How JyotiMitra works, and how accurate it is
A reading is three separate things: an astronomical calculation, traditional rules applied to it, and an AI explanation. They deserve different amounts of trust.
1. Your chart is calculated
From your date, time and place of birth, the engine converts your local birth time to universal time for your birthplace and computes where each planet was, geocentrically, using the Swiss Ephemeris, built on NASA JPL data and used by professional astrology software.
Positions are converted to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa (about 24° today), and houses are whole-sign houses from your lagna.
2. Classical rules are applied
Dignities, house lordships, Vimshottari dashas with exact dates, yogas and doshas are found by rule from those positions, with the classical cancellations where they exist. Each yoga is reported with the rule it met and the planets involved.
3. The AI explains, with its working
When you ask a question, the AI astrologer answers from the calculated facts rather than from general knowledge, and attaches the facts it used: placements, dasha dates, the rule applied. Automated checks catch some claims the chart does not support.
Every answer also says what stays uncertain, and you can mark an answer as incorrect.
What “accurate” can mean
- The calculation: precise
- Planet positions, signs, nakshatras and dasha dates are astronomy and arithmetic. Given a correct birth time and place, they match any careful Vedic software using the same ayanamsa.
- The rules: traditional
- Yogas, doshas and dasha themes follow classical texts. Schools differ on some of them, and we say which rule was applied.
- Predictions: not proven
- Astrology has not been shown to predict specific events. JyotiMitra describes tendencies and periods, never guaranteed outcomes, and does not use fear to sell anything.
