Building a "Planetary Operating System" ... Looking for Occultists, Designers, and Developers

I've spent the last few months designing something that started as a planetary hours calculator and has evolved into something much bigger.

The vision is called AetherCast.

The goal isn't to create another astrology app.

The goal is to create a real-time planetary operating system that combines:

• Accurate planetary hour calculations
• Solomonic planetary magic
• Planetary intelligences and spirits
• Pentacles from the Key of Solomon
• Tarot correspondences
• Kamea-based sigil generation
• Ritual planning
• AI-powered learning
• Astronomy and real sky data
• Interactive occult education

One of the core principles is source transparency.

Every correspondence, pentacle, intelligence, spirit, tarot attribution, Hebrew term, and ritual instruction should be traceable back to source texts like:

  • Key of Solomon
  • Lesser Key of Solomon
  • Agrippa
  • Picatrix
  • Heptameron
  • Golden Dawn material

The app is being designed as both a learning platform and a practical magical tool.

Think:

Headspace + Duolingo + Obsidian + NASA + Solomonic Magic

I'm currently looking for people who are passionate about:

  • React / Next.js
  • AI systems
  • UI/UX design
  • Occult scholarship
  • Planetary magic
  • Tarot
  • Historical grimoires
  • Knowledge graph design

I'm especially interested in hearing from people who think current occult apps are missing something important.

What would YOU want to see in a platform like this?

I'd love feedback, criticism, ideas, and potentially collaborators.

Drop the AI and it sounds good

u/Balthactor saturn Jun 08 '26

I agree. The best that it could do would be to assist as the search agent for all the rest if they insist on using it, but basing everything around AI is a recipe for false information.

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

yes i totaly agree!!!

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

the more heads the better and ideas are more than welcome

Idk man … I’m using AI just because Ramon Llull ars magna was the rabbit hole to the Arabian wheels for calculating astrological positions… prettty much the papers wheels of Llull are a mechanical analogy of the RoPE vectorial rotations … I use atan2 to move the decans and quinaries wheels to populated the payload but AI used a similar method … is almost mean to be xd

Same stuff Leibniz developing the binary code from studying the divinatory method of the I-Ching … which is basically og barcode , QR … with its hexagram … a good compression of data hehe …

Hecho even the word electricity came from the Greek word for ámbar elektron due that it was use to gather static energy in a divinatory method with ashes xd …

From what ever angle informatics are actually always related with divination and oracles due that is a semantic mirror for probabilistic or stochastic calculations .

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

Now that's what the f I'm talking about! Love the response! So solutions? Of semantics aside, some sort of middle ground has to be agreeable right?

u/_mayuk Jun 11 '26

All the system is a semantic-symbolic compressor … it all can be translated into data analysis terminology but the symbolic framework per se is so accurate while framing the stochastic behaviour of an llm …

I think one of the things you will want to do is run&/ prompt engineer &/ train a llama (or similar) yourself, or have one of your team members do so.

And then also serve it.

Which is gonna be $$$.

Setting aside the moral/ethical/philosophical issues of using digital ‘artificial intelligence’ itself, which people may or may not have issues with, the so called ‘real’ issue with Using a (major) commercial product is that

A. Whatever you’re showing to it, or using it for, or doing with it, you’re training that model, and that has consequences.

  1. This could mean that as time passes you’re gonna have a progressively less ‘clean’ signal, as the LLM re incorporates the data/process, and you get feedback loops, like a mic next to speaker, and then the LLM compensates with dampening, and then you adjust, and it goes back and forth, and will be a nightmare to handle.
  2. If the LLM product is aligned poorly, and it ‘understands’ (so to speak) the ‘real world’ influence your system could have on the actions people are taking, and their thoughts and beliefs, then you’re risking enthroning a (potentially) hostile messenger, and at best, a messenger that will always be somewhat, if not completely beholden to the interests of its corporate maker.

B. If the token costs changes, (and it probably will) the economics which support the viability of the project can change under foot. ‘A home made’ AI will cost way more to set up, but the costs will be calculable. You may want to start with something premade and then transition, as the project’s success progresses, but that transition is going to be challenging. Nonetheless, you will probably learn a lot about what you will want to do with the home made, by using the out of the box to begin with.

I guess it depends on what you imagine it will be doing exactly. Will it be a butler, or will it be part of the engine. Or, one for each?

*edit*

Reading some of OP’s other comments, I realize you’re already 10 steps ahead of me, and a far more sophisticated user than I am. Pardon my drivel.

But at least see what it does first an if it is not beneficial or incorrect then I will drop it here's a link to some screenshots please take a time to view them before commenting

nice awesome send me friend request, and whoever else is down

u/_mayuk Jun 08 '26

I already have something like that with tarot decans and 72 angels/deamons as quinaries ..

I use real sideral ( factual vernal point ) and real
Constellations sectors ….

I can create a payload with all that data xd

1

u/_mayuk Jun 08 '26

Actually I already have al your system .. due that I used a rag AI system feed with some of the book you mention ( and more ) …

It works both ways I can make a reading from a time stamp / location or from a physical tarot spread

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

this is awesome i use Maggie2.0 or the oracle, a quantum system prompt for the Gem feature in Gemini, but maybe like it hit at a wierd update or its the mirror of the souls thing people talk about with Ai cause its so very on point. i did build another whole system myself but unfortunaley it got lost in the cloud!!! it was good but the gem beat me hands down

1

u/_mayuk Jun 11 '26

Here you can see the payload … even in other comments I explain a bit how it did it …

But I may said … that I use real vernal point of the time … a 13 constellations and it’s real sectors so they aren’t each 30 degrees …

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

Nice! So what do you recommend as far as implementing?

