Editorial Policy

Last updated: August 23, 2026

This page explains how content on zodiacscompass.com is chosen, written and reviewed, so you know what you are reading and how it was made.

What we publish

We publish three kinds of thing, and the distinction between them matters.

Calculations. The eleven calculators compute real astronomical positions — where the Sun and Moon actually stood at a given moment, and which sign was rising over a given place. These are checkable, and we hold them to being correct rather than merely plausible. Each one states its method and its limits, and each says plainly when the details supplied are not enough to answer precisely.

Interpretation. What a placement is taken to mean is tradition, not measurement. We write it as such, we do not dress it in scientific language, and we do not claim it predicts anything.

Guides and horoscopes. Written for reflection and curiosity. Astrology is a symbolic tradition, not a science, and nothing on this site predicts what will happen to you.

How we choose topics

Topics come from what readers search for and ask about, from the yearly astrological calendar (seasons, moon phases, retrogrades), and from gaps we notice in our own coverage. We do not publish a topic simply because it is trending if we cannot cover it usefully.

How content is written and reviewed

Every article is reviewed by a person before it is published. Review covers:

• whether the astrological attributes are stated correctly and consistently with our own reference pages — sign dates, elements, modalities, ruling planets and houses
• whether any claim about a calculation matches what the calculator actually does, since a description that overstates a tool is the easiest error to make and the hardest for a reader to catch
• whether the piece reads clearly and says something specific rather than filling space
• whether any claim about health, money, law or relationships has strayed beyond entertainment into advice we are not qualified to give
• whether the headline honestly reflects the article underneath it

Headlines

Our headlines are written to be interesting, and some are deliberately emotive. They must still be accurate about what the article contains. We do not publish headlines that promise information the article does not deliver, and we do not use fake urgency about events that are not happening.

The line we draw

Horoscope content describes tendencies, symbolism and traditional associations. It is never a substitute for professional medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. Where a subject touches those areas, we keep the content general and say plainly that it is not advice. See our Medical Disclaimer and Financial Disclaimer.

What we will not do

• Claim that an event is certain to happen to you
• Invent astrological dates, transits or retrograde periods we have not verified
• Present fear as insight, or pressure readers with predictions of misfortune
• Attribute quotes, traits or biographical claims to real people without a source
• Publish content designed only to carry advertising rather than to be read

Corrections

When we get something wrong we fix it and say so. See our Corrections Policy.
