections, visibility, and yes, sometimes financial expansion too. But this is where I’d be very careful, because I would never just say, “Go live on your Jupiter line and you’ll make more money.” It really doesn’t work like that.
I’d first look at your natal Jupiter, what sign it’s in, what house it rules, what aspects it has, how strong or challenged it is in your birth chart, and then I’d look at which Jupiter angle is being activated in a particular place. Jupiter on the Midheaven can be fantastic for career growth, reputation, visibility, and professional opportunity. Jupiter on the Descendant can bring growth through clients, partners, mentors, or important people entering your life. Jupiter on the Ascendant can feel much more personal, like you’re becoming bigger, more optimistic, more confident in yourself. Same thing with Venus. Venus on the Midheaven can be beautiful for public appeal, professional relationships, creative work, and visibility. Venus on the Descendant can be much more about love, partnership, and meaningful connection. Venus on the IC can feel completely different again, much more about home, comfort, belonging, and actually liking the life you wake up to every morning.
So when you tell me this story, I don’t even think, “Oh, you made a mistake moving to San Francisco.”I think maybe San Francisco gave you one very specific chapter. Maybe it gave you work, ambition, exposure, access, ideas, people, all of that… but maybe it wasn’t meant to give you everything. And sometimes you really don’t see that while you’re inside it. You have to leave for a little while, your nervous system settles, your world gets wider again, and suddenly you realize how much of yourself had gone quiet. There may be another city where you’re still ambitious and still building something meaningful, but where you also fall in love, make friends outside your industry, have dinner without talking about startups, spend a whole afternoon doing absolutely nothing productive, and actually enjoy the weather you moved there for in the first place.
Ever notice you get along beautifully on one trip, then feel tense after moving somewhere new? There’s a way to map how different places may affect your relationship—using both your birth details.

New York has velocity. Miami has light.
SF has the people trying to rewrite what’s technically possible overnight.
Not another feature. Not another app.
New chips. New models. New energy. New maps.
The next platform shift, the next trillion-dollar chain,
the next company that makes yesterday’s giants look tame.
Come here to lock in where the technical edge is alive,
where talent, compute, research, and venture collide.
Other cities can offer you lifestyle and sun.
SF offers something rarer:
a front-row seat to what the world becomes
when the smartest builders decide the future has already begun.
YC batchmates hauling the crate,
while materials teams calibrate.
Containers crack, new hardware lands,
deep tech gets built by founder hands.
SAFE notes signed, cap tables lean,
pre-seed science turning into machines.
Demo Day decks, dilution math,
atoms and alloys on the venture path.
GPs chase moats, LPs chase DPI,
founders move freight under an SF sky.
Bits built the Valley, now atoms arrive,
with labs getting funded and hardware alive.
From shipping container to venture-scale play,
this is what “founder mode” looks like today. 🧪📦
Build your startup, build your brew,
pitch the market while you pour one too.
Dial the grind, refine the thesis,
test your roast like product releases.
Add oat milk, angel checks,
seed-stage founders, risk-adjusted bets.
Corgi covers what might go wrong,
while you make your coffee way too strong.
No barista skills, no Series A,
just founders shipping caffeine all day.
So come for the beans, stay for the deal flow,
find a cofounder, then 10x the cold brew. ☕️🐶
@shivanijpatel Raising a seed round, pre-revenue, pre-bloom,
looking for dahlias to brighten the room.
Snapdragons for growth, yarrow for grit,
eucalyptus because the deck needs a bit.
No SaaS, no AI, no ten-x ARR—
just flowers, good soil, and a very cute cap table so far. 🌸
well, well, well.... I’m not the model.
I’m not the product.
You can’t buy me with ad spend,
and you can’t manufacture me with a growth hack.
I make customers stay,
turn users into teachers,
and somehow make your best customers
start selling for you for free.
For years, companies called me “soft”
and cut me first.
Now one of the biggest AI companies
is willing to pay $400,000 a year
for someone who knows how to build me.
What am I?
Community ;)
@brexton Marry your best friend,
your favorite plus-one,
for endless KBBQ
and a lifetime of fun.
More bulgogi, more laughter,
more “one last round” or two—
because forever sounds better
with unlimited BBQ and you. ❤️🥩
If you can find his date of birth, where he was born, and ideally his birth time, send it to me - I’d want to see his astrological 2nd house first, because that can tell me a lot about what he actually values and how he relates to things he owns. Then Mercury and the 3rd house for how he thinks and what kind of communication gets his attention, the 7th house placement for how he deals with people and negotiates, the 8th house position for money, leverage and exchange, and the 10th for status, reputation and legacy. then I’d look at the stelliums, the house rulers, and whatever Saturn, Jupiter and Pluto are placed in his chart because that’s often where the really interesting stuff shows up.
You basically used AI to figure out who owns the domain. I’d use his birth chart to figure out the person behind the name... what he cares about, what he respects, what makes him pay attention and what kind of approach might actually make him stop and read your message.
