Editorial Policy

Calculation Methodology

• Observatory-grade Swiss Ephemeris for all planetary positions (arc-second precision)
• Both tropical (Western) and sidereal (Vedic, Lahiri ayanamsa) paradigms supported
• Time-zone and DST handling via IANA tz database — applied automatically based on birth place + date
• Validation against published planetary motion ranges and NASA/JPL data before render
• Glossary and references provided for all key technical terms

AI Disclosure

We are transparent about how artificial intelligence is used in our products:

• Calculations are not generated by AI. Every planetary position, house, aspect, dasha, and nakshatra is computed by deterministic Swiss Ephemeris code — never by a language model.
• Interpretive prose is AI-assisted. Drafts of chart interpretations and Cosmic Wisdom answers are produced with carefully reviewed prompts and templates that have been edited and approved by our Editor-in-Chief.
• AI may make mistakes. While we work hard to keep guidance accurate and useful, AI-assisted text can occasionally contain errors. Astrology itself is interpretive, not deterministic — readings are for self-reflection, not professional medical, legal, or financial advice.
• No personal data is sent to AI providers for training. Birth details are processed transiently and are never used to train third-party models.

Review Process

• Author/AI drafting → editorial review by Founder → final polish → ship
• Plain language; no absolute predictions; no fear-based copy
• Recurring audits of templates against accuracy and tone standards
• Regular updates to reflect improvements in methods and wording
