The Shadow Decoder
Your Birth Chart. Six Key Shadows. Your Gifts Unlocked.
You already know there’s more to your astrology than “what’s your sign.”
Beneath the light of your chart live shadows - those hidden places where shame, insecurity, and doubt quietly shape your story.
The Shadow Decoder reveals six of the most potent thresholds: where your identity, your drive, and your deepest wounds intersect with your power.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
Because the same places that hold your shadows also hold your deepest gifts.
The Shadow Decoder is your entry into a new way of working with your chart - one that honours both the darkness and the light, and shows you how one can be transmuted into the other.
What The Shadow Decoder Is
A personalised astrology reading of six life‑shaping placements: • Rising • Sun • Moon • Mars • Pluto • Chiron.
The Shadow Decoder is powered by a custom astrology API I’ve designed myself.
A mirror that reflects both your hidden struggles and untapped strengths.
A guide that gives you language for the shame and insecurities you’ve carried - and pathways into resilience and empowerment.
A tool for transformation - whether you’re new to astrology or already deep in it.
Why The Shadow Decoder Is Different
You’ve probably seen a flood of “AI astrology” tools online. Most pull from generic web interpretations or surface-level content.
The Shadow Decoder is not that.
I’ve personally developed a custom astrology API that calculates your chart directly from your exact birth time, date, and place. That data is then woven through my own framework and voice - not random web searches, not generic ChatGPT outputs.
This means:
You’re receiving authentic astrology data, not approximations.
Every interpretation is built from my own frameworks, wisdom, and language.
It reflects how I would guide you in a 1:1 session - delivered instantly.
This isn’t AI telling you who you are. This is me, giving you access to a tool I’ve built to bring astrology and shadow work together in a way that’s instant, accessible, and deeply transformative.
What You’ll Receive
When you enter your birth details (date, time, and location), The Shadow Decoder generates a personalised reading of 6 key placements using Tropical Astrology and the Whole Signs House system.
You’ll receive a reading for each 6 placements - Rising, Sun, Moon, Mars, Pluto and Chiron, built through my signature framework:
Essence – The truth of the placement in its pure form.
Shadow – The patterns of fear, shame, insecurity, or limitation.
Gift – The strengths, wisdom, and empowerment hidden inside the shadow.
Invitation – How to integrate the shadow into light, and embody your highest potential.
You’ll walk away with a complete reading across these key chart placements - a keepsake you can return to again and again.
Why The Shadow Decoder Matters
Because both things are true:
You hold darkness, doubts, and blocks that sometimes keep you small.
You also hold wisdom, gifts, and brilliance waiting to be fully lived.
The Shadow Decoder doesn’t shy away from either. It shows you both sides and hands you the keys to transmute shadow into strength.
This is the work of liberation.
Of coming home to yourself.
Of Becoming.

You are not broken.
You are right on time.
If you’re ready to meet your shadows and reclaim your light, I would be honoured to welcome you into The Shadow Decoder.
Ethics & Integrity in The Shadow Decoder
I want to be very clear about something: The Shadow Decoder is not your regular “ChatGPT astrology prompt.”
It’s the result of months of work behind the scenes - where I built a custom API connection and personally wrote knowledge libraries that guide every interpretation.
That means:
Your chart placements are calculated from verified astrology software (Swiss Ephemeris), using Tropical Astrology + Whole Sign Houses.
Every word of your reading is informed by my own frameworks, teachings, and voice - not scraped from the internet or copied from generic sites.
The Shadow Decoder behaves more like professional astrology software, delivering a report - but infused with my unique way of working with Essence, Shadow, Gift, and Invitation.
This tool is for people who:
Love astrology and are curious about weaving AI into their growth journey.
May not be ready (or able) to invest in 1:1 readings or long-term mentorship, but still want accurate, empowering guidance.
Value ethical, grounded tools that don’t compromise on truth or depth.
This is not for everyone - and that’s intentional. I will never allow AI to replace the humanness, connection and wisdom of astrology. But I do believe it can be used as a bridge: to make this work more accessible, to empower more people with self-understanding, and to ensure accuracy through an ethical foundation.
My promise: The Shadow Decoder honours both astrology and you. It doesn’t replace deep 1:1 work - it opens the door to it.
FAQs
-
No. While it uses AI technology to structure your reading, the astrology data is pulled directly from a custom-built API (not the internet, not ChatGPT guesses). The interpretations are built on my personal shadow-work frameworks and written in my voice.
-
Most AI astrology you’ll see online is generic - pulling surface-level content, guessing placements, or scraping random interpretations. The Shadow Decoder is not that.
I’ve built a custom API connection that calculates your chart placements directly from verified astrology software (Swiss Ephemeris), using Tropical Astrology and the Whole Sign house system. The interpretations are drawn from my personal knowledge libraries and teaching frameworks, not random web searches.

