About AstroPal

AstroPal is an AI-powered Vedic astrology companion that reads your birth chart and answers your questions using the actual words of the masters — not generic horoscope language.

Our promise

Every interpretation AstroPal gives is grounded in one of two things: a computed chart fact (Shadbala value, Bhavabala, planetary position, current dasha) or a retrieved scriptural citation from 16 indexed classical texts — Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Saravali, Phala Dipika, Jataka Parijata, Bhrigu Samhita, Brihat Samhita, and 10 more.

Where a classical citation cannot be retrieved, the system says so honestly: “No direct classical citation retrieved for this point.” No invented quotes. No vague predictions. No fluff.

Goravani-grade computation

AstroPal’s chart engine is validated against Goravani Jyotish Studio — the gold-standard reference software used by professional Vedic astrologers for 30+ years. Sub-arcsecond accuracy. Lahiri ayanamsa (sidereal, never tropical). Whole-sign houses (Parashari). Shadbala, Bhavabala, Ashtakavarga, 16+ divisional charts (vargas), Vimshottari dasha — all computed exactly.

The classical-text engine

Most astrology apps generate vague horoscopes from large language models trained on generic web content. AstroPal does the opposite: every chat answer goes through a Mnemonic Graph that ties the LLM’s reasoning to specific computed values and retrieved scripture excerpts. The result is interpretation that an experienced Jyotishi can verify against the texts.

Founder

AstroPal is built by R. Sivadas (Karnataka, India) as a sole proprietorship. The product’s technical foundation rests on a Goravani Jyotish Studio license held since 2025 and an indexed corpus of classical Jyotish texts.

Why this matters

Vedic astrology is a discipline with a 2,000-year scriptural tradition. Modern AI tools have largely ignored that tradition, producing answers that sound plausible but cannot be traced to any classical source. AstroPal exists to bring the texts back to the centre — and to give serious students and practitioners a tool that respects the discipline.
