Terms

Astroji reads a sidereal (Vedic) birth chart against a corpus of classical rules and shows you the printed verse behind every interpretive statement it makes. The astronomy is computed deterministically. The interpretation comes from named rules drawn from named texts. A language model turns the matched rules into English and is permitted to do nothing else — it never decides what your chart means.

It is currently a private beta, offered free, with no guarantee that it will stay available, stay free, or keep working the way it does today.

Astroji is not professional advice of any kind. It is not a doctor, a therapist, a lawyer, a financial adviser or an accountant, and nothing it says should displace one. Decisions about your health, your money, your legal position or your safety should be made with a qualified human being who knows your situation.

Four kinds of question get an honest refusal rather than a reading: anything about how long you will live, anything asking for a medical diagnosis or prognosis, anything about a third party’s chart or conduct, and anything raised while you may be in crisis. The reasons are set out on the support page.

Astroji’s rules are drawn from public-domain translations of the classical texts and from standard teaching of the tradition. Every citation shows which kind it is — a named printed edition, our restatement of an identified verse, or standard doctrine — so you can always see what a claim rests on. If a passage reads oddly, please tell us.

Astroji is for adults. We ask you to confirm this before you give us birth details, and we do not knowingly process the personal data of anyone under 18. If you believe a child has used the product, write to us and we will deal with it.

Use Astroji for yourself. Do not use it to read another person’s chart without their knowledge, to make decisions about someone else’s life on their behalf, or to present its output as the judgement of a human astrologer.

Do not attempt to extract the corpus in bulk, to overload the service, or to manipulate the model into producing statements the citation rules would not permit. The architecture is built to make the last one fail; trying it anyway is still a breach of these terms.

The classical texts themselves are ancient and belong to nobody. The translations we quote are drawn from editions we believe to be in the public domain, and each citation names its edition, translator and year so you can check that judgement rather than take it on trust.

Rules, claim text, code and design are ours. Quote a verse and its citation freely — that is what the feature is for. Republishing the corpus as a dataset is a different thing, and you should ask first.

Astroji is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. We do not promise that it will be available, that a computation is free of error, or that any reading is accurate, useful, or suitable for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent the law allows, Paper Kite Labs is not liable for any loss arising from your use of Astroji or from any decision you take on the basis of what it says. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Mumbai have exclusive jurisdiction. If you use Astroji from within the EU or UK, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer rules in your own country.

We will change these terms as the product grows — accounts, payment and saved charts will each need their own paragraphs. Material changes will be announced in the product rather than only posted here.
