Online astrology suffers from a lack of grounding: most platforms synthesize interpretations without ever naming the traditions they derive from. That is comfortable on the UX side, but it is also opaque.

This page exists to make the intellectual genealogy visible. When Llmastro speaks of the Saturnian component of a natal chart, it is a reading Liz Greene largely shaped from 1976 onward. When it speaks of the Pluto-Uranus cycles, it follows in Tarnas's wake.

Beneath the readings that show their traces, a discreet note indicates the references chiefly consulted for each category of astrological configuration. The aim is not erudition for its own sake, but traceability.
