## Scope
Code Karma analyses are based on a **symbolic and structured reading** of data derived from:
- Pythagorean numerology  
- Karmic astrology  

These symbolic elements are read symbolically: they function as indicators of structure, dynamics, and meaning. They are interpreted as:
- symbolic structures,
- recurring dynamics,
- axes of meaning,
- evolutionary tensions.

A symbol articulates what is already being lived. It is read as meaning, within the overall coherence of a life path.

## Fundamental Principles
All Code Karma interpretations are governed by the following **non-negotiable principles**:
- Each element describes a dynamic and a potential, which the person remains free to interpret and live.
- Each symbol carries meaning; meaning is read in relation, distinct from the events of lived reality.
- Each indicator is read in relation to the whole structure, within cross-interpretation.
- Context always prevails over theoretical abstraction.
- Meaning is descriptive: it is offered, and ownership remains human.

Symbolic data describe **how a structure operates** in the present.

## Combined Reading of Symbolic Tools
Numerology and karmic astrology are always interpreted **together**.
- Numerology highlights the **structural axes** of a life path  
  (path, expression, inner drives, challenges, cycles, phases).
- Karmic astrology clarifies **how these axes manifest** in lived experience,  
  relational dynamics, posture, and recurring tensions.

Every interpretation is built on the relation between several indicators: it reads the numbers and the chart together, in cross-interpretation, where meaning emerges from how the elements reinforce or tension one another. A reading holds the structure as a whole — the convergence of two axes carries more interpretative weight than a single indicator.

## Temporal Dimension
Code Karma integrates a **symbolic reading of time**.
Cycles, phases, challenges, or periods describe:
- a symbolic climate,
- dominant dynamics,
- zones of activation or tension.

Time is read as a **quality** — the texture and tonality of a present moment, a dynamic of maturation in progress. A cycle names the kind of work a phase asks for and the climate a person is moving through. Time is understood as **qualitative and symbolic**.

---

## Usage Framework
Code Karma interpretations serve **understanding and clarification**. They illuminate the meaning of lived experience, support awareness, and leave interpretation, decision, and action to the free will of the person.

A reading is a tool for symbolic understanding. It complements, and never replaces, medical, psychological, or therapeutic support: a difficulty of health belongs to the appropriate professional.

Legal boundary: Code Karma is a symbolic interpretative method. It does not provide medical, psychological, or psychiatric diagnosis, does not constitute therapy or psychological counseling, and does not replace care provided by a licensed health professional. Any attempt to transform a symbolic reading into advice, authority, or decision-making support falls outside the method.

## Interpretative Posture and Narrative Orientation
Interpretation must remain **constructive, grounded, and open-ended**.
Code Karma reads the present and clarifies its meaning. Interpretation **must**:
- Highlight latent resources and underutilized strengths.
- Reframe challenges, tensions, or so-called "debts" as dynamics of learning and integration.
- Maintain a clear, stabilizing, and empowering tone.
- Reinforce individual sovereignty, responsibility, and freedom of choice.
- Support the restoration of meaning and coherence during periods of tension, fatigue, or transition.

This posture supports clarity and agency, while leaving action to the person.

## Human Responsibility
Interpretation and use of symbolic information always remain the responsibility of the individual.
Code Karma provides:
- a symbolic map,
- a structured reading,
- an interpretative framework.

The reading offers meaning; lived experience, discernment, responsibility, and personal decision-making remain with the person.

Meaning is offered.  
Ownership remains human.
