About astrology in this app

A brief look at what we calculate, what we write and where we draw the line

How the chart is calculated

Planetary positions are calculated with Swiss Ephemeris, the same astronomical foundation used by professional astrology software. Houses use the Placidus system; the Ascendant and houses are shown only when the birth time is known, since they cannot be calculated without it.

Time zones matter: for people born in Lithuania during the Soviet period, the Moscow time in effect then is applied automatically. This affects the Rising sign, so we tested this case separately.

How the texts are written

Explanations of planets in signs and houses, and daily readings, are written with AI assistance following our editorial guidelines: a calm tone, no promises and no specific event predictions. The daily reading uses actual transits for that day relative to your chart, rather than a general “mood” for your sign.

What this app does not do

• It does not predict events, illness, money or legal outcomes.
• It does not replace a doctor, psychologist, lawyer or financial adviser.
• It does not tell you what you must do. It suggests what might deserve attention.

Astravija is a way to pause, look at your day from another perspective and notice recurring patterns. If a text ever suggests otherwise, that is our mistake — please let us know.
