AstroCarto Starter
AstroCarto Starter is a focused map-download purchase: use it when you want an HD map image and the offered planetary-line access, rather than ongoing city research, complete reports, or paid AI readings. Check the offer shown at the download step; a Starter purchase does not grant all Pro or Ultimate features.
When is Starter suitable for my task?
Starter fits a concrete output: keep a clear image of your astrocartography map to review, share, or print. You can generate the core map before purchasing, then decide whether the download and included lines meet that task. Paying for a map image does not also generate a written location recommendation.
| What you want to do | Is Starter the appropriate starting point? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Save an HD image of the map you have generated | Yes, when Starter is offered at the download step | Its map-download access covers that output. Check the input and visible map before exporting. |
| Explore the core map without needing a file yet | Start free | You can decide whether a paid output is needed after viewing the map. |
| Repeatedly check cities or compare a shortlist | Compare Pro | Starter does not include unlimited city checks or comparisons. A map image is not a city comparison result. |
| Generate complete Personal Astrocartography Reports or use paid AI readings | Compare the included report and AI access in Pro | Starter does not include those report allowances or AI credits. |
| Read complete Find My Best Places or AI City Comparison reports, or reopen cloud AI chat history | Compare Ultimate on pricing | Those complete outputs and cloud-history access are outside Starter's map offer. |
A useful test is to write one sentence: “I need a readable map file,” or “I need to research and interpret several cities.” Starter can meet the first task; the second needs a closer look at the research actions you intend to use. A higher price alone is not a reason to choose another plan.
What does the current Starter map offer include?
Starter includes HD map download and the offered Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto lines. These lines add map information to inspect; they do not mean that every place near them is suitable for your goal. Read a line in its location and angle context using the interactive-map guide.
| Included action | What you receive | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Download your generated map | A map image through Download Map, including HD PNG or JPG choices | The intended birth details, visible lines, area, and readable labels. Follow map export steps. |
| Inspect the included planetary lines | Additional lines on the map to investigate | Select the relevant line and read its meaning and location context; a line alone is not a complete city verdict. |
| Keep the exported file | A file saved by your browser on your device | Open it and verify that it contains the intended map. It does not preserve interactive controls, a report, or a cloud conversation. |
A concrete output example: keeping a map for an upload
An existing teaching export uses synthetic birth details: 15 January 1990, 12:15, London. It produced a 3200 × 2000 PNG and a JPG with the same dimensions and matching input. The PNG was about 2.23 MB; the JPG was about 0.67 MB. These are previously checked export files, not a new Starter purchase or checkout test.
For a destination limited to 1 MB, that example's JPG fits while its PNG does not. Open the file at the size you intend to use and check the small labels and thin lines before uploading; keep the PNG when you want the larger reference file. Your own file sizes can differ. If the upload succeeds, you have completed the map-file task—you have not yet obtained a written reading or compared cities.
What does Starter leave separate?
The current Starter offer adds map access; it does not provide a general research allowance. Keep the following limits separate from anything your account already held before this purchase.
| Item | Starter's scope | What this means for your next action |
|---|---|---|
| Complete Personal Astrocartography Reports | No included report allowance | A free preview and a map export are not complete Personal Reports. |
| Personal Birth Chart Reading | No included report allowance | It is a different document from the map and has its own access requirements. |
| AI credits and paid AI readings | No included AI credits or paid-reading access | Starter does not make follow-up questions unlimited. Any separately available trial or pre-existing account access must be checked on its own terms. |
| Stored birth details | Starter does not increase the free one-person capacity | Saving a city is not saving another person's birth details. An account with other purchases can have a different capacity. |
| Unlimited city tools, shared places, move timing, and Where Planets Work Together | Not included in the Starter map offer | Access to a map image does not establish access to these research workflows. |
| Current-chat TXT export and cloud AI chat history | Not included | Neither follows automatically from map-download access. |
For a blocked action, use the action-specific access guide. For a remaining quantity, first identify whether it is a report allowance, stored-person slot, or AI credit balance. Those units cannot replace one another.
Starter also does not correct uncertain birth data. Check the known input before exporting, and keep an unknown or approximate birth time identified as such. Purchasing the map cannot make a guessed time exact.
Where do I find the actual Starter offer?
Use the map's download entry. Starter is an offer tied to that action, so you may not see it beside the general plans on every pricing screen. This Help page is not a checkout link and does not maintain a second fixed price.
- Open the map generator, enter the intended birth details, and generate your map.
- Check the map's input and the view you want to keep. Choose Download Map; sign in if requested.
- If map-download access is missing, inspect the offer shown for that action. When Starter appears, compare its included download and lines with the output you need.
- Read the amount, currency, included items, and payment terms shown before continuing. If Starter is not offered in your current situation, use the available choices or current pricing; do not create a guessed checkout URL.
- After a confirmed purchase, return to the map and choose the export you need. If the map session is no longer open, generate the intended map from its birth details before exporting again.
You do not need to purchase merely to follow these Help instructions. Stop at the offer if you are still deciding what output you need.
What should I do after purchasing Starter?
Return to Download Map in the purchasing account, select the file format, and open the saved file to check its input, labels, and area. A saved image belongs in your device's download location; it is not a Personal Report in My Astrology Reports. Use saved-object guidance if you are unsure what was retained.
If payment is unclear or the map remains locked, check purchase status and account records before buying again. Match the purchasing account, the order, and the exact download message; keep its transaction reference for support.
If you now need repeated city research, use the Pro task comparison. For complete discovery or comparison reports and cloud AI history, compare Ultimate on current pricing. Choose around the missing action, not around the fact that you have already paid for a different output.
An account-specific upgrade offer can differ from a new full-plan purchase. Use the amount and benefits actually shown to your account; do not calculate an upgrade price yourself or assume that every older Starter order receives the quantities in today's new-plan description. Your earlier map purchase and a later research purchase are distinct records to check.
Use Ultimate's task comparison to check whether its extra outputs or capacity solve your next requirement.
