AskSoma publishes this page. The explanatory writing is AI-drafted — by Soma, the same AI astrologer that answers inside the app — and published by the AskSoma team. No individual human author is credited, because none wrote it.
The astrology is not written from memory: every chart position, dasha period and panchang timing AskSoma shows is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris on the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa. How we calculate.
