Astrolium turns a chart you have finished reading into something you can hand to the client: a frozen wheel, a legend, a sentence or two from you, and the handful of note excerpts worth repeating. You review the whole package on the page the client will actually open, then mint the link.
For the wheel this starts from, see the natal chart feature. For the longer written deliverable, see Report Studio. For the client record the excerpts are drawn from, see the CRM module. For the plans, see pricing.
Why a reviewed link beats a PDF
The PDF wheel is a fossil from a workflow that ended around 2014. It was the only deliverable older software could produce: a print-resolution wheel, an aspect table on page 2, planet positions on page 3, mailed as a 12 megabyte attachment. By minute 6 of the next session the client cannot find it. By week 2 they have replaced their phone. The attachment is gone.
A link survives all of that. It opens in Gmail, in WhatsApp, on the bus, on a laptop that has never heard of astrology software. And because it is a package rather than an export, it carries the small amount of context that makes a wheel readable to someone who is not an astrologer.
Frozen on purpose
An earlier version of this page promised a link that always showed today's transits. The shipped feature does the opposite, and the reversal was deliberate.
A chart that redraws itself after you send it is a chart you cannot stand behind. You reviewed one picture; the client opened another. For a composite in a separation reading, or a return chart for a delicate year, that gap is not a feature. So the package is immutable from the moment it is minted: the wheel, the legend, your message, the excerpts, the redactions you chose. After minting, the content and security settings lock. Changing any of them means creating a new link, which keeps the old one honest about what it was.
Live movement belongs in the workspace, where you are there to read it. The transits time navigator is where the sky keeps moving.
What the client actually opens
The public page runs in a fixed order, and the order is the design:
- Your brand. Logo and look from your brand profile, on your own domain where you have one.
- Your message. Up to 600 characters, if you wrote one.
- The chart wheel. Exactly as frozen, with aspects hidden if you chose to hide them.
- The legend. Points and angles, so the glyphs mean something to a non-astrologer.
- Notes from your astrologer. Your selected excerpts, if any.
- The footer. Expiry and security, stated plainly.
The page is read-only, noindex, and usable without a login. It never adds a structured client name, contact details, birth data, or your internal labels. The only personal detail on it is whatever you deliberately left in the prose you wrote, which is why Astrolium shows you the preview and asks you to confirm it before minting rather than claiming it can scrub prose for you automatically.
The compose panel, in two phases
The panel opens in the right sidebar and stays there. No modal, no separate screen, no Report Studio detour.
Prepare holds the recipient, the message field, the excerpt chooser, the redaction toggles, password, and expiry. The excerpt chooser only offers sources you are independently allowed to read, so a delivery permission never becomes a back door into a colleague's client notes. It shows the private label and date of each source, plus a short preview, and selects nothing for you. Pick up to three. Reorder them. Rewrite them. The note in the client's record stays untouched.
Preview is the client-facing page, the branding note, and a security summary in one view. From there, Create link mints the package and hands you a copyable URL, or Send to client mints it and emails it in one step. If the mail provider accepts the request and then times out, the panel says the delivery status is uncertain and keeps the URL rather than quietly sending twice.
The email
The email repeats the message and the excerpts and links to the same immutable package, so the page and the inbox cannot disagree after the fact.
The subject is a fixed safe form: "Your chart from" plus your name. The client's name appears in the greeting and nowhere else. The preheader, that grey line of text mail clients show in the inbox list, carries no client identity and none of your note prose. A chart delivery should not announce itself on a locked screen.
Managing links after they are sent
Shareable chart links lists the active links for the client you have open: chart type, created date, expiry and status, whether a password is set, and a Revoke action. It never shows another client's links.
Two limits are stated in the product rather than hidden. Copy the URL when the link is created, because tokens are stored as hashes and no old address can be reopened or copied later. And revocation is permanent: a revoked link cannot be restored, so it is the right tool for a relationship that ended or a chart sent by mistake, not a temporary pause.
Where this sits next to Report Studio
The chart package answers "here is your chart, and here is what we said about it." A written report answers "here is the reading." They are separate deliverables with separate mechanics.
Report Studio documents get their own share link with its own expiry, its own disable action, and a view count with a last-viewed date. Chart links keep no view counter. They are the lighter deliverable, minted in under a minute at the end of a session, and the design reflects that.
Versus what you have now
Solar Fire and Astro Gold: PDF export only. No expiry, no revocation, no password, no branding of the client-facing surface, and no way to attach the two sentences the client will actually remember.
TimePassages and other consumer apps: no practitioner-side delivery at all. The client reads their own chart in someone else's app, under someone else's brand.
Astrolium: one reviewed package, previewed before it is sent, with expiry, an optional password, permanent revocation, your branding on the page, and an email that gives nothing away in the subject line.
Where to go from here
The natal chart feature is the wheel this starts from, including the expanded workspace where the second Send to client action lives. The CRM module holds the notes and session summaries the excerpts come from. Report Studio is the longer deliverable for clients who want the full write-up. For the plans, see pricing.
