Our Methodology

GrahaVaani’s content follows established Vedic-astrology conventions and is grounded in the classical Jyotish corpus. This page documents how it is made.

Zodiac and ayanamsa

We use the sidereal (nirayana) zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard reference across Vedic astrology. Where a nakshatra or placement spans two signs, we note both.

Classical sources

Interpretations draw on the classical Jyotish corpus — Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, Saravali, and Brihat Jataka among others — restated in modern language rather than copied verbatim.

Where classical sources disagree (for example, the exaltation signs of Rahu and Ketu), we say so explicitly rather than presenting one view as settled.

Consistent structure

Every nakshatra, rashi, and graha follows the same template — core nature, strengths, shadow side, body and health, career, and spiritual themes — so topics are directly comparable.

Tradition, not certainty

We present traditional principles for reflection, not guaranteed predictions. Remedies such as gemstones and mantras are described as traditional practices, not prescriptions.

Languages

English is our canonical source; Hindi content uses standard Jyotish vocabulary (राशि, ग्रह, नक्षत्र, दशा). We welcome corrections that improve accuracy in either language.
