How accurate is Akashix? · सटीकता

Astrology readings are for reflection, but the astronomy underneath them should be exact. Here is what we do, and a way to check it yourself.

Swiss Ephemeris

Planet positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same engine used by professional astrology software.

Lahiri ayanamsa

The sidereal zodiac uses the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard in India. Rahu and Ketu are the true nodes.

218 automated checks

Every change is run against 218 checks: reference reports from other software, an independent astronomy calculation, and invariants over many random charts.

Sun and Moon to a few arc-minutes

In the independent astronomy check the largest difference was 0.007° for the Sun and 0.066° for the Moon.

Houses, two ways

Sign-based houses count from the Lagna sign. The “box” system uses Placidus cusps, which is the base for the Vastu work.

Impossible dates are refused

31 February, month 13 or a latitude above 90° are rejected instead of quietly giving a chart for the wrong moment.

What we do not claim

That a chart predicts events. We give tendencies and periods, never certainties.
That the birth time you enter is exact. A few minutes can move the Lagna and period dates, and we say so wherever it matters.
That a match with your past is proof. The Life events check shows how often a result would fit by pure chance.
