The Altar Queries

Everything you need to know about navigating the Oracle, understanding the traditions, and utilizing your SAGE Energy.

The Core Oracle

Do I need my exact birth time or date?+
No. Unlike astrology, Geomancy is an "Astrology of the Earth." It reads the energetic resonance of the moment you ask the question. There is no need to enter birth data, coordinates, or star charts.
What kind of questions can I ask?+
SAGE excels at highly specific, practical inquiries. Rather than asking "Will my life be good?", ask "What is the likely outcome if I select this career path?" Geomancy provides concrete, binary logic concerning outcomes, timing, and dynamic friction.
Is AI just guessing my future?+
No. SAGE utilizes AI purely for synthesis of ancient rules. The underlying logic uses the rigorous mathematical matrices defined by ancient geomancers. The AI acts as the modern "Practitioner," translating the strict chart relationships into humanly readable guidance without altering the foundational math.

The Two Streams (Western vs Ramal)

What is the difference between Western and Ramal?+
While both traditions share the same 16 sixteen geomantic figures, their interpretative lenses differ:

Western Shield: Used by European polymaths during the Renaissance. It's excellent for understanding psychological motivations, internal dynamics, and how past actions influence the future.

Indian Ramal: An incredibly strict, mathematical system originating in the East. It is unparalleled for distinct timelines, objective outcomes, and pinpointing whether an event will physically manifest.
If I select a tradition, can I change it later?+
Absolutely. You are never locked in. Every time you cast a reading from the dashboard, you have the option to cast a Western chart or a Ramal chart. You can even ask the exact same question in both systems using separate energy tokens.
What if the two traditions give me different answers? (The Duality of Truth)+
Because SAGE offers both Western Geomancy and Indian Ramal as distinct mathematical pathways, you may occasionally find differing verdicts for the exact same question. In divination, this is not a contradiction, but a deeper layer of insight.

Western Geomancy (Material Probability): Analyzes the "Earthly currents" to see if the physical doors are currently open for your request.

Indian Ramal (Karmic Velocity): Analyzes the "Soul's Timing" (Gati) to see if the result will be stable, lasting, or spiritually beneficial.

The Sage's Rule: If Western says "Yes" but Ramal says "No", the physical path is open, but the fruit may be hollow or the spiritual timing is not yet ripe. Trust Ramal for long-term fate, and Western for immediate physical possibility.
How does SAGE handle differing astrological doctrines among sages?+
Throughout history, both Western Geomancy and Indian Ramal Shastra have spanned across vast geographies and regional lineages. As a result, certain sages and classical texts occasionally diverge on fundamental parameters—such as the exact planetary energy, elemental attribution, or zodiac sign associated with a specific figure.

SAGE profoundly respects these historical nuances. However, to maintain a mathematically coherent and universally reliable oracle, our engine reconciles these differences by strictly adhering to the most orthodox and widely accepted classical doctrines of the respective tradition. While your personal or regional lineage may attribute a slightly different energy to a figure, SAGE utilizes the established historical consensus to ensure the Oracle's logic remains unshakeable and entirely consistent for all seekers.

Energy Tokens & Pricing

How do Energy Tokens work?+
Energy Tokens are SAGE's internal currency. A "Daily Casting" (a lightweight snapshot) costs 1 Energy. A deeply synthesized "Premium Casting" (structured, multi-layered advice for life path decisions) costs 3 Energy.
Do I get free tokens when I sign up?+
Yes. All new practitioners receive 11 Free Energy Tokens immediately upon registering. This allows you to test out both daily and premium readings without any commitment.
Do tokens expire?+
No. Energy Tokens you purchase or receive remain in your account indefinitely until used. You can return to the Altar years from now and cast the oracle.
Is my payment secure and what options are supported?+
Yes, all transactions are processed through Razorpay, one of the leading and most trusted bank-grade payment gateways globally, ensuring completely secure, end-to-end encryption. You can safely purchase Energy Tokens using a wide variety of payment options, including major Credit/Debit Cards, UPI, Net Banking, and popular Mobile Wallets.

Technical Details

What languages does SAGE support?+
SAGE features a dedicated multicultural engine. Readings can be instantly synthesized in 10 languages: English, Hindi, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. Each reading is culturally adapted, honoring the linguistic and spiritual nuances of each tradition.
What is Premium Practitioner Mode?+
For those seeking deeper geomantic mastery or professional astrologers requiring full theoretical transparency, SAGE offers an advanced Practitioner Mode within Premium Readings.

Activating this reveals the full technical architecture beneath your reading. It uncovers the Court Layer, the Mizan (Judge) mechanics, Elemental Tattva balances, Court Coherence scores, and the complete stricture verification dataset. It allows you to see the exact historical formula powering the AI's final synthesis. Note: Practitioner Mode tables are provided strictly in English.
Is there a mobile app?+
SAGE operates as a Progressive Web Application (PWA). You don't need to download anything from an App Store. Simply tap "Share" and "Add to Home Screen" on your mobile device to install the app directly, offering lightning-fast offline logic caching.
