Editorial Standards

1.Authorship and expertise

This site is published under the name and editorial direction of Astrologer Dr. R.P. Sharma (Dr. Ram Pravesh Sharma) — holder of an M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of Delhi and an M.A. (Acharya) in Predictive Astrology from the Central Sanskrit University, New Delhi, with 45 years of practice. Articles reflect his teaching and approach to Vedic astrology, Vastu, spiritualism and the Tantra-Aagam tradition. You can read his full profile here.

2.Accuracy and sourcing

We take dates and facts seriously. Festival and muhurat dates are based on the traditional Hindu panchang; eclipse and astronomical details are checked against recognised astronomical sources. Where a date is a future projection (for example, lunar festival dates for a year whose authoritative panchang is not yet published), we say so plainly and advise readers to confirm nearer the time.

3.No fear, no fabrication

This is our most important principle. We do not use fear to influence readers, and we do not invent testimonials, ratings or claims. Any remedies discussed are traditional and proportionate — a mantra, a charitable act, a simple practice — never costly rituals sold through anxiety. Astrology offers guidance and perspective; it is never a substitute for qualified medical, legal or financial advice, and we say so wherever it matters.

4.Tradition and fact

Vedic astrology is a tradition of belief and interpretation. We aim to present it with respect while being honest about what is devotional or traditional and what is verifiable fact — for instance, distinguishing the astronomical reality of an eclipse from its traditional significance. We do not force connections where none genuinely exist.

5.Use of digital tools

We may use digital tools to assist with research and drafting. For our articles and editorial features, every piece is reviewed by a person before it is published. Our daily horoscope is produced differently: the planetary positions are calculated astronomically, and the guidance is drafted with computer assistance, automatically each day, within the editorial methodology, voice and standards that Dr. R.P. Sharma has defined — it is general Moon-transit guidance for reflection, not a personal reading. In all cases the editorial responsibility and standards remain ours.

6.Independence and transparency

Our content is editorially independent. We do not publish paid articles disguised as editorial, and should any content ever be sponsored, it will be clearly labelled as such.

7.Verifiability

Anything checkable on this site should survive checking. Celestial facts — eclipse dates, sankranti and festival timings, tithi and nakshatra — are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa) and re-verified by an automated audit before publication, so a reader comparing them with any standard panchang or observatory listing will find them consistent. Market-related observations are published only together with their full backtest data. And we never publish a promise: astrology here is guidance and timing, not certainty.

7.Feedback and corrections

We welcome corrections and questions. If you believe something is inaccurate, please tell us — see our Corrections Policy or write to astrologer.rps@gmail.com. We review every message and update content when needed.
