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 (divisional charts, advanced dasha techniques, 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.

AI-Human Collaboration

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

• ◆AI generates first drafts based on structured briefs and classical source references
• ◆Human editors verify all Sanskrit terminology, planetary calculations, and interpretive claims
• ◆AI 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 (mantras, gemstones, rituals) are presented as traditional practices, not guaranteed solutions.
