These pages describe current product and editorial practices. They are operational disclosures, not legal advice, certification, or a guarantee that every provider or feature will remain unchanged.
People-first publishing principles
Public pages are created to answer a defined user question, explain a real calculation, or help someone understand a traditional concept. Pages are not published merely to fill a keyword list.
Content must add original explanation, connect to a working calculator where appropriate, and state what the method can and cannot establish.
Source and calculation review
Technical claims are checked against primary documentation, official standards, scientific references, calendar authorities, or ReadAstrology's documented calculation implementation.
A guide may describe a traditional interpretation, but it must not disguise that interpretation as an astronomical measurement or a guaranteed prediction.
Authorship, AI, and updates
Guides carry an organizational byline and a visible reviewed date. Author and reviewer profiles explain their actual role without invented titles or credentials.
AI may assist drafting, language clarity, or interpretation, but publication requires structured checks for calculation accuracy, sourcing, privacy, and responsible-use boundaries.
Frequently asked questions
Does every article have a human review step?
Public authority guides are checked through the ReadAstrology editorial workflow, which includes source, calculation, privacy, and disclosure checks before release.
Can an article be updated without changing its review date?
Minor formatting changes do not require a new date. The reviewed date changes when the substance, calculation method, source set, or user guidance is materially revised.
