A fully featured Astrology software for Discord! Astrobot can create a variety of astrological charts and supports a vast array of possibilities. Its features include:
Add Astrobot to your Discord server! -> Invite Astrobot
If you need any help join our support server -> Join Astro Dev
Astrobot can be quite complex to use at first, but once you get the hang of it its quite easy!
Astrobot's default prefix is . and it also works in DMs. You can customize Astrobot's prefix in your server with the prefix command explained below.
Also, if edit your commands Astrobot will edit its response accordingly, and if you delete your command, Astrobot will also delete its response. how cool is that? :3
So lets get started with Astrobot's basic commands:
Use this command to view and/or change Astrobot's prefix in your server. Only server owners can change the prefix.
Examples:
.prefix - shows the current prefix.prefix !! - changes the prefix to !!!!help - use the new prefixIf you ever forget your prefix, you can also use @astrobot as a prefix:
@astrobot prefix - shows the current prefix@astrobot prefix !! - changes the current prefix to !!!!help - use the new prefixKicking Astrobot from your server also resets its prefix.
The help command opens an interactive menu that includes almost everything on this page in an acessible way. It divides the content in sections and pages that can be navigated by clicking on the buttons that show up at the bottom.
Examples:
.help - shows the interactive help menu and displays available optionsclick on the "Charting Commands" button - enters the "Charting Commands" sectionclick on the "Newchart" button - enters the "Newchart" sectionclick on the "Back" button - goes back to the "Charting Commands" sectionclick on the "Openchart" button - enters the "Openchart" sectionclick on the "Back" button - goes back to the "Charting Commands" sectionclick on the "Back" button again - goes back to main menuAnd so on... (easier to see it than to explain it here)
The interactive menu should always work regardless of how old it gets so you can safely open a permanent help menu in a read-only channel and send your users there so they dont need to use it again and again in other channels.
Multiple people can use the same help menu at the same time.
These commands are used to create and manage charts, and are the core feature of Astrobot.
This command lets you create a variety of astrological charts and supports an extensive amount of customization options including biwheels, solar returns, progressions, composites and more!
For starting, lets create a transit chart for a given date:
.newchart 20/10/1995The above command will generate a chart for October 20th 1995 at noon UTC. By default it expects a DD/MM/YYYY date but you can change it to MM/DD/YYYY by using the dateformat option explained in the Settings section.
Now if you want to give it a specific time of the day:
.newchart 20/10/1995, 15:30 or .newchart 20/10/1995, 3:30pmThis will generate a chart for October 20th 1995 at 3:30pm UTC. Both 12h and 24h time formats are supported. In both cases no houses will be shown because the chart lacks a location, so lets give it one:
.newchart 20/10/1995, madrid spain.newchart 20/10/1995, 15:30, madrid spainNow we have a chart for noon and another for 3:30pm both in the madrid timezone, and since we defined a location this time, these charts will also display Houses!
Thats it for the basics of chart making and dont forget the commas between date, time and location (they are important). Now lets check some more advanced features below.
Now lets say we want to create a biwheel, all you have to do is add a + sign at the end of the command (with spaces around it), and then add a new set of data the same way as before:
.newchart 20/10/1995, 15:30, rome italy + 15/5/1992, 6:45am, london ukNow we have a biwheel displaying both charts!
Besides the above Date, Time and Location method, you can also use the keyword now to create a chart for the current date and time. For example:
.newchart now.newchart now, new york.newchart 20/10/1995, 15:30, new york + now, new yorkThis makes it easy to check the current transits, both in a single chart and in a biwheel with another chart. The now keyword can also be extended by adding or removing a number of days from it:
.newchart now+1 - tomorrow.newchart now-1 - yesterday.newchart now+0.5 - 12 hours from nowNote that there should be no spaces around the plus/minus signs in this case.
Astrobot's chart saving system lets you save charts under a name of your choice, as explained in the Savechart section. Once you have a saved chart, you can easily pull it up by name, for example:
.newchart jack.newchart john doe.newchart john doe + now.newchart john doe + jackYou can also load other people's charts, as long as they are public.
Additionally, there are multiple chart options that can be added to the command using the --option=value format. All of these options (with a few obvious exceptions) can be used together in any combination.
These two options let you add and/or remove planets and objects from a chart. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. Additionally, the --remove option includes an ALL keyword to remove all planets. For example:
.newchart now --add=A1,A2 --remove=A2060 - remove Chiron and add Ceres and Pallas.newchart jack --add=A1 + now --add=A1 - add Ceres to both charts.newchart now --remove=ALL --add=P0,P1 - remove everything exept Sun and MoonBecause of the amount of planets and objects that Astrobot supports, it uses an ID system to identify them. To find out which planets and objects are available and how to find them and their respective IDs, check out the Planets section.
This option lets you specify which zodiac or ayanamsa should be used (tropical by default). When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart now --zodiac=D1 - use the draconic (true node) zodiac.newchart jack --zodiac=S1 + now --zodiac=S1 - use the fagan/bradley sidereal zodiac in both chartsCheck the available zodiacs and ayanamsas in the Zodiacs section.
This option lets you specify which house system should be used (placidus by default). When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart now --houses=13 - use the koch house system.newchart jack --houses=24 + now --houses=24 - use the whole signs house system for both chartsCheck the available house systems in the Houses section.
