Our **Forensic Dashboard** automates feature extraction (planets, dignities, aspects, degree flags, fixed stars), runs transparent knowledge rules for deception, and organizes the read into tiles for Victim, Perpetrator, Witnesses/Accomplices, Outcome, and optional Abduction cues. It's built for clarity, auditability, and professional workflow. ## Forensic astrology in one paragraph Forensic astrology applies classical and horary techniques to the chart of a documented incident, reading planetary condition and relationships as symbolic signals about roles and outcomes. For the full definition, history, methods, and ethics, see [What Is Forensic Astrology?](/blog/posts/what-is-forensic-astrology) **Important:** The dashboard is a research and teaching tool. It does not replace law enforcement, legal process, or licensed investigation, it is not evidence, and it should not be used to direct real investigations or point at suspects. ## How a modern, auditable workflow looks Traditional reads can be powerful yet hard to audit. The approach below keeps the craft intact while adding structure and repeatability. ### 1) Data - compact chart You capture the moment (date, time, location); we generate a compact, analysis-first chart and include solar visibility and motion flags to reduce setup time. ### 2) Features extraction (automatic) - Planets, houses, sign rulers / co-rulers - Essential & accidental dignities - **Degree flags:** anaretic (29°), ingress, mid-degree, **via combusta** - Applying/separating aspects with orbs - Solar conditions (cazimi, combust, under beams) - **Fixed star hits** on Sun/Moon and all cusps ### 3) Knowledge rules (transparent) Codified patterns surface with **evidence lines** and clear labels. Instead of jargon, you'll see plain-language notes when the chart suggests themes like deception, conflict, cover-ups, or crisis. Each note includes why it appeared. ### 4) Scoring & synthesis - **Dominance scoring:** per-planet dominance and level (angularity, house strength, essentials, aspects, motion) - **Light mediation:** automatic detection of **Translation** / **Collection of Light** when present, with the translator/collector named and linked to the narrative ### 5) Auditable output Every tile shows its inputs, rule fires, and links back to chart factors. Switch between concise **AI Brief** for quick copy and **RAW** for line-by-line evidence. ## Use cases (responsible) - Study documented historical and solved cases with a consistent, repeatable method - Teach and practise traditional event-chart reading - Compare each reading with the documented record and keep track of misses - Test how sensitive a reading is to the choice of event time - Keep an auditable record of every judgment and the rules behind it Always document assumptions and keep case notes separate from legal or investigative records unless permitted by policy. ## Meet the Forensic Dashboard Summary A focused, tile-based workspace that turns a compact chart into a clear, auditable forensic read of the moment. ### Purpose - Run **compact chart - features extraction - knowledge rules** to produce a transparent synopsis - Focus areas: **Victim, Perpetrator, Witnesses/Accomplices, Deception, Outcome**; optional **Abduction** view ### Core Capabilities - **Features extraction:** planets, houses, dignities, **degree flags** (anaretic/ingress/mid/**via combusta**), applying aspects, solar conditions, **fixed star hits** (Sun/Moon + all cusps) - **Knowledge rules:** highlights potential deception and concealment patterns with **evidence** and simple category rollups - **Dominance scoring:** per-planet dominance with breakdown (angular, house, essential, aspects, motion) and level - **Light mediation:** presents **Translation / Collection of Light** if detected by the horary engine (with translator/collector when available) ## Tiles (what you'll see) ### 1) Primary Entity Identification - Victim Analysis - ASC, primary/co-rulers; angularity; dignity sum; **survival heuristic** - Moon (universal co-ruler): position; **VoC**; **via combusta**; malefic dangers; aspect to ruler - Inline toggles: **Abduction Mode**, **AI Brief (Copy)**, and **RAW** evidence ### 2) Primary Entity Identification - Perpetrator Analysis - 7th ruler; planets in 7th; ruler sign/° & house strength (Angular/Succedent/Cadent) - Essential dignity flags; **solar visibility** (cazimi/combust/under beams) - Ruler aspects; malefic/benefic influence summary - Degree flags (with sign-degree dictionary fallback) - Dispositor chain; mutual reception; Translation/Collection (from engine) - **Fixed stars** on Sun/Moon and on cusps (with dictionary meanings) - **Dominant Signature** + behavioral profile hints and a visualization prompt for AI ### 3) Witness & Accomplice Detection - Mercury (witness/sibling), H3/H11 lists, hidden H6/H12, groupings - Condition qualifiers (angular/succedent/cadent; retrograde; cazimi/combust/under beams; via combusta) with a **witness knowledge map** ### 4) Deception Configuration - Algorithmic score + 4-cell meter - Plain-language indicators that explain what's raising a flag - Quick keywords panel mapping each flag to a short meaning ### 5) Final Outcome Determination - **IC sign** explanation; **4th ruler placement** by house (outcome) - **Planets in 4th** outcomes; **Node** modifier - Aspects influencing 4th (applying, classical sources; top by orb) ### 6) Abduction - Location & Distance Cues (toggle) - Pivot from **7th ruler** (fallback: 7th cusp): place type by sign/house; Tier A - D mapping; distance modifiers ## Knowledge Integration (built-in dictionaries) - **Deception rules:** Neptune/Mercury/Saturn/Node variants, including domestic deception (NN in 4th) - **IC/Outcome dictionaries:** IC sign meanings; 4th ruler house outcomes; planets-in-4th outcomes; Node modifiers - **Fixed stars:** per-star forensic meanings (Sun/Moon and cusps) - **Abduction dictionary:** signs, houses, tiers, distance modifiers (e.g., highway/campus, hotel/waterfront, secrecy/controlled access) ## Why an auditable dashboard beats ad-hoc notes **Manual read + scattered notes:** flexible and personal, but hard to audit and reproduce. **Forensic Dashboard (ours):** transparent evidence, rules, and scores; repeatable; team-ready. ## Ethics & good practice - Keep claims **probabilistic** and **documented**; avoid absolute language - Record timestamps, sources, and operator assumptions - Use the **RAW** view for peer review; the **AI Brief** for client-safe summaries - Never substitute the tool for emergency services or legal advice ## FAQs **Is forensic astrology legal to use?** Yes, for research and consulting contexts, but it doesn't replace licensed investigation or legal process. Always follow local laws and organizational policy. **What inputs do I need?** Date, time, and location for the moment you're analyzing - plus any notes that define the question and context. **Does the dashboard replace the astrologer?** No. It standardizes extraction and rules so experts can focus on synthesis and ethics. **What are "via combusta" and "anaretic degree"?** "Via combusta" is the late-Libra to mid-Scorpio path historically treated as volatile; the anaretic (29°) suggests urgency/transition. The dashboard flags both. **Do you include Translation / Collection of Light?** Yes - auto-detected by the engine, named in-tile with links to the planets involved. **Are fixed stars supported?** Yes.
