Zodiac Futures separates astronomical calculation, astrology interpretation, and technical maintenance. This page documents the current methodology without inventing credentials or presenting astrology as guaranteed prediction.
Calculator pages use an ephemeris-backed calculation service where possible. The goal is to calculate planetary longitude, sign, degree, and apparent motion from astronomical position data rather than from fixed sign-date tables. If that calculation source is unavailable, the page shows a clear fallback status instead of presenting the fallback as the primary source.
The site uses tropical zodiac positions. Current pages and calculators calculate geocentric planetary longitudes, sign, degree in sign, and apparent motion where available. House references use Whole Sign houses unless a page states otherwise.
Birth time affects the Moon, Ascendant, Midheaven, and houses. Location search uses Open-Meteo geocoding in browser calculators, then timezone offsets are calculated for the selected local date and time, including daylight-saving rules available to the browser.
If the ephemeris calculation source fails, calculators keep working with browser-side approximations and show a status message. Static timing pages keep the most recently generated valid values in their initial HTML so visitors and crawlers are not left with placeholders.
Interpretations are written as reflective astrology guidance for entertainment, journaling, and planning. They should not be treated as guaranteed predictions or professional advice. We avoid deterministic claims, especially for children, family relationships, health, money, legal decisions, and safety.
Readers can report suspected calculation, copy, accessibility, or factual issues through the contact page. Technical calculation issues are reviewed against the code and ephemeris response. Editorial issues are reviewed for clarity, caution, and consistency with visible page content. Meaningful corrections update the page date, sitemap lastmod, and IndexNow submission list.
Pages with current astrology data display a visible last-updated time. Sitemap lastmod values should change only after meaningful page or data changes. Stable URLs are updated in place rather than creating daily indexable archives.
