Publication standards
How we work.
Our articles separate astrological technique, historical context, modern interpretation, and practical guidance as clearly as the subject allows.

A living policy
Editorial standards should be testable. When our practice changes, this page will change with it and the revision date will be updated.
Purpose and scope
Vedic Astrology Space publishes educational articles about Jyotish, Indian spiritual traditions, and the use of astrological ideas in contemporary life. Some pieces explain a technical rule. Others consider relationships, work, belief, or emotional experience. The purpose is to help readers understand a method and think more carefully about a question. We do not publish personal readings, guarantees, or instructions that replace qualified medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice.
The site has a clear subject boundary. We publish astrology and closely related cultural or spiritual material. We do not add unrelated topics simply because they attract search traffic. Every article should offer enough explanation for a reader to follow the reasoning, disagree with it, and continue their own study.
How an article is developed
An article begins with a specific question. The writer defines the astrological factors involved, reviews existing material, and decides what the piece can reasonably answer. Technical articles may compare chart factors, dasha rules, divisional charts, software settings, or published examples. Cultural and spiritual articles require attention to history, translation, and the difference between a textual tradition and present-day custom.
Drafts are checked for internal consistency, unsupported certainty, missing context, and language that could frighten or shame a reader. A strong headline is not a reason to make a stronger claim. If the available material supports several interpretations, the article should say so. Publication dates describe when a piece first appeared. An updated date is added only after a meaningful change to the content.
Sources and attribution
We try to identify where a claim comes from. A classical rule, a later commentary, a regional practice, an astronomical calculation, and a modern interpretive opinion are not the same kind of source. When a precise text or study is available, the article should name it. Translations are treated with care because a short English term can conceal disagreement about the Sanskrit original.
Links and references should lead readers toward the material actually used. We avoid citing a famous text merely to lend weight to a claim. If an attribution cannot be verified, it should be described as a common practice or omitted. Quotations are kept brief and credited. Product comparisons should explain what was examined, when it was examined, and what criteria informed the judgment.
Astrological interpretation
A single placement rarely supports a firm conclusion. We read planets through house ownership, sign, house, dignity, aspects, conjunctions, nakshatra, strength, relevant divisional charts, and timing. Not every article can repeat the full method, but focused examples should not be mistaken for complete chart readings.
Traditional descriptions sometimes contain social judgments about gender, caste, sexuality, disability, marriage, or religious duty. We may discuss those passages when they are relevant to understanding the tradition. We do not treat prejudice as a technical rule. Modern interpretation must account for present-day lives without pretending that an ancient source discussed institutions or identities it did not name.
Sensitive subjects
Articles about mental health, fertility, addiction, abuse, sexuality, self-harm, or serious illness receive stricter limits. Astrology may be discussed as a symbolic or reflective practice. It cannot diagnose a condition, prove abuse, determine sexual orientation, establish fertility, or assess whether a person is in immediate danger.
Relevant articles should direct readers toward professional care when the subject calls for it. We avoid deterministic language, moral blame, and remedies offered as substitutes for treatment. Our full approach is set out in the sensitive-content policy.
Editing tools and responsibility
Writers and editors may use digital tools for calculation, transcription, spelling, formatting, research organization, or language editing. Such tools can make mistakes, invent citations, flatten disagreements, or reproduce bias. Their output is not evidence and should not be presented as a source.
The named author and the publication remain responsible for the final article. Claims, calculations, citations, and recommendations must be checked before publication. When the way a piece was produced is material to the reader's judgment, we will explain it on the article itself.
Updates and corrections
Readers can report a factual, calculation, attribution, or wording problem by emailing [email protected]. Please include the article URL and enough detail for us to locate the issue. A correction should fix the record, not quietly disguise a substantial error.
Minor spelling or formatting changes may be made without a notice. A change that alters the meaning, evidence, or conclusion should update the page date and include a short note when readers would otherwise be misled. We do not refresh dates merely to make an old article appear new.
Commercial independence
Vedic Astrology Space does not currently publish paid placements or use affiliate links. A person or company cannot buy a favorable editorial conclusion. If the publication later accepts sponsorship, advertising, free products, or affiliate compensation, the relationship will be disclosed near the affected content.
Editorial coverage does not imply endorsement. Mentioning an astrologer, application, book, teacher, remedy, or service does not guarantee its accuracy, safety, or suitability for a particular reader.
