About Us

AngelVow does one narrow thing: it uses the standards of traditional face reading and Chinese astrology to help you see three things a little more clearly — how to begin, whether to carry on, and how to keep it. Below we set out what we offer, what it rests on, what we will not do, and how the results you get should be used.

1What we do

The hardest part of love is not that you don't know what to do; it is that you have to make a judgement without enough to go on. What did he actually mean by that line, is this person reliable, is there anything left in this relationship — all you have are scattered fragments, so you turn them over and over, and the more you think the more tangled it gets.

We have taken the ways of looking that traditional face reading and Chinese astrology have used for a very long time and shaped them into three tools you can use straight away. They do not make the decision for you; they do one thing only: they turn a vague feeling into items you can check against.

None of the three tools needs registration or a login. Of the three, the Reply Helper is completely free, with no limit on how often you use it.

2What our judgements rest on

The face reading side rests on the traditional twelve palaces: the Spouse Palace for how steady a bond is and how the two of you wear in, the Life Palace for a person's standards in choosing and the spirit they carry, the Palace of Home for where a sense of settledness comes from, and each remaining palace with the office tradition gives it. The astrology side uses the ordinary methods of the birth chart and the five elements producing and restraining one another.

These are frameworks for looking that have been handed down, not experimental science. Their worth lies in offering you an angle you would not have thought of yourself, so that you slow down and look more closely — not in handing you a conclusion that is bound to come true.

So every reading we give sets out plainly what the real sticking point is right now and what to do next and when, rather than tossing you a single line like "the two of you are well matched" or "there is romance for you this year".

3What we will not do

4How the results should be used

In one line: take them as one angle to consider, not as a conclusion.

The better way to use them is this — take the few things the reading names and hold them against what you have actually observed. Where they match, your instinct had something behind it and you can go on with more confidence; where they do not, go by the facts in front of you. Face reading is never a match for the behaviour you have seen with your own eyes.

All content and results on this site are offered for cultural interest and entertainment only and are not a basis for any decision, nor do they constitute professional medical, legal, marital or investment advice. Where a major life choice is involved, let your own judgement lead, and turn to a professional in the relevant field where that is needed.

5About the name AngelVow

The Vow in AngelVow means an oath, a promise. What we mean by it is not that an angel will guarantee you anything, but the opposite — the only promises that ever count are the ones two people make themselves. The tools only help you see the present stretch a little more clearly; whether you are willing to go on, and how much you are willing to give, is a step only you can take.
