About this library

How we write

We write in plain language and try to be specific: what an aspect is like on an ordinary Tuesday, where it tends to show up, and what helps. The terms match the ones in the app, so what you read here will make sense when you see it in a report.

Astrology is a way of thinking about yourself and other people. These pages are for reflection and enjoyment. A chart doesn’t decide who you should be with or how a relationship will go, and nothing here is medical, legal, financial or relationship advice.

If something in a relationship frightens you or hurts you, please trust that over any chart. Our safety page and support team are here for concerns about people you’ve met through the app.

What’s here and what’s in the app

On aspect pages, the short summary at the top is the same one you’d see in a MatchMachine report, and everything around it was written for this library. Longer readings, and the way your particular chart and someone else’s combine, are in the app’s reports.

Who writes it

Much of this library is adapted from articles by Ben Baker, MatchMachine’s CEO and astrologer. Ben has practiced astrology for over 35 years and is a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) practitioner. Ben holds 11 patents and has contributed to foundational features that dating sites use today.
