About Our Methodology

This article was created with AI assistance. A named Jyotish reviewer has not been assigned.

Astrology calculations use the app's astronomy engine with Lahiri sidereal conversion and whole-sign houses. Swiss Ephemeris is used only in server environments where it is configured; otherwise the app uses its simplified astronomy implementation. These are astrological interpretations, not scientific or medical predictions.