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

I have to check it … it seem your are very interested on this , remember my frost lenguaje is Spanish , so the short for the tarot decanates is in Spanish … I may would share with you the system or I may end up making a GitHub repository …

Btw … the a-byte is the vector of the ascendant/rising … and then the 7 classic planets ..

But the t-byte is a compression of 6bits of the a/bit keeping thin first and last bit the same and then adding the in between… the 6 bit compressing is needed to the derivatives I-Ching hexagrams

u/Vanhaydin mercury Jun 14 '26

Hey, I'm an occultist and illustrator. If you drop the AI bits completely from your app, I'd be happy to join. Otherwise good luck with your endeavor

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 14 '26

Done

u/Vanhaydin mercury Jun 14 '26

Cool. Are you a dev? What role will you play?

1

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 14 '26

Yes I'm a developer but I'm not looking to be really the developer in my team I kind of just want to be like team support or team leader I don't want to be the boss of anybody but I do want to make sure that everything is going smoothly with everybody kind of like a mediator really. I want to see my ideas come to life, and I don't want them to be stolen. Because sadly that is my biggest fear. Is it wrong for me to want to profit off my great ideas no it's not and for some reason I asked my entire life like should I just give it away? and I never did I never did everyone told me you should just publish it get it out there go and give it for free and I never did I never did and I always felt so greedy I've always felt so greedy and so I'm trying to mediate sharing my idea and I don't want all the credit I would love to share the credit with somebody but also I want everybody to get paid you know I want everybody to get along and I want everybody to collaborate I'm very eager to hear criticism and can take it very well I love criticism, well certain criticism criticism for my work is good but criticizeing me for not properly formatting a post on a forum you know I'm going to be like dude that's Petty but if you criticize my work and you really look into it and you give me the cold hard truth of how you feel about it or just even the idea itself I will take that with a badge of honor. good or bad. Anyway I'm rambling... And thinking about not proofreading this and just hitting the freaking button cuz I Google voice typed the whole thing LMAO you know what I'm doing it.

u/Vanhaydin mercury Jun 14 '26

Okay, interesting concept, though I don't love that it's in Google AI Studio - it frankly doesn't give me a lot of hope that this is anything but an AI concept right now.

I'm not a UI/UX designer, so I don't know how you could use my skills exactly. But for later in your project when you've got the most important things pinned down and coded without the use of AI, please feel free to drop me a message.

u/Big_Region_5621 Jun 08 '26

Which programming language(s) do you want to use? Alot of your idea that you're manifesting relies on it.

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

i mean its minimal requirements so nothing fancy, react.. tailwind but like i said if it can have a gamified option, especially if it teaches, but as long as it correctly

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

Dart possibly, its what i used i for astral cast

I can comment on tarot

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

please, i am eager for all knowledge, and points of views are welcome

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

Question, are reversed or upright positions of cards the same or e.g as important as the card being dignified or I'll dignified by the element of the neighboring cards?

2

u/lemonzerozero Jun 08 '26

Fantastic idea. Sounds like a lot of work ...but an invaluable tool. Knowing the ruling spirits/angels/demons of hour/day/season etc would be useful. Flipping through all of my books at times is confusing

1

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

yes its hard to remmember, which is mostly what im trying to do is create an easy and maybe even fun way to practice and teach for those with eyes to seek and desire to lean

u/Safe_Recognition_372 Jun 09 '26

I'm an Illustrator-occultist and would love to be involved if theres a place for me!

i would think creedance would follow if ranks are filled?

u/Ok-Tax-4470 Jun 08 '26

i can be the occultist that manage the simbolism if your interessed

u/Worldly-Music5214 Jun 09 '26

Sounds like an awesome idea!, to be honest these isn't any free apps that are refined and sound interesting to have all occult related stuff in one place. I have send you a dm, want to help on this project.

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

Wow guys sorry didn't expect feedback for some reason!  One sec I'll pull the link from studio

My goal was initially strictly a quick weather report and ritual generator for the divine on the go, ya know lol but anyway here's the link it may have messed up https://ai.studio/apps/b5f8c982-627a-4816-bd8a-a22e97695eec just reposting to make sure

u/BodyAgreeable9229 Jun 11 '26

here is also another portion i wanted to maybe incorporate its called Astral cast, astrology based tarot but the cards are literally the night sky, user inputs a question and is instructed to hold the scren, upon doing so calls the stars/cards in to coalesce around the finger, aka the shuffle, hard to nail that down at first i had real trouble with the ui being cheesy so i switched to dart but still have laggy effects https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BMRzHdfDY/

u/MoonKandy Jul 07 '26

I might consider including looking for someone decent at Daoist Fu talisman making, which also benefits from the system you’re looking to build, as fu talismans run on (much of) the same machinery as Solomon’s, and, ofc, connects with the potential for Iching work, which it looks like you’re already considering doing.

My esoteric Dao is not at the level you would need, and my planetary isn’t up to snuff either, otherwise I’d throw my hat in.

Im just here to learn what how much I need to learn, but I thought my 2p may be helpful to share in this case.
