    Methods & editorial policy

    Understand where your guidance comes from.

    Astronomical calculations describe positions. Astrology assigns traditional meanings to those positions. A calculated chart does not establish that an interpretation will predict a life event.

    Birth charts & matching

    Our browser-based engine uses the sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses and astronomical approximations. It calculates Lagna, planetary positions, Navamsa and Vimshottari Dasha. Ashtakoota matching compares Moon signs and Nakshatras across eight traditional kootas out of 36.

    Birth time, coordinates, historical timezone and calculation conventions matter. Results close to a sign, Pada or house boundary can differ between systems. We do not claim observatory-grade precision or independent certification. For an important comparison, verify the same inputs and settings with a second calculator.

    Daily readings & Panchang

    Default rashifal text is assembled from calculated transits and fixed interpretation rules. It is general Moon-sign guidance, not an individually reviewed daily prediction. Scores, lucky numbers and colours express traditional associations; they are not measured probabilities. A dated locally authored reading is used only for the current day in that browser.

    The homepage Panchang uses the mhah-panchang library and Gwalior coordinates (26.2183° N, 78.1828° E). Sunrise and sunset are displayed in India Standard Time. Tithi and Nakshatra refer to the calculation instant; the strip is not a full calendar of transition times. Confirm a ritual's location and exact timing with the practitioner.

    Numerology, Vastu & devotional tools

    Numerology uses symbolic number systems. The Vastu planner applies traditional directional themes to your sketch. The Vishnu Sahasranama finder uses a stated Nakshatra and Pada mapping; devotional lineages may use different mappings. These tools do not establish medical, financial or structural effects.

    Sources & implementation references

    These references describe software and data sources. They do not independently validate astrology's predictive claims.

    Our publication standard

    Educational articles are published by Vedatman Jyotish Kendra. Traditional beliefs should be identified as such. We do not label articles as personally reviewed by an astrologer unless that review has occurred. Publication dates describe publication; an update date should change only after a substantive edit.

    We do not use sample testimonials, invented review totals, unsupported credentials or promises of guaranteed results as evidence. Consultation prices, timing and any product certification must be confirmed before booking or purchase.
