Site Access

To use or access Astrodune Connections, you are required to create an account by providing an email address, password, and accurate birth data necessary for generating your personal natal chart. Providing birth data is mandatory, as the service cannot function without it.

While Astrodune Connections ensures that your birth data is not directly visible to other users, please note that it may be possible for individuals with sufficient knowledge or software to reverse-engineer your birth data from the generated natal chart. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that your birth data will not be identifiable by others.

Astrodune Connections is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized account use, whether with or without your knowledge.
