Important things to understand first.
Please read this Disclaimer carefully before using Jyotish Guide. It explains what our services are — and just as importantly, what they are not.
Read this first
- Astrology is for guidance, not a guarantee. Predictions are probabilistic, not deterministic.
- Our services do not replace qualified medical, legal, financial, or mental-health advice.
- You are responsible for your own decisions. Astrologers guide you; you choose what to act on.
- Astrologers are independent experts, not our employees. We verify them but don’t control their specific opinions.
- If you are in crisis, please contact professional helplines listed below. Astrology is not emergency care.
If you are in distress or thinking of self-harm, please reach out now
Astrology cannot help in a mental health crisis. Trained counsellors can — and they are free and confidential:
This Disclaimer (“Disclaimer”) governs your use of the Jyotish Guide mobile application, website at jyotishguide.com, and all related services operated by Jyotish Guide Technologies Private Limited (“Jyotish Guide”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).
By using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Disclaimer along with our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy, and Refund Policy.
01. Nature of astrology
Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra) is an ancient knowledge system rooted in classical Sanskrit texts such as Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, and Jataka Parijata. It offers a framework for understanding planetary influences, karma, and cyclical patterns in life.
Readings, predictions, muhurats, and remedies offered through Jyotish Guide are interpretations of these classical principles. They are:
- Probabilistic, not deterministic — astrology indicates tendencies and likelihoods, not certainties
- Influenced by your free will and actions — your choices still shape your outcomes
- Dependent on accurate birth data — even minor errors in birth time can change chart interpretation significantly
- Subject to interpretation — different traditions (Vedic, KP, Nadi) may analyze the same chart differently
02. For guidance, not entertainment
Unlike some platforms, we do not frame our Services as “for entertainment purposes only” — because we take classical Jyotish seriously. However, this framing should not lead you to believe that astrological guidance is infallible.
Use our Services as one of many inputs for reflection and decision-making — alongside your own judgment, input from trusted family and friends, and advice from qualified professionals where relevant.
03. Not a substitute for medical advice
Jyotish Guide is not a medical service, and our astrologers are not qualified medical practitioners.
For any health concern, consult a registered medical doctor.
Nothing said by an astrologer on our platform should be interpreted as a medical diagnosis, prescription, or treatment plan. Do not discontinue, modify, or delay any prescribed medical treatment based on astrological guidance alone.
If an astrologer indicates health-related concerns, treat it as a suggestion to also consult a qualified physician — not as a substitute.
Specifically, astrological readings:
- Are not diagnoses of any illness or condition
- Do not prescribe medications or treatments
- Should not be used to decide whether to take or skip prescribed medication
- Should not delay emergency medical care
04. Not a substitute for mental health support
Jyotish Guide is not a mental health service, and astrologers are not licensed mental health professionals.
If you are experiencing thoughts of self-harm, suicide, or severe distress, please seek immediate professional help.
Contact iCall (9152987821), Vandrevala Foundation (1860-2662-345), KIRAN helpline (1800-599-0019), or your nearest hospital emergency room. You can also reach out to a qualified psychiatrist or clinical psychologist.
Astrology is not equipped to handle mental health crises. Please do not delay professional care.
Our Services are not substitutes for therapy, psychiatric evaluation, counselling, or any form of mental health treatment. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, eating disorders, psychosis, or any other mental health condition, please consult a qualified mental health professional.
05. Not a substitute for legal advice
Jyotish Guide is not a legal service, and astrologers are not licensed advocates or legal practitioners.
Astrological guidance regarding court cases, property disputes, family conflicts, contracts, criminal matters, or any other legal issue should not be used as the basis for legal decisions. Outcomes of legal proceedings depend on evidence, procedure, and law — not astrological indications.
For any legal matter, please consult a qualified advocate registered with a Bar Council in India. We also recommend using the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) portal (nalsa.gov.in) if you need free or low-cost legal aid.
06. Not a substitute for financial advice
Jyotish Guide is not a SEBI-registered investment advisor, and our astrologers are not licensed financial advisors, chartered accountants, or registered investment advisors.
Astrological guidance regarding business decisions, investments, stock markets, real estate, cryptocurrency, or any other financial matter should not be treated as investment advice or financial planning.
- Do not make investment decisions based solely on astrological indications
- Do not buy, sell, or hold financial assets because an astrologer said so
- Do not enter into large financial commitments based on muhurat timing alone
- Do not borrow money to purchase gemstones, yantras, or pujas for “financial gains”
For investment advice, consult a SEBI-registered Investment Advisor (RIA) or a qualified chartered accountant. The list of SEBI-registered advisors is available at sebi.gov.in.
07. Your decisions remain your responsibility
Regardless of any guidance received through Jyotish Guide, you are the final decision-maker in your own life. This means:
- You choose whether to act on astrological guidance or not
- You are responsible for the consequences of decisions you make
- We and our astrologers are not liable for outcomes of decisions you take based on astrological readings
- Major life decisions (marriage, career, property, health, relocation, investment) should be made with thoughtful consideration of multiple factors — astrology being just one input
08. Astrologer opinions are their own
Astrologers on Jyotish Guide are independent experts, not employees of Jyotish Guide. While we rigorously verify their qualifications, audit their accuracy, and enforce a conduct code, the specific predictions, interpretations, and remedies they provide during consultations represent their own professional judgment.
