The Journal

Everything here is free to read and free to check. The engine that writes the app's readings is private; the tradition it reasons over is not, and neither is our account of how it works.

• This app asks for your Moon sign, not your star signTwo things surprise almost everybody who opens a Vedic chart for the first time. The sign they have called theirs for thirty years is usually the one before it — and it was never the important sign anyway.
• Instrument, not oracleMost astrology apps are written to please. This one was built for a harder job: to be accurate, and to stay kind while being accurate. Those are not the same thing, and we do not pretend they are.
• Why the app sometimes says "not yet"There is a badge in this app that says Training needed. It is the most commercially stupid thing we have built, and we are not removing it.
• Your birth details are computed on your phoneAn entire industry is built on collecting birth data. Ours computes the chart where you typed it and does not need the data afterwards.
• We will never sell you a remedyThe biggest business in this category is selling the cure for the thing you were just told to be afraid of. That line is permanently closed here, and the refusal is the product.

Your Moon sign, not your Sun sign, is what every period in this system is timed from. These are the classical profiles — what each sign reaches for, what unsettles it, and the shadow side said out loud.

The finer division of the same circle, and the one that actually sets the sequence of a life's periods. Ruling planet, deity, degrees, and all four padas with their navamsas.