This option lets you manually specify a timezone, which overrides any automatic timezone if applicable. A timezone can be specified by a TZData identifier or by a number of offset minutes. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart 5/5/2015, 16:00 --timezone=America/New_York - use the america/new_york timezone identifier.newchart 5/5/2015, 16:00 --timezone=+50 + 7/7/2016, 16:00 --timezone=-50 - use UTC+00:50 on the first chart and UTC-00:50 on the second chartThis option lets you create a solar return chart by specifying a year and optionally a location. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --return=2021 - john's solar return for 2021 in his birth place.newchart john --return=2021, london uk - john's solar return for 2021 in london.newchart john --return=2021, london uk + jack --return=2021, madrid spain - biwheel john's solar return for 2021 in london and jack's solar return for 2021 in madridThis option lets you create a return chart for any planet, by specifying a planet ID, a search direction and a date-time-location separated by commas. Available search directions are current, next and closest. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --return2=P1, next, now - john's next lunar return starting from the current date and time.newchart jack --return2=P2, closest, 5/5/2025, lisbon portugal - jack's mercury return closest to 5/5/2025 in lisbon portugal.newchart john --return2=P5, current, now + jack --return2=P5, current, now - biwheel john's most recent jupiter return with jacks most recent jupiter returnThis option lets you create a progressed chart using the secondary progression method. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --progression=1/1/2025 - john's secondary progressed chart for 1/1/2025.newchart john + john --progression=now - john's birth chart in a biwheel with his current secondary progressed chartThis option lets you create a "persona" chart for a specific planet. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --persona=P5 - john's jupiter persona chart.newchart john --persona=P5 + john --persona=P6 - john's jupiter persona chart biwheeled with john's saturn persona chartThis option lets you create a "design" chart as seen in the Human Design System. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --design - john's design chart.newchart john + john --design - john's birth chart in a biwheel which his design chartThis option lets you set the chart's coordinate system between Geocentric, Topocentric and Heliocentric. When used on biwheels, this option affects each chart independently. For example:
.newchart john --coordinates=heliocentric - john's heliocentric chart.newchart john --coordinates=geocentric + john --coordinates=topocentric - biwheel john's chart in geocentric and topocentric coordinatesThis option lets you change the resolution of the resulting chart image as well as the scale of the fonts and gyphs on the chart. For example:
.newchart now --size=2000 - set the chart resolution to 2000x2000 pixels.newchart jack + now --size=1500,120 - set the chart resolution to 1500x1500 pixels and the font scaling to 120%This option lets you change the chart's color theme. There are three built-in themes: classic, elements and rainbow. For example:
.newchart now --theme=classic - use the classic theme for this chartAdditionally, custom themes can be created as a premium feature, check the Premium section.
This option lets you change the chart's orb values. There are three built-in orbs: astrobot, astro.com and strict. For example:
.newchart now --orbs=strictAdditionally, custom orbs can be created as a premium feature, check the Premium section
This option lets you define which aspects should be enabled in the chart. For example:
.newchart now --aspects=trine,sextile,square - show only trines, sextiles and squaresA full list of supported aspects can be found in the Aspects section.
These options let you disable or re-enable a planet's aspect points. Additionally, they include an ALL keyword for selecting all planets. For example:
.newchart now --disable=P0,P1,P2 - disable aspects for sun, moon and mercury.newchart jack + now --enable=A1 - re-enable aspects to Ceres if disabled.newchart john --disable=ALL --enable=P0,P1 - disable aspects for all planets except Sun and MoonThis option lets you turn a biwheel into a composite chart using the midpoint composite method. For example:
.newchart jack + john --composite - create a midpoint composite between jack and johnThis option lets you load a set of options from a preset. There are two built-in presets: default and original. When using biwheels, this option can be set separately for both charts. For example:
.newchart jack --preset=default - show this chart using the default settings.newchart jack --preset=original - show this chart in its original state, using the same settings it was saved with.newchart jack --preset=myPreset - show this chart using a custom preset.newchart jill --preset=myPreset + jack --preset=original - show jill's chart with a custom preset in a biwheel with jack's chart in its original stateCheck out the Presets section to learn how to create and manage your custom presets.
This option lets you view more details about the chart or charts. When viewing other people's charts, any personal information will be redacted. For example
.newchart john --chartinfo - view more information about john's chart
This command loads a saved chart in its original state, exactly as it was when it was saved. It is essentially a shortcut for --preset=original, it can only open saved charts and doesnt support additional options. For example:
.openchart daniel - show daniel's chart in its original stateThis command lets you save the last chart you created under a name of your choice. All names are case sensitive and must not include commas, double dashes nor slashes. Mentions will be converted to Discord IDs For example:

More information about Astrobot, including how its planet ID system works, all available house systems, zodiacs, aspects and more.
Astrobot uses an ID system due to the sheer amount of planets and objects it supports.
Each planet and object has a unique ID starting with an object type represented by a letter:
| Object Type | Descripton |
|---|---|
| P | Planets and special objects |
| A | Asteroids |
| S | Stars |
| H | Hypothetical Planets |
| C | Comets |
| L | Arabic parts/lots |
| T | Artificial Satellites |
Asteroids and Artificial Satellites use the same numbering system they are commonly known to use (MPC Designation for Asteroids, SATCAT number for Satellites). Other object types do not follow any known numbering system and are instead organized either alphabetically, by importance, on a "first comes" basis or by any combination of those.
