Jyotish Vedic Astrology — AI-Native Full-Reading System
What makes this different: This is not a calculator. It is an AI-native Jyotish analysis system that combines calculation engines, interpretive workflows, confidence auditing, and graceful degradation — organized into a reproducible full-reading pipeline.

What Is This
This is a Vedic (Jyotish) astrology analysis system designed for deep, auditable full-chart readings. It is NOT a simple ephemeris calculator — it is a multi-stage interpretive pipeline that:
- Computes divisional charts (D1/D9/D10/...) via Swiss Ephemeris
- Runs 65 registered techniques (Dashas, Yogas, Shadbala, Ashtakavarga, Transits...)
- Routes the analysis through strict workflow paths depending on question type (career / relationship / wealth / timing)
- Audits every technique used — declaring what was called, what is complete/covered, and which limitations affect confidence
- Degrades gracefully — limitations are labeled, not silently over-promising

Quick Start
普通用户启动路径
如果只是打开网页/app,请按同一条路径走,不要在多个入口之间猜:
- 先启动网页服务:cd jyotish-app && npm run dev -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5173
- 再启动本地 API 服务:python3 scripts/jyotish_api_server.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5200
- 打开 Trust Center,点击运行健康检查;页面地址是
http://127.0.0.1:5173。 - 如果只安装 PWA:PWA 安装壳只包装网页服务,本地 API 服务仍需单独启动;无 API 时网页会保留基础浏览器 fallback,但 PDF/高级技法需要本地 API 服务。
- 开发者做完整自检时运行:
python3 scripts/run_quality_gate.py --frontend-click-timeout 240。
质量门分层
- quick:快速开发守门,适合普通代码/文案修改后先跑:
python3 scripts/run_quality_gate.py --profile quick - browser:完整浏览器守门,覆盖 runtime smoke 与真实浏览器用户路径:
python3 scripts/run_quality_gate.py --profile browser - release:发布前守门,包含关键产品文件未跟踪检查、慢速 golden cases 与 Yoga 逻辑报告:
python3 scripts/run_quality_gate.py --profile release
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- Swiss Ephemeris (
pyswissephorephem) - Optional:
pypdf,pdfplumber(for PDF chart input)

Core Workflow
Three Input Paths
| Path | Input | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| A: Precise birth data | Date + time + coordinates | Full full-reading engine |
| B: PDF / text chart | Scanned chart or description | Extract → Quality Gate → route to A |
| C: Uncertain birth time | "Don't know my birth time" | Interactive birth time rectification |
Eight-Stage Pipeline
Stage -1: Question-type routing (career / relationship / wealth / timing)
Stage 0: Input routing (A / B / C)
Stage 1: (B only) PDF extraction + Quality Gate
Stage 2: Intent recognition → target house routing
Stage 3: Static analysis (10 steps)
Stage 4: Dynamic timing (7 steps)
Stage 5: Timing output (5-layer verification)
Stage 6: Remedial measures (optional)
Stage 7: Modern language packaging
Stage 8: Technique Audit Table (mandatory)
Strict Workflow Router (references/strict-workflow-router.md):
- Career questions →
career-timing-strict - Relationship questions →
relationship-timing-strict - Wealth questions →
wealth-timing-strict - Event timing →
event-timing-strict - Historical verification →
event-verification-strict
The AI does NOT require the user to name techniques (e.g., "Chara Dasha"). It auto-selects based on question type.

