Personalized self-knowledge books
If Life were a game, what would your character be like?
Each of us is born with unique potentials. From your date, time, and place of birth, we draw personalized books, written for you: mirrors for reflection.
Meet your character from €55.
A character, a player
If Life were a game, we might say that each of us receives a character at birth: a last name, a first name, a family, a temperament, impulses, pitfalls that keep coming back.
Our books describe that character to you, then invite you to become its player: the one who knows it well enough to steer it, rather than being steered by it.
Eight systems in dialogue, illuminated by psychoanalysis and psychology
Each system sheds light on one side of the character. The Book of the Character brings them into dialogue and reads them in the light of psychoanalysis and psychology. Want to put it into practice? The Practical User Manual of the Character goes with you. Want to explore the approach first? The Essential Booklet. And The Tale speaks to the inner child.
Each system has its own page: where it comes from, what it rests on, what it is for.
Etymology of first namesWhat your first names and surname tell, from their roots to their sound.
Western astrologyThe sky at your birth: planets, signs, houses, and aspects.
NumerologyThe numbers of your birth date and name: life path, cycles, years.
Chinese astrology & Ba ZiThe four pillars of your birth and the balance of the five elements.
Human DesignYour type and your own way of deciding and using your energy.
Vedic astrologyThe sky of India: your Moon, your birth star, and your great cycles.
Gene KeysEleven keys of your profile: in each, a shadow that hides a gift.
Maya astrology & DreamspellYour sign in the sacred 260-day calendar, and its oracle.

A tale for your inner child
Your story told as a tale, for the inner child: to read on your own or with the family.
Included in:Practical User Manual of the CharacterBook of the CharacterComplete Pack
Overview and contentsCloseYour story told as a tale, for the inner child. The hero or heroine resembles you: their gifts, fears, and quest come from your character, carried over into a story world. To read on your own or with the family, in the browser like a book you leaf through, or as a PDF.
The Hero's Journey, the backbone of the tale
The tale follows the Hero's Journey. In 1949, Joseph Campbell compared the myths of cultures that never met and found the same pattern in them: a departure, an initiation, a return. Christopher Vogler later condensed it into twelve stages, which became the framework of many films.
In 1990, Maureen Murdock, a student of Campbell, described another arc, The Heroine's Journey: a conquest that rings hollow, a descent, then reconciliation with what had been left behind. The two arcs are not divided by gender: the tale follows the one your path calls for.
The hero is not the one who wins: it is the one who comes back and brings something home. The tale tells what your character could bring back.

What our books are
Tools for personal reflection. They don't predict the future and don't claim to say who you are: they offer avenues for reflection, and you remain the sole judge of what speaks to you. They don't replace the advice of a doctor, a psychologist, or another professional.

Create my characterFrequently asked questions
What if I don't know my time of birth?
Check “I don't know the time of birth” in the form: the book is then calculated for noon. Numerology, etymology and Maya astrology do not need the time. For the other systems, what depends on it becomes approximate, and the book says so each time: the ascendant, the astrological houses, the hour pillar in Chinese astrology, some cycle dates. The time of birth is usually written on the long-form birth certificate, available from the vital records office of the place of birth.
Who writes the books?
Our books are written in two voices. Our programs calculate your charts, then our computer assistant (AI), Claude, writes your books from these calculations and our method. The method and the reference texts are written and reviewed by our team. We prefer to say so plainly: trust begins with transparency. To learn more: about us.
How many pages?
The Essential Booklet has 40 to 50 A5 pages. The Practical User Manual of the Character has about 110 to 120 A5 pages, and the Book of the Character 200 to 300 A5 pages, depending on what your character has to say. The Character Sheet fits on 4 A4 pages, and the tale on about ten illustrated pages.
What do you do with my data?
They are used only to write your books, and are never sold: only the service providers needed to produce them receive them. The website, your data and your books are hosted in France, by Clever Cloud. The text is written with Claude (Anthropic), the illustrations with OpenAI; both services process data in the United States, within the framework set by the GDPR. You choose to keep your data for 30 days or 3 years, and you can ask for it to be deleted at any time. All the details are in our privacy policy.
How long does it take to receive my book?
PDF books arrive by email, usually 3 to 5 days after payment, and no later than 15 days after. Printed books arrive no later than 30 days after payment in France and the European Union, and 40 days elsewhere.
Can I give it as a gift?
Yes, in two ways. If you know the person's date, time and place of birth, and they agree, you order for them: they receive their books with your message. Otherwise, give a gift code: they will order themselves, whenever they like, within 12 months.
In which languages?
In French, English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. You choose the language of the books when you order, whatever the language of the website.
