Birth Codex

The Codex Types: which one are you?

Your birth chart holds 11 points that spread across the four elements: fire, earth, air and water. They come from the sun, the moon, the ascendant and the planets. The element with the most points gives your Codex Type, so there is one type for each element.

When the points spread almost evenly and no element holds more than 3, another type applies: Cartographer.

What the code tells you

The code is two numbers: the points of your strongest element and of the element with the fewest points, for example 5:1. All 11 points of your chart spread across the four elements, so the code shows at a glance how pronounced your type is. The closer the two numbers, the more balanced your chart.

Your counterpart

Your counterpart is the type of your quietest element. People of this type bring a strength that complements yours, and together you see more.

Frequently asked questions

How is the Codex Type different from my sun sign?✦

Your sun sign looks at a single placement. The Codex Type counts 11 points across the whole chart, the sun, the moon, the ascendant and the planets, and asks which element weighs most. Two people with the same sun sign can have different types.

Does my Codex Type change over time?✦

It is calculated from your birth data, and that never changes. Your type stays with you for life; what changes is how you live it.

What if all my elements weigh almost the same?✦

If no element holds more than 3 of the 11 points, another type applies: Cartographer. It is a type in its own right, the one for people who see every side at once.

What do I need to find my Codex Type?✦

Your date, time and place of birth. The exact time matters because the ascendant is one of the 11 points.
