Sidereal Jyotish vs. AI chat astrologer, tropical.
Sanctuary's core product is a conversational AI astrologer over a tropical chart. BirthHue leads with structured sidereal readings (Rāśi, Navamsa, Dasamsa, and Daśā timing) with an AI chat layer added on top of real placements, not replacing them.
Feature by feature
Where the two approaches actually differ.
| Feature | BirthHue | Sanctuary |
|---|---|---|
| Zodiac system | ✓ Sidereal (Lahiri ayanamsa) | - Tropical |
| AI chart chat | ✓ Included (higher tiers) | ✓ Core feature |
| Divisional charts (D9, D10) | ✓ Included | - Not offered |
| Vimshottari Daśā timing | ✓ Full 120-year sequence | - Not offered |
| Real chart without paying | ✓ Full D1 chart, no card | ✓ Limited |
Why it matters
Chat is a layer, not the whole product
Sanctuary centers the AI conversation. BirthHue centers the chart itself: the AI Chart Chat answers questions using your real placements, but the structured readings stand on their own without it.
Classical timing, not just interpretation
Sanctuary's tropical chart doesn't carry a Daśā timing system. Vimshottari Daśā is one of the main reasons people move from tropical to sidereal/Vedic astrology in the first place.
