TRANSPARENCY · ACCURACY
How we source astrological claims, how interpretations are produced, what counts as an error, and how to report one. Written once. Updated every time a correction is issued.
Every planetary position on ZODIA — every natal chart, every transit, every daily reading — is calculated using the ZODIA method, which uses research-grade astronomical precision. We do not estimate. We do not round. If a planet is at 12°47’ Scorpio at your moment of birth, that is what we use.
The interpretation we layer on top of the astronomy is grounded in the established traditions of Hellenistic and modern astrology. Our primary textual references are Hellenistic Astrology: The Study of Fate and Fortune by Chris Brennan and Ancient Astrology in Theory and Practice by Demetra George, both cited in the structured data on every interpretive page. When a page describes a placement as a domicile, exaltation, detriment, or fall, we mean it in the technical sense those texts use.
We draw a clean line between astronomy (precise, verifiable, reproducible) and interpretation (contested, traditional, philosophically loaded). Astronomy is the part we can be wrong about in a way that is objectively checkable. That is the part this policy is most concerned with.
The content on every sun-sign, rising-sign, and planet-in-sign page on ZODIA was written through a process that combines computational generation with astrological expertise. The astrological framework — what a placement means, what matters about it, how it interacts with its ruler and aspects — is directed by ZODIA’s founder, who has studied Hellenistic and modern astrology for over a decade. All content is reviewed before publication.
Daily WhatsApp readings are generated at send time from your real-time transits. Each message is subject to the ethics constraints published on our Ethics Commitments page.
The system is designed to keep astronomy precise, to keep interpretation faithful to the traditions it draws from, and to flag its own limits when it cannot be certain.
We treat the following as errors and commit to correcting them when identified:
We do not treat differences in interpretive tradition as errors. If a page frames Venus in Aries through a modern psychological lens and a reader prefers the classical Hellenistic reading, that is a perspective difference, not a mistake. When traditions disagree, we note it.
Email corrections@joinzodia.com with the following, as precisely as you can:
We acknowledge correction requests within two business days. For astronomical errors, we aim to correct within 72 hours of confirming the issue. For interpretive or stylistic concerns, we may take longer to research the relevant tradition before editing. If we decide not to make a change after reviewing a report, we tell you why.
When an error is confirmed, we do four things:
dateModified. The page’s structured data timestamp is bumped, and the sitemap entry’s lastmod is bumped with it. Search engines are notified of the change.For errors affecting multiple pages (a misattributed source, a systemic naming convention, a rulership mistake propagated through an entire series), we correct the source of the error, regenerate every affected page, and log it as a single entry rather than dozens of duplicate entries.
No published corrections to date. This log will be populated when the first correction is issued and will remain permanently visible for transparency.
This page itself falls under the policy it describes. Any correction issued here — to the process, the SLAs, the sourcing description — will also be logged and timestamped.
