Health

What Health measures

Health measures physical resilience, recovery speed and mental stamina together, which is unusual — the chart does not separate body from nerve, and a reading here covers both. It is the axis most shaped by protective formations rather than by individual stars: the strongest contributions come from shielding pairs that only count when both halves appear, so charts tend to read either notably defended or notably exposed rather than somewhere in the middle. One condition in the engine is deliberately counter-intuitive and worth knowing about, because it credits certain disruptive stars in the Health palace as a clearing rather than a threat. Nothing on this axis is a medical statement. It describes how a chart handles strain, which is a different and much older question.

Vessel Stats are one of the four readings Bond Level 2 unlocks. They are scored from a full birth chart, so the hour, day and month all matter — a birth year on its own produces no chart and therefore no scores.

The five Health bands

The band widths are the same for all six axes, so a reading is comparable across them.

What raises Health

Every star carries a weight for this axis, and where it lands multiplies that weight again. The third column is the part a radar chart cannot show: what else the same star pulls on, and therefore what a chart built for Health tends to be spending.

20 of 31 shown, heaviest first. The remaining 11 carry lighter weights for this axis.

What lowers Health

Where a star has to land to count

The same star is worth far more in one palace than another. These are the multipliers for Health — a star outside all of them still counts, at a fraction of its weight.

Rank multiplies everything on top of that: an S-rank placement scores 12 where a C scores 1 and a D subtracts 3.

Pairs that lift Health

Some contributions exist only when two specific stars appear together, which means a chart can be quietly strong here in a way no single placement reveals.

• Sky-Earth Shield — divine protection+6
• Guardian Shield — layered protection+5
• Vitality Engine — endurance + recovery+5

The other five axes

The six are normalised against a shared budget, so they are read against each other rather than on an absolute scale. A tall reading on one is paid for by a shorter one elsewhere.

• Leadership— Ability to withstand pressure, command authority, and influence others.
• Fortune— Capacity to attract resources, manage assets, and retain earnings.
• Intellect— Capacity for learning, planning, analysis, and problem-solving.
• Charisma— Diplomacy, attraction, negotiation skills, and popularity.
• Resilience— Willpower, adversity endurance, and ability to recover from setbacks.

Frequently asked

What is Health in a birth chart?

Physical resilience, recovery speed, and mental stamina. Health measures physical resilience, recovery speed and mental stamina together, which is unusual — the chart does not separate body from nerve, and a reading here covers both. It is the axis most shaped by protective formations rather than by individual stars: the strongest contributions come from shielding pairs that only count when both halves appear, so charts tend to read either notably defended or notably exposed rather than somewhere in the middle.

Nothing on this axis is a medical statement. It describes how a chart handles strain, which is a different and much older question.

What raises Health?

31 of the catalogue's stars carry weight for it, led by Stamina Crystal, Recovery Crystal, Earth Crystal. Where the star lands matters as much as which star it is: a placement in Health counts for full weight, and rank multiplies everything — an S-rank placement is worth 12 where a C is worth 1, and 20 stars pull the other way.

Can every stat be high at once?

No, and that is deliberate. The six are normalised against a fixed budget, so they are read against each other rather than on an absolute scale — a chart strong everywhere would say nothing. 30 of the stars feeding Health also feed another axis, so a chart built for this one is usually visibly shaped, not evenly filled.

What do the Health bands mean?

Exceptional (S) from 85 up; Strong (A) from 70 to 84; Balanced (B) from 55 to 69; Developing (C) from 40 to 54; Challenging (D) from 0 to 39. The five bands are the same widths for all six axes, so a reading is comparable across them.
