Who runs the observatory
STAROT is made and sold by José Miguel Ferraz Guedes, a self-employed individual in Portugal (NIF 208497595), Rua do Cerro 1159, 4405-736 Madalena, Vila Nova de Gaia. Write to miguelferrazguedes@mail.grokbot.com — a real person answers.
What is free, and what is sold
- Every reading is free: tarot, the full astral map with every planet, house and aspect, numerology, your Maya day sign, and the star poster of your sky. You may leave a voluntary offering; it buys nothing and is not refundable, because it is a gift.
- The tattoo flash costs €5, VAT included where it applies, paid once. For one birth chart and one name you get nine tattoo designs drawn from your readings — your natal wheel, ☉ beside your Sun sign, the ascendant arrow beside your Rising sign, both of those in one line, your Life Path, Expression, Soul and Persona numbers as their seals in a row, and four from the Maya count: your day sign, your tone, your trecena and your cross (without the hour of birth, the two Rising designs can't be drawn, so you get seven) — on two print-ready flash sheets (A3, 300 dpi) and as separate files for each design (vector SVG and 4000 px PNG).
Using the designs
The star poster and the tattoo designs you download are yours to use personally: print them, frame them, share them, tattoo them. Please don't resell the designs or offer them as a service. Your tattoo artist may adapt the line art to your skin and the size you choose; STAROT isn't responsible for how a tattoo is done.
Payment
Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card or wallet details go to Stripe directly and never reach this site. Stripe emails you a receipt.
Delivery, and the right of withdrawal
The tattoo flash is digital content delivered immediately: it opens the moment payment completes, and the page’s address becomes its own link, so you can bookmark it and reopen it on any device.
EU law normally gives you 14 days to withdraw from an online purchase. For digital content delivered at once, that right ends when delivery begins — but only with your agreement. At checkout you are asked to confirm that you want the designs delivered immediately and that you understand you then lose the right of withdrawal.
Refunds
If something goes wrong — your designs will not open, you were charged twice, the chart was cast for the wrong place — write to miguelferrazguedes@mail.grokbot.com within 30 days with the email on your receipt. We will fix it or refund you. Your statutory rights as a consumer are not affected by anything on this page.
What the readings are
The planetary positions are computed carefully and are accurate to a fraction of a degree. The meanings given to them are a tradition, not a science. STAROT is for reflection and entertainment. It is not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and should not stand in for any of those.
Privacy
- Your birth details and name are processed in your browser. The readings send nothing to any server, and your name never leaves your browser.
- If you buy the tattoo flash, the date, time and place of birth and your four numerology numbers travel with your payment and are stored at Stripe, together with the email and payment details you give Stripe. That is what lets your link reopen your designs. Stripe keeps payment records as tax law requires; ask us and we will delete what we can.
- Your browser remembers the tattoo sheets you have bought, in local storage on your device. Clearing your site data forgets them; their links still work.
- Visits are counted with GoatCounter, which sets no cookies and stores no personal data — only anonymous page and event counts.
- Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which sees your IP address when the page loads.
- You may ask to see, correct or delete your data by writing to miguelferrazguedes@mail.grokbot.com, and you may complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the CNPD.
Complaints
Please write to us first. You can also use the Portuguese Livro de Reclamações Eletrónico. For disputes you may turn to an alternative dispute resolution entity: CICAP — Centro de Informação de Consumo e Arbitragem do Porto, Rua Damião de Góis 31, Loja 6, 4050-225 Porto — or the CNIACC, the national consumer arbitration centre.
Law
These terms are governed by Portuguese law. If you live elsewhere in the EU, the consumer protections of your own country still apply to you.