Why This Exists (Competitive Context)
The Landscape
| Project | Type | Strength | Weakness |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyJHora | Calculation library | Strongest traditional algorithm coverage (50+ Dashas, 284 Yogas) | No interpretive pipeline; user must interpret results themselves |
| VedAstro | API / Web platform | 200+ endpoints, Docker, MCP Server, MIT license | Interpretive audit & confidence labeling weaker |
| Maitreya | Desktop software | Mature cross-platform GUI | Jyotish depth not as deep as specialized projects |
| jyotisha | Panchanga / calendar | Excellent Panchanga accuracy | Not a full reading system |
| This project | AI-native analysis system | Full pipeline + audit + degradation | Pure calculation accuracy still being benchmarked |
Our Position
PyJHora is the calculator. VedAstro is the API platform. Maitreya is the desktop software. This project is the "AI-native Jyotish research analyst."
We are NOT trying to out-calculate PyJHora (it has years of lead). Our value is in:
- Organizing calculations into a reproducible interpretive workflow
- Auditing every technique used and declaring confidence
- Degrading gracefully — confidence caps and limitations are labeled, not silently over-promising
- Being AI-native — designed for integration with LLM-based analysis
Honest Assessment
We believe in transparency about limitations. This is NOT a "99% accurate" system, and anyone claiming that about Jyotish is over-selling.
Current Accuracy Estimates (self-evaluated)
| Dimension | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Astronomical foundation (Swiss Eph) | 8.5/10 | Depends on ayanamsa, node mode, house system |
| Traditional algorithm accuracy | 8.1/10 | Chara Dasha benchmark passed; Shadbala still needs external absolute-value calibration |
| Technique coverage breadth | 9.1/10 | 65 registered techniques; broad and increasingly benchmarked |
| Reading detail depth | 9.6/10 | Possibly best among open-source projects |
| Prediction workflow rigor | 8.8/10 | Strict routing + audit table |
| Verification system | 8.2/10 | Has registry, benchmark, degradation; some verification still internal |
| Engineering maturity | 7.6/10 | Docker, PyPI config and CI exist; release artifacts still need cleanup |
| Open-source influence | 5.5/10 | Currently more of a "private high-density toolkit" |
What Confidence Caps Mean (Important)
Even when a technique is labeled covered, it may carry a confidence cap:
- It CAN produce output
- Some components may still need external absolute-value calibration against PyJHora / JHora / canonical texts
- It should be interpreted together with cross-technique evidence
- It must NOT be the sole basis for high-confidence predictions when its limitation says so
Examples:
Shadbala(covered with cap): Internal invariants pass (1200/1200). External absolute values are not fully calibrated, so use primarily for relative strength ranking.Chara Dasha(covered): KN Rao benchmark passes at 95.83% overall; remaining differences are documented around Aquarius/Scorpio co-lord strength arbitration.

Actively Working On (P0)
- Release hygiene — run the release profile, keep product-critical files tracked, rebuild wheel/sdist, and align GitHub tags with source version
- README / package metadata sync — keep public docs, registry counts and distribution artifacts consistent
- Shadbala external absolute calibration — align full tables with JHora / PyJHora / BV Raman
- Benchmark expansion — add more oracle cases for Vimshottari, Shadbala, KP and annual-chart modules
- Frontend verification — keep the pure JS/WASM fallback aligned with the Python engine output
Next (P1)
- Docker image publishing and smoke-test docs
- English documentation examples and API tutorials
- Multi-Ayanamsa UX polish and benchmark examples
- Desktop packaging path: PWA now, Pake URL shell for quick wrappers, Tauri sidecar after API lifecycle/signing decisions. See
docs/research/desktop_packaging_spike_2026_06_23.md.

Important Rules
- NEVER put real user birth data into skill files, tests, CHANGELOG, or public repos
- Use only: (a) public AA-rated celebrity data, (b) explicitly fictional smoke tests, (c) current-session data (never persisted)
- Always run
git status --short --branchbefore starting work - Always run
py_compile+audit_capabilities.py+ full-reading regression after modifications - Do NOT remove a confidence cap without external benchmark evidence
- Do NOT refactor arbitrarily; make minimal verifiable changes

Final note: This system is a research tool. It should NOT be used for making life-altering decisions without consulting qualified human astrologers. The techniques implemented here are complex and context-dependent; software output always benefits from human judgment.
