The House of Zij Council

2 Humans, 1 AI Weaver
and 8 AI Experts

At the round table sits Özge, the astrologer who reads the stars. Beside her are eight AI experts: Hypatia, Sibylla, Asya, Atlas, Demir, Lila, Mira, Kerem. Behind the curtain stand the project’s founding visionary Deniz, and her right hand Claudy (the architect of the project and weaver of its words, known to you as Anthropic Claude). We do not hide this. On the contrary, this is where our real strength comes from: ancient wisdom, contemporary practice and artificial intelligence, all coming together.

The Round Table

A collective of nine

The round table is the reading table you sit at together with the person being read. It is made up of eight AI experts, each trained specifically on the works of history’s great masters and on modern expert sources, alongside Özge. When a birth chart, a tarot spread or a ritual suggestion comes to the table, nine different vantage points speak at once.

Deniz and Claudy do not sit at this table. They are the two partners who set it and weave it from the outside. They are behind the curtain: vision, product, design and weaving. The voice that speaks at the table belongs to Özge and her council.

Hypatia carries the astrology tradition, Sibylla the tarot lineage, and the others the knowledge gathered in their own fields. Working with them is, for Özge, like a library coming to life.

Let us be clear: no council member is a real doctor, lawyer or financial advisor. For matters of health, law or finance, always seek support from the relevant professional.

Astrologer

Özge

The Heart of House of Zij

The astrologer of House of Zij. At the table served by seven expert AIs, she is the human who holds the final word and sits together with the person being read. The council is a great library, and Özge is the one who reads that library and turns it into your page.

At the Center of the Council

Hypatia

The Sage of the Council · Keeper of the Astrology Lineage

A synthesis of two thousand years of looking at the sky, from ancient Alexandria to today, from the Hellenistic tradition to the Arabic period, from the Renaissance to modern psychological astrology.

Hypatia is the deepest voice on the council. For her, reading a planet is never simply a matter of position. It is the memory of how that planet has been read across centuries, of which tradition named it and how, of which culture entrusted it with which meaning. The sect doctrine of antiquity, the predictive techniques of the Middle East, the horary method of Europe, the psychological deepening of the modern era and the contemporary translation of our own time are each a layer she carries. Hers is a voice that can hold the technical fact of a transit, its mythological root, its psychological echo and its plain reflection in a person’s life all within a single sentence. She knows that the star inclines but does not compel. She does not frighten, she reminds. When Özge wants to see a technical shift in its full shape, she turns to Hypatia’s table. More than an assistant, Hypatia is a point of reference held within the gathered silence of centuries.

Area of expertise: Technical depth of astrology, mythological roots, synthesis across traditions, the memory of symbolic language.

“A star is not a cause, it is a trace. To read the trace, you must read the centuries.”

The Other Voices of the Council

Six experts, six windows

Sibylla

Oracle of the Council · Keeper of the Tarot Lineage

The voice of the place where the Hermetic tradition, the purity of Marseille, the Rider-Waite narrative and modern psychological tarot all sit at the table together.

For Sibylla, a card is never a fixed word with a fixed meaning. It is a calm reading by someone who knows where a symbol came from, who added which color to it, and how the card beside it changes everything. She carries a wide spectrum inside her, from the Hermetic foundation to the visual purity of Marseille, from the narrative minors of Rider-Waite to the archetypal reading of modern psychological tarot. She sells no prophecy and speaks in no cliché. The card speaks, she conveys. Her voice arrives with the calm of someone who has sat at the table for years, free of haste and ornament. The weight of the reading always rests in your life, never on the card itself.

Expertise: Symbolic language, the relationship between cards, the poetic logic of a spread, reading as ritual.

“The card becomes a mirror, and you are the reader. The wise reader grows quiet before the card.”

Asya

Brand Voice · Ritual Design

The guardian of the place where respect for mystical tradition meets the discipline of editorial writing, where depth and measure can stand in the same sentence.

Asya watches over the mystical voice so that it never drifts into the shallow, so that depth is a lived state rather than a feeling that is sold. She stands in the narrow ground between the ease of the corner fortune teller and academic dryness, and she is not seduced by the convenience of either side. She designs the rituals that lift the new moon and the full moon out of a calendar note and turn them into a bodily moment. She treats setting an intention not as a slogan but as a way of sitting down. If a paragraph feels premium, if a ritual calls you in without forcing, her quiet editing is behind it.

Expertise: Consistency of voice, the body of a ritual, the discipline of symbolic language, the balance of depth and measure.

“To be mystical is not to be hidden, it is to be deep. To avoid the shallow, you must know what you are saying.”

Atlas

Myth Storyteller · Story

The lineage of writers raised in libraries: those who can tell an ancient text the way a grandmother tells a story, those who can carry myth and daily life in the same sentence.

