# What is Alchm?

Discover Your Alchemy

**Alchm** helps people learn about themselves through their personal [astrology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy). Using an innovative combination of bleeding edge [AI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence) and [blockchain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockchain) technology, **Alchm** provides insights on an individual's lifestyle, diet, relationships, destiny and beyond.

An individual’s [astrology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy) are derived from the locations of the [planets](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/planets.md) in the [solar system](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System) at the time they were born, and the [planets’](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/planets.md) positions relative to each other and the individual at that time. These astronomical relationships influence individuals’ personalities, life experiences, and human relationships. Since [astronomy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy) is predictable and calculable, the influences and effects of [astrology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy) on individuals are calculable, too.

We accomplish this using a unique [algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm) called [the Alchmizer](/docs/alchm-technology/the-alchmizer.md), which derives astrological, alchemical, and [elemental](/docs/astrology-and-alchemy/elements.md) information about individuals using their birth date, time, location.

Our goal is to make it fun, safe, and rewarding to discover more about oneself using the power of [technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology) and [science](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science), combined with the fundamental nature of [astrology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology) and [alchemy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy).