The Shadow Decoder explores six key placements in your natal chart:
• Rising Sign
• Sun Sign
• Moon Sign
• Mars
• Pluto
• ChironEach placement is decoded with depth - through essence, shadow, gift, integration, and a poetic invitation. These six were chosen intentionally for their power to shape identity, drive, emotional patterning, transformation, and healing. They form a complete, intimate foundation of self-inquiry.
Looking for more? Deeper layers (like Saturn, Venus, Mercury, Nodes, Lilith) are woven into other offerings like The Shadow Collective and Becoming Mentorship.
-
Not at all. Beginners and astrology lovers alike will find value - everything is explained in clear, grounded language.
-
This was very important to me. I’ve designed The Shadow Decoder with integrity - it doesn’t invent placements or rely on vague ChatGPT guesses. Think of it more like professional astrology software generating a report - but infused with my frameworks of Essence, Shadow, Gift, and Invitation.
It will never replace the depth of 1:1 work with me - but it is an accessible entry point for those who love AI, want to explore shadow work through astrology, or aren’t yet ready to invest in deeper mentorship.
-
No - The Shadow Decoder can be accessed with the free version of ChatGPT.
But here’s what to know: the free version comes with some limitations. Sometimes the reading may pause or cut off partway through if usage limits are reached. You may need to wait before continuing or start a new session. Responses can also be slower during busy times.
If you use ChatGPT Plus (paid), these limits are lifted - your reading will flow more smoothly, with faster responses and a better chance of pulling the full Shadow Decoder in one sitting.
So while a paid plan isn’t essential, it does offer a more seamless and reliable experience.
-
The Shadow Decoder runs on GPT-5 because it uses uploaded knowledge files and advanced chart processing. If you’re on the free version of ChatGPT, you only have a limited number of GPT-5 messages each day. Once you reach that daily limit, you’ll see a message letting you know when access will reset.
How to continue:
Wait until the reset time shown in the message - then you can pick up exactly where you left off, at no cost.
Upgrade to ChatGPT Plus for unlimited GPT-5 access - this ensures you won’t run into daily usage caps.
You are not locked out permanently if you don’t upgrade. Access will always reset daily, so you can return and continue your Shadow Decoder journey when the limit refreshes.
-
Because this is an instant-access digital tool, no refunds are available. However, I encourage you to sit with your reading - often shadows resist being seen at first, and what feels uncomfortable is exactly what leads to growth.
-
The Shadow Decoder is designed to reflect your personal shadows and gifts - the places in your chart where you may hold shame, fear, or self-doubt, and how these can be transmuted into strength and resilience.
It is not a business or relationship strategy tool.
Of course, shadows influence every part of life - how you show up in relationships, money, or leadership - but The Shadow Decoder is here to help you first see and name the patterns within yourself.
If you’d like to explore how your shadows shape your business, relationships, or brand, that’s the work we go into together inside my live programs, group containers, and 1:1 mentoring.
-
No. The Shadow Decoder is a tool for awareness, empowerment, and spiritual growth. It does not replace therapy or mental health support. If you require medical support, mental health support or therapy, please seek guidance from a qualified professional.
-
If the Shadow Decoder doesn’t open correctly, simply start a new chat and re-open it from your portal link. When it asks to connect, please select Always Allow so your placements can be pulled from the verified API. If it still doesn’t work, log out and back in (or clear your ChatGPT cache). And if the issue continues, it’s usually because the chart API is temporarily unavailable - just try again later or email me for support: hello@miafrench.com.au

About Mia
My work is rooted in one simple truth: You are not broken.
With a Scorpio stellium - Sun, Mercury, Mars, and Uranus all in the 7th House - I know how deeply transformation comes through mirrors: relationships, intimacy, and the shadows we encounter in others and ourselves.
My Pisces Moon gives me empathy and intuition; my Taurus Rising, the steadiness to ground it all. Together, they shape my ability to guide others into both their shadows and their gifts.
And as a 6/2 Emotional Projector, my design is to feel, reflect, and translate the collective’s hidden emotional undercurrents. It gives me both the sensitivity to perceive what others can’t say, and the authority to guide people back to their truth.
Astrology is the foundation of my work, but I also bring years of experience in marketing and business strategy. This unique blend allows me to support not only your personal liberation but also the way you show up in your work, your leadership, and your brand.
Through tools like The Shadow Decoder, my group programs and my 1:1 mentoring, I offer clarity, compassion, and practical wisdom - so you can reclaim your worth, your voice, and your light, and channel them into every area of your life. Because when you’re aligned with your essence, everything flows: confidence, clarity, relationships, and the success you’re here to create.