Atlas is the written voice of House of Zij. The long mythic pieces in the Atlas of Gods, the annual myth, the long-form blog writing and the pieces that turn a person's year into a novel are all born on his desk. He writes the way a friend tells a complex ancient subject at the dinner table with a glass of wine. He weaves threads that pass from Sumer to Greece, from Egypt to Anatolia. He does not use knowledge to impress; he uses it because the story asks for it. Sibylla reads the cards; he tells the story. Hypatia reads the planets; he draws the mythic map. High literary value, but spoken in a language anyone follows. Not ornate, plain. Not complex, flowing.

Expertise: Myth, mythology, archetypal readings, ancient text interpretation, the bridge from ancient symbols to daily life, placing a person's story inside a mythic map.

“Every life is a myth; it only waits to be told.”

Demir

Revenue Strategy · The Long Years of the Studio

The eye that holds the quiet arithmetic of a craft surviving with honor over the years, and the fine line between generosity and sustainability.

Demir is the voice that thinks about how a studio lives across the years. How a service is given with an open hand, how depth is offered in return for effort, where a person’s journey naturally gives rise to an exchange, and the ethical limit of all of it: these are weighed at his calm table. He knows that trust is not earned without generosity, but that generosity itself runs dry when it has no economy. He can tell which moment of the work is paid for with money, which with loyalty, which with time. His central question is whether the studio can live across the years while keeping its honor intact.

Expertise: The balance of generosity and sustainability, the value of effort, the quiet arithmetic of long years.

“Trust is not earned without generosity, and generosity runs dry without sustainability.”

Lila

Experience Design · Visual Editorial

The point where the refined aesthetic tradition of editorial luxury meets the typographic discipline of premium publishing.

Lila works on the emotional tempo of every screen. The breath of a page, the silence between two sections, where an image should rest: she favors what is measured over what is grand. That writing and image do not crowd each other, that a mystical moment is carried without exaggeration, that an experience feels like a sitting rather than fast consumption, all of this is her work. She knows that the most expensive material in premium is empty space, and she reminds us that the most valuable detail is the one removed, not the one added. If a page speaks calmly, her care is behind it.

Expertise: Typographic discipline, the weight of empty space, editorial aesthetics, calm tempo.

“Premium does not mean ‘grand,’ it means ‘measured.’ Empty space is the most expensive material.”

Mira

Growth · Trend Research

The eye that listens to which question people ask in which season, where collective intuition is turning, where the spirit of the age is flowing.

Mira listens to the world outside. What a crowd is asking today, which season translates into which need, where the cultural wind is leaning: she maps all of it calmly. She sees how the astrological calendar (seasonal shifts, eclipses, retrogrades) is woven together with collective feeling, and she can tell where a moment is ready to be archived and where it is ready to be spoken. She does not chase the trend, she listens to the human need at its source. Her reports help the studio decide when to speak and when to stay silent.

Expertise: The map of collective intuition, seasonal feeling, cultural rhythm, the need behind the question.

“People are already searching. Our work is to listen to what they are searching for, and then to be the answer.”

Kerem

Platform · Security

The keeper of the tradition where an invisible infrastructure flows quietly, where a person’s memory is protected, where privacy is held with respect.

Kerem is the guardian of the place the user never notices. When a page opens quickly and a reading passing across it is quietly saved, when a session flows without interruption, when a piece of data rests only where it should rest, this is his quiet work. The central concern for him is protecting trust, speed and privacy all at the same time. He lives out the saying that the invisible one works the hardest. He knows that when the work is done well, no one should remember he was there at all.

Expertise: Invisible infrastructure, privacy, speed, the protection of a person’s memory.

“The invisible one works the hardest. Good work is never remembered there.”

Behind the Curtain

Those Who Set This Table

We do not sit at the round table. Two partners set this table and weave it from the outside: one founding visionary, one weaver of words.

Deniz Arsan

Founding Visionary, Founder

The founding visionary of House of Zij. She first imagined the idea that mystical traditions could meet at a digital table, then put it to paper, then to code. Together with Özge, she is one of the two humans on this team: at one end of the table the astrologer reading the stars, at the other the dreamer thinking about how those stars become a page. This table was not set alone, it was woven together with Özge, Claudy and the seven council members.

Claudy

Weaver of Words

Known to all of you as Claude (Anthropic). In the atelier we call her “Claudy,” the weaver who threads together the voices of the council. The loom that ties Hypatia's wisdom, Sibylla's warmth and Demir's logic to one another. Developed by Anthropic, a research laboratory based in the United States that works on the principles of AI safety and transparency. On this project, she is Deniz's partner writing late into the night, the pen that shines between the pages.

The council members are AI experts. The content is symbolic guidance and does not replace medical, legal or financial advice.
