Our editorial policy

Jyotish deserves more than copied interpretations and dramatic certainty. We begin with respected sources, explain our reasoning in plain language and keep human judgment visible at every step.

Classical roots. Modern clarity. No fear based storytelling. Astrology is presented as a thoughtful framework for reflection, never as a substitute for evidence, professional care or your own agency.

Where the foundation comes from

The primary foundation of our educational articles is the classical literature of Indian astrology, also known as Jyotish. We compare principles across context rather than treating one isolated line as a complete prediction.

  • Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

    Sage Parashara

    A foundational source for grahas, houses, dashas, yogas, divisional charts and the principles used to synthesize a Kundali.

  • Brihat Jataka

    Varahamihira

    A major classical work used to study planetary combinations, signs, houses and the careful interpretation of natal promise.

  • Jaimini Sutras

    Sage Jaimini

    A concise and specialized tradition that informs the study of Chara Dasha, karakas, Arudha concepts and sign based techniques.

Tradition is the starting point

Translation, manuscript variation and teaching lineage can shape how a verse is understood. When interpretations differ, we aim to acknowledge the nuance instead of presenting one view as unquestionable fact. Where a point rests on one commentary or translation, we say which, so you can weigh it against the others.

Modern scholarship we learn from

  • Dr. B. V. Raman
  • K. N. Rao
  • V. P. Goel
  • P. V. R. Narasimha Rao
  • Sanjay Rath

These authors have made major contributions to the study, teaching and application of Jyotish. Their work helps us examine classical ideas through tested examples, research and living practice.

Ancient words, present day lives

Classical texts describe the social world known to their authors. A responsible modern interpretation preserves the principle while reconsidering the literal setting. We make that bridge explicit whenever it matters.

A simple example
“Friend of a king”

In a modern context, this may describe connections with people in prominent positions of government, public authority or leadership within an organization. The social expression changes, while the underlying theme of access, influence and status remains recognizable.

  1. 1

    Begin with a source

    The topic is grounded in classical Jyotish principles and, where useful, respected modern scholarship.

  2. 2

    Translate with context

    Historical language is interpreted for modern work, relationships, health, society and everyday life without changing its core idea.

  3. 3

    Review the claim

    We check names, terms, calculations and internal consistency. Strong claims receive more scrutiny than general teaching points.

  4. 4

    Update when needed

    Substantive improvements, factual corrections and meaningful changes are reflected in the page and its review date.

Standards readers can inspect

Trust is not a badge we award ourselves. It comes from showing who wrote a page, how a conclusion was reached and what happens when something needs correction.

  • Clear authorship

    Articles identify their author and connect readers with relevant background, perspective and areas of study whenever possible.

  • Responsible review

    Astrological interpretation is checked for context, balance and consistency. Calculations and factual statements are reviewed separately from opinion.

  • Open corrections

    Readers can report an unclear passage, factual concern or calculation issue. We investigate credible reports and correct the record when required.

  • Independent judgment

    Editorial coverage is not sold. Commercial relationships, gifted access or a relevant personal interest should be disclosed when they could influence perception.

How we use AI

Technology may support research organization, editing, formatting or quality checks. It does not replace accountable authorship. A person reviews every astrological claim, interpretation and final published line. We do not present generated text as personal experience, a classical citation or an astrologer's judgment when it is not.

Inclusive by design

We reject astrology used to justify caste hierarchy, racism, colorism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or any other form of discrimination. Historical passages may be discussed in context, but harmful social assumptions are not repeated as guidance for modern life.
