How Ask Astro Calculates Vedic Charts and Compatibility
Ask Astro combines astronomical chart calculations with educational explanations of traditional Vedic astrology. It is designed for learning and reflection, not for making guaranteed predictions.
Chart calculations
Birth-chart tools use the supplied date, local birth time, and birthplace coordinates to calculate planetary positions and houses. Ask Astro uses Swiss Ephemeris data and the Lahiri ayanamsa for its sidereal Vedic-astrology calculations.
Traditional frameworks
Compatibility reports use the traditional Ashtakoota framework, including eight kootas and a 36-point score. Dasha, Nakshatra, transit, Panchang, and dosha tools explain established Jyotish concepts in plain language.
AI-assisted explanations
AI-generated insights explain calculated chart information in accessible language. They are interpretive summaries, not factual predictions or guarantees about a person’s future.
Important limits
Do not use Ask Astro as medical, legal, financial, relationship-safety, or mental-health advice. Consult a qualified professional for important decisions.
