The self, in relation.
Two charts, read as architecture rather than chemistry. Each of you has an innate way of giving love and an innate way of receiving it, and each of those lives in a particular room. The question isn't whether you're compatible. It's whether the way one of you loves arrives in a room the other is actually standing in.
The question underneath
Most couples who feel like they're failing aren't failing. One of them is loving hard in a room the other one never goes into. It reads as indifference from the outside and as invisibility from the inside, and both people conclude that something is wrong with them.
This turns that into a floor plan. Not a verdict on the relationship, a description of where each of you is standing when you reach for the other one.
Why this is not a synastry reading
Synastry lays one chart over another and reads the angles where planets touch. It begins with the geometry.
HEIR begins somewhere else: how does each of you receive love, how does each of you give it, and what would each of you go to war to protect? Three functions per person. The assessment is organised around those before a single angle is measured, which means it finds things in places where there is no aspect to find.
And it runs every question twice, once in each direction. How your love reaches them and how theirs reaches you are not one event seen from two sides. They are two events, and usually one is going better than the other.
HEIR does not assess relationships. It maps the geometry between two people and hands the choice back.

What arrives
The two architectures
How each of you gives love, how each of you must receive it to feel it, and what each of you defends when it's threatened.
The rooms
Where those languages live in each chart, and where they land, or miss, in the other's.
Written and voiced
No fewer than 5,000 words as a PDF. The voiced edition is a separate text, extended for the ear and performed by the studio's fixed cast of narrator voices. Under 26 minutes, so you can go through it together.
How it goes
- One of you buys it.Both of you should know it's happening. I won't read someone who hasn't agreed to be read.
- Both birth records come in.Date, exact time, and city for each person.
- It's built.Turnaround is up to 26 days, and up to 44 for film commissions, from the day the second record lands.
- It arrives.One document addressed to the two of you.
What it isn't
- Not synastry, and not a compatibility score. Nothing here rates the relationship.
- Not a verdict on whether to stay or go. That was never this studio's to issue.
- Not couples counselling, and not a substitute for it.
- Not for reading someone without their knowledge. Both people consent or it isn't built.
A sample
Both forms, drawn from the founder's own chart alongside her partner's, published with that partner's permission. A relational assessment describes two people, so nothing here is published without both of them agreeing to it.
An excerpt
Rimari's Chiron is at 8° Virgo 02'. Mia's Sun is at 8° Pisces 06'. That is an opposition with an orb of four minutes of arc. And Mia's Moon lives in the 5th house, the exact house where Rimari's Chiron lives.
Gemini and Virgo are the same planet's two faces. Gemini Moon receives love through commentary. Virgo Chiron was injured by commentary on the output. Which means one single act is simultaneously Mia feeding herself and the exact shape of Rimari's original wound.
Same words. The difference between medicine and re-injury is not content. It is vector.
Hear the voiced edition
Roughly three minutes of the voiced edition, performed by the studio's cast.
Both people named in this sample consented in writing to its publication. The same two-party consent is required before any HEIR assessment begins.

One form
The same love-architecture, received two ways. Pick the one the two of you will actually sit with.
Written
No fewer than 5,000 words as a PDF, addressed to you both. Yours to return to when something between you changes.

Begin voicedBoth forms
The written assessment and the voiced edition. Two different objects made from two charts, not one object delivered twice.
Both forms + film
Everything above, plus the two architectures animated: a commissioned film of how your rooms meet.
Film commissions share the monthly cap with individual assessments. When they're taken, the film closes until next month.
Already have one form? The other form and the film can be added later. Write to hello@articulatedoffering.com for an upgrade link priced as the difference.
Do you both already hold your individual assessments? Then the relational assessment alone is $260: the two architectures exist; what's left to build is the space between them. Write to hello@articulatedoffering.com.
Payment is handled by Stripe. Both birth records are collected on the next screen. Purchases are governed by the Client Services Agreement.