- Jyotish Guide does not endorse any specific prediction made by an astrologer
- Astrologers may differ in their readings of the same chart — this is a natural feature of interpretive sciences
- The opinions expressed by an astrologer are not the official position of Jyotish Guide
- Astrologers may recommend remedies, pujas, or products; you are under no obligation to purchase these
If an astrologer’s conduct violates our standards (e.g., pressure selling, abusive behaviour, off-platform solicitation), please report to disputes@jyotishguide.com.
09. Accuracy & interpretation
9.1 Kundli accuracy
Your Kundli is generated using Swiss Ephemeris data with Lahiri Ayanamsha and Whole Sign house system. Calculation accuracy depends entirely on the accuracy of the birth details you provide. Inaccurate birth time can produce significantly different chart interpretations.
9.2 Accuracy scores in our Predictions Ledger
The accuracy percentages displayed on our Predictions Ledger reflect verified historical performance. Past accuracy does not guarantee future accuracy. A high accuracy score is a useful signal but not a guarantee of correctness for any individual reading.
9.3 Different schools, different interpretations
Vedic (Parashari), Krishnamurti Paddhati (KP), Nadi Jyotish, Jaimini, and other traditions approach chart reading differently. When consulting multiple astrologers, expect some variation in interpretation — this is a natural outcome of different methodological frameworks, not inaccuracy.
9.4 Panchang and Muhurat calculations
Our Panchang, Rahu Kaal, Shubh Muhurat, and sunrise/sunset times are calculated based on your location. These depend on accurate location permission. We use standard drik-ganit calculations aligned with classical Indian almanacs.
10. AstroMall products — authenticity & effects
10.1 Authenticity
We make reasonable efforts to ensure authenticity of products sold through AstroMall:
- Rudraksha sourced from Nepal/Indonesia with authenticity verification
- Gemstones above ₹5,000 come with certificates from recognized labs
- Yantras and kavach made using traditional methods
However, natural products (gemstones, Rudraksha) may have natural variations in size, colour, weight, and markings. These variations are signs of authenticity, not defects.
10.2 No guaranteed effects
Specifically, no AstroMall product will:
- Cure or prevent any disease
- Guarantee financial gain
- Guarantee marriage, childbirth, job promotion, or any specific life event
- Provide protection against actual physical or legal threats
10.3 Consult a doctor before wearing
Some gemstones can cause skin reactions in sensitive individuals. If you have allergies or skin conditions, consult a dermatologist before wearing a gemstone. If a gemstone causes discomfort or physical reaction, discontinue wearing immediately.
11. Puja & ritual services
Live puja, emergency puja, havan, and spiritual protection rituals performed through our platform are traditional Vedic ceremonies offered in good faith by certified pandits. However:
- No specific spiritual or material outcome is guaranteed from any ritual
- Rituals do not replace necessary actions in the real world (medical treatment, legal proceedings, financial planning, etc.)
- We do not encourage viewing puja as a magical solution to life problems — they are spiritual supports, not substitutes for effort
- Effects of rituals, if any, depend on individual faith, devotion, and many other factors beyond our control
12. Free tools & daily content
Daily Panchang, Daily Rashifal, Vrat Calendar, Shubh Muhurat, Numerology calculator, Dream Interpreter, Energy Score, and other free tools:
- Are provided for informational and general guidance purposes only
- Daily Rashifal is calculated for broad rashi-based audiences and may not reflect your specific chart accurately
- Energy Score is an algorithmic summary; real decisions should involve deeper analysis
- Dream interpretations are based on traditional Vedic symbology and are not psychological diagnoses
- None of these free tools should be used as the sole basis for significant life decisions
13. Blog & educational articles
Articles published on our blog at jyotishguide.com/blog are for educational and informational purposes only:
- Authors may express personal views or interpretations of classical texts
- Articles may contain generalizations that do not apply universally
- Nothing in any article constitutes personalized advice, prediction, or recommendation
- Reader discretion is advised; consult a qualified astrologer for personalized guidance
14. Testimonials & user content
User testimonials, reviews, ratings, and success stories shared on our Services are individual experiences and may not reflect typical outcomes. Factors affecting individual outcomes include birth chart specifics, life circumstances, effort applied, and many others beyond our control.
Testimonials are displayed as-submitted, subject to verification. We do not fabricate testimonials or inflate star ratings. However, individual experience does not predict the experience another user will have.
15. External links & third-party services
Our Services may contain links to external websites (news articles, reference sites, payment gateways, etc.). Such links are provided for convenience only:
- We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of external sites
- We do not endorse any third-party service or product through such links
- External sites have their own privacy policies and terms; review them independently
- Any interaction you have with third-party sites or services is at your own risk
16. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by Indian law, Jyotish Guide, its directors, employees, affiliates, and independent astrologers shall not be liable for:
