Question

What does Saturn in my 7th house mean for marriage?

Reply

Saturn in the 7th can delay marriage or bring an older / disciplined spouse. BPHS 11.4 calls this placement deliberative — the partnership tends to be tested before it stabilises. Whether the effect is heavy or formative depends on whether Saturn is dignified (Tula = exalted) or debilitated (Mesha), and on the lordship of your Lagna.

Question

Is today auspicious for starting a new job?

Reply

Today is Krishna Dwadashi, vara Guruvara. Brihaspati’s day is favourable for new beginnings in education, ethics and intellect, but the tithi (Dwadashi) is mixed-result for material undertakings per Muhurta Chintamani 4.12. Aim for the morning Abhijit muhurta (11:54-12:36 IST) rather than the afternoon.

Question

My moon is in Pushya — what does that say about me?

Reply

Pushya is ruled by Saturn, with Brihaspati as the symbolic karaka — Brihat Jataka calls it the most auspicious nakshatra. Pushya-born people tend toward steadiness, nurturing instincts, and a slow-but-deep capacity for care. The shadow side is over-attachment to the familiar and reluctance to delegate.

FAQ

Is Normal mode free?

Yes. Normal mode is included in the free tier, with a generous daily message allowance.

Why does the same question sometimes give slightly different replies?

Two reasons. First, the corpus retrieval is non-deterministic at the margin — adjacent chunks may have similar scores. Second, the model itself has some sampling variance. We rate-limit this by post-checking citations and constraining the system prompt, but identical-twin replies are not guaranteed.

Can I ask follow-up questions?

Yes. Every reply includes a suggested follow-up, and you can also type any question. The chart context and conversation history are kept in the thread, so the model knows what you already discussed.

Does it support Hindi?

Yes — ask in Hindi or Devanagari and the reply comes back in the same language. Technical Sanskrit terms (graha, dasha, nakshatra) are kept in Sanskrit with the appropriate English/Hindi gloss on first use.
