Editorial Policy

Our Sources

All astrological interpretations on Stellr are grounded in classical Sanskrit texts and modern astronomical data:

• ◆Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) - the foundational text of Vedic astrology, attributed to Sage Parashara
• ◆Jaimini Sutras - classical text on predictive techniques including Chara Dasha and Karakas
• ◆Phala Deepika - Mantreswara's authoritative work on natal chart interpretation
• ◆Swiss Ephemeris DE431 - NASA JPL-derived planetary positions accurate to sub-arcminute precision
• ◆Lahiri Ayanamsa (Chitrapaksha) - the standard sidereal zodiac reference used by the Indian government and most Vedic astrologers worldwide

Fact-Checking Process

Every article, chart interpretation, and glossary definition passes through the following verification layers:

1. Computational verification - All planetary positions, dasha calculations, and transit dates are verified against Swiss Ephemeris DE431. No interpretation is published without confirming the underlying astronomical data.
2. Classical text cross-reference - Interpretations of yogas, dasha effects, and house meanings are checked against at least two classical sources, typically BPHS and Phala Deepika.
3. Expert review - Articles on complex topics such as divisional charts, advanced dasha techniques, and remediation are reviewed by a practicing Vedic astrologer with minimum 10 years of client experience.
4. Internal consistency audit - We verify that no article contradicts another article or the glossary. Definitions are standardized across all content.

Automation and Human Review

Stellr uses automated drafting to accelerate content production, but never to replace human judgment on astrological accuracy:

• ◆Automated systems generate first drafts based on structured briefs and classical source references
• ◆Human editors verify all Sanskrit terminology, planetary calculations, and interpretive claims
• ◆Automation is never the final authority on predictive statements or remediation advice
• ◆All content is dated; articles older than 12 months are flagged for review and updated when astronomical or interpretive standards evolve

Accuracy & Limitations

We are transparent about what astrology can and cannot do:

• ◆Chart precision depends on birth time accuracy. A difference of 4 minutes can shift the ascendant by 1 degree; 2 hours can change the ascendant sign entirely.
• ◆Astrology describes tendencies and timing windows, not deterministic outcomes. Free will and context always matter.
• ◆Stellr does not provide medical, legal, or financial advice. Consult qualified professionals for these domains.
• ◆Remedial measures such as mantras, gemstones, and rituals are presented as traditional practices, not guaranteed solutions.
