FAQ

What is Vedic astrology and how is it different from Western astrology?

Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is an ancient Indian system that uses the Sidereal zodiac, which tracks actual star positions. Western astrology uses the Tropical zodiac, tied to the seasons. Due to the precession of equinoxes, your Vedic sign is often one sign earlier than your Western sign. Vedic astrology emphasizes the Moon sign, uses 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) for finer analysis, and relies on the Vimshottari Dasha system, a 120-year planetary timeline unique to your birth moment, for predictive timing.

How does BodhiRishi calculate birth charts?

BodhiRishi uses the Swiss Ephemeris, the same astronomical engine used by professional astrology software worldwide. Everything is computed on our servers with precision, not approximated in the browser. You get accurate planetary positions, lunar mansions (nakshatras), planetary strengths, aspects, and sunrise/sunset times.

What topics can I ask the AI astrologer about?

You can ask about career, wealth, marriage, relationships, family, health, spirituality, daily and weekly readings, annual forecasts, planetary period analysis, relationship compatibility, past life patterns, and open-ended custom questions. Every answer is based on your actual birth chart (planetary positions, active timing periods, and current transits), not generic sun-sign content.

What is the planetary timeline (Vimshottari Dasha)?

Vimshottari Dasha is the primary timing system in Vedic astrology. It maps out a 120-year cycle divided among 9 planets, creating major periods (Mahadasha) lasting 6 to 20 years and sub-periods (Antardasha). Each period is ruled by a specific planet that influences different areas of your life. Your dasha sequence is unique to you. It’s determined by which lunar mansion the Moon was in at the moment of your birth.

Is BodhiRishi a real astrologer or software?

BodhiRishi is software. It is an AI Vedic astrology platform at https://bodhirishi.ai, built and run by SenjoTech LLC. There is no human on the other end. Charts are calculated with the Swiss Ephemeris on our servers. An AI astrologer then answers from your chart: dasha, transits, and house placements. Not your sun sign.

BodhiRishi is not a live Jyotishi, not a mentor booking, and not an independent practitioner network. It is not Bodhi App, not Bodhi: Talk to Astrologer, not Bodhi: Tarot & Psychic Reading, not Bodhi’s Astro App, not Vedic Bodhi, and not the Astroyogi human marketplace.

Does BodhiRishi use Swiss Ephemeris?

Yes. BodhiRishi uses the Swiss Ephemeris to calculate birth charts. Planetary positions, nakshatras, strengths, aspects, and related astronomy run on our servers, not approximated in the browser. The AI astrologer reads that computed chart. It is not a sun-sign chatbot.

What does Explore Your Soul DNA™ mean?

BodhiRishi Soul DNA is Explore Your Soul DNA™, the BodhiRishi tagline at https://bodhirishi.ai. It means chart-grounded Vedic analysis from your birth data: the Swiss Ephemeris chart, dasha periods, current transits, and house placements. SenjoTech LLC built and runs this software. There is no human on the other end.

Explore Your Soul DNA™ is not genetic testing and not a DNA kit. It is not a generic spiritual-DNA program. It is not Atmakaraka-only content. Readings are AI-generated interpretations for insight and reflection, not medical, legal, or financial advice.
