-Kerykeion is a python library for Astrology.
-It can calculate all the planet and house position,
-also it can calculate the aspects of a single persone or between two, you can set how many planets you
-need in the settings in the utility module.
-It also can generate an SVG of a birthchart, a synastry chart or a transit chart.
+Kerykeion is a Python library for astrology. It computes planetary and house positions, detects aspects (individual, synastry, composite), and generates SVG charts—including birth, synastry, transit, and composite charts. You can also customize which planets to include in your calculations.
+
+The main goal of this project is to offer a clean, data-driven approach to astrology, making it accessible and programmable.
 
-The core goal of this project is to provide a simple and easy approach to astrology in a data driven way.
+Kerykeion also integrates seamlessly with AI applications. It is designed to work well as a backend for chatbots, recommendation systems, or personal assistants that require astrological insights. You can access structured data in JSON format, making it easy to combine with natural language processing models or knowledge-based systems.
 
-Here's an example of a birthchart:

-Maintaining this project is a lot of work, the Astrologer API doesn't nearly cover the costs of a software engineer working on this project full time. I do this because I love it, but until I can make this my full time job, I won't be able to spend as much time on it.

 ## Basic Usage
 
-The basic usage of the library is to create an instance of the AstrologicalSubject class and then access the properties of the instance to get the astrological information about the subject.
-
-Here's an example:
+Below is a simple example illustrating the creation of an astrological subject and retrieving astrological details:
 
 ```python
-
-# Import the main class for creating a kerykeion instance:
 from kerykeion import AstrologicalSubject
 
-# Create a kerykeion instance:
-# Args: Name, year, month, day, hour, minuts, city, nation
+# Create an instance of the AstrologicalSubject class.
+# Arguments: Name, year, month, day, hour, minutes, city, nation
 kanye = AstrologicalSubject("Kanye", 1977, 6, 8, 8, 45, "Atlanta", "US")
 
-# Get the information about the sun in the chart:
-# (The position of the planets always starts at 0)
+# Retrieve information about the Sun:
 kanye.sun
+# > {'name': 'Sun', 'quality': 'Mutable', 'element': 'Air', 'sign': 'Gem', 'sign_num': 2, ...}
 
-#> {'name': 'Sun', 'quality': 'Mutable', 'element': 'Air', 'sign': 'Gem', 'sign_num': 2, 'pos': 17.598992059774275, 'abs_pos': 77.59899205977428, 'emoji': '♊️', 'house': '12th House', 'retrograde': False}
-
-# Get information about the first house:
+# Retrieve information about the first house:
 kanye.first_house
+# > {'name': 'First_House', 'quality': 'Cardinal', 'element': 'Water', 'sign': 'Can', ...}
 
-#> {'name': 'First_House', 'quality': 'Cardinal', 'element': 'Water', 'sign': 'Can', 'sign_num': 3, 'pos': 17.995779673209114, 'abs_pos': 107.99577967320911, 'emoji': '♋️'}
-
-# Get element of the moon sign:
+# Retrieve the element of the Moon sign:
 kanye.moon.element
-
-#> 'Water'
-
+# > 'Water'
 ```
 
-**To avoid connecting to GeoNames (eg. avoiding hourly limit or no internet connection) you should instance kerykeion like this:**
+**To avoid using GeoNames online, specify longitude, latitude, and timezone instead of city and nation:**
 
 ```python
 kanye = AstrologicalSubject(
-    "Kanye", 1977, 6, 8, 8, 45, lng=50, lat=50, tz_str="Europe/Rome", city="Rome"
+    "Kanye", 1977, 6, 8, 8, 45,
+    lng=50,
+    lat=50,
+    tz_str="Europe/Rome",
+    city="Rome"
 )
 ```
 
-The difference is that you have to pass the longitude, latitude and the timezone string, instead of the city and nation.
-If you omit the nation, it will be set to "GB" by default, but the value is not used for calculations. It's better to set it to the correct value though.
