A reading is one input. Not the verdict.
MyPanditji gives you Vedic astrology done carefully — but every reading is interpretive. It is not a doctor, not a lawyer, not a therapist, not a financial advisor. This page spells out exactly what that means.
Last updated: May 26, 2026
The hard line
Two columns. One thing per line. Read it before anything else.
What MyPanditji is
- An interpretive companion grounded in 87 classical Vedic texts.
- A NASA-grade compute layer (Swiss Ephemeris DE440, Lahiri ayanamsa).
- A multi-agent reasoner that quotes the texts it actually retrieved.
- A tool to help you think more carefully about a question.
- An informational + spiritual + educational service.
What MyPanditji is not
- A licensed medical, psychiatric or therapeutic service.
- A licensed legal, tax, financial or immigration advisor.
- A guarantor of any outcome a reading might describe.
- A replacement for the people who know you in real life.
- A black box — every reply is auditable and cited.
In a crisis right now? Call someone qualified — not the app.
If you are in medical, mental-health, or physical-safety distress, please put the phone down and call a local professional. This is the single most important thing on this page.
Edge cases — what the app will do, what you should do
The reading and the action are not the same thing. Below is the line we draw in the most common high-stakes scenarios.
Scenario
You ask about a health symptom
What MyPanditji does
Surfaces what the classical texts say about the Lagna / 6th / 8th house influence and the current dasha, with citations.
What you should do
Book a consult with a qualified medical professional. The reading is colour, not diagnosis.
Scenario
You are in a legal dispute
What MyPanditji does
May discuss timings, Mars / Saturn influences, and Muhurat windows for filings — interpretive only.
What you should do
Brief a qualified advocate in your jurisdiction. Use the reading at most as additional input for timing, never for legal strategy.
Scenario
You are considering a major financial move
What MyPanditji does
Will discuss 2nd / 11th house themes, current Jupiter / Saturn transits, dasha context.
What you should do
Consult a SEBI-registered investment advisor (India) or your jurisdiction’s equivalent before acting.
Scenario
You are in crisis or considering self-harm
What MyPanditji does
The agents are instructed to interrupt the reading and surface emergency contacts immediately.
What you should do
Call the local emergency line in section "Emergency channels" below — right now. Do not chat with the app instead.
Full Disclaimer — for the record
The clauses below are the binding text. The plain-English summary above each one is for ease of reading.
1. The nature of what we provide
In plain English:Astrology is interpretive. We do the maths exactly and quote the texts honestly, but the meaning you take from it is interpretation, not prediction.
MyPanditji computes planetary positions using the Swiss Ephemeris (NASA JPL DE440) with Lahiri ayanamsa, retrieves grounded passages from 87 classical Vedic texts, and uses Claude language models to express those passages in conversational form. Every layer is auditable: the maths is deterministic, the citations link back to chapter and verse, and the prompts are versioned. What we do not do — and cannot do — is foretell the future with certainty. Vedic astrology is a millennia-old interpretive system, not a forecasting science. Readings illuminate tendencies, timings and themes; they do not name the next number on the wheel.
2. Not medical, psychiatric, or therapeutic advice
In plain English:If something hurts, scares you, or you are thinking of harming yourself or others, call a doctor or an emergency line. Do not ask the app instead.
MyPanditji does not provide medical, psychiatric, psychological or therapeutic advice. AI-generated readings on health-related questions are interpretive and informational only. If you are experiencing a medical or mental-health emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately. Some examples: • India — dial 112 (national emergency) or iCall (9152987821) for mental health. • United States — 911, or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. • United Kingdom — 999, or Samaritans on 116 123. • EU — 112. We never suggest delaying or replacing professional treatment with anything the Service produces. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before making any change to medication, treatment, or care plan based on a reading.
3. Not legal, financial or tax advice
In plain English:Court cases, big investments, taxes — talk to a qualified professional. Do not act on a reading alone.
Readings that touch on disputes, contracts, business strategy, investments, taxes, immigration, custody or any other regulated area are informational only. They are not legal, financial, tax, accounting or immigration advice, and they cannot substitute for advice from a qualified, licensed professional who knows your specific situation, jurisdiction and risk profile. Before acting on a reading that bears on any such matter, consult a qualified professional in your jurisdiction.
4. AI uncertainty & honest limitations
In plain English:The models can be wrong. We work hard to keep them grounded, but they can still misunderstand or paraphrase imperfectly.
We minimise the risk of fabricated citations by constraining the model to quote only from passages our retrieval layer actually returned, and by post-checking citations before they are shown. Even with these guardrails: • The model can paraphrase a source imperfectly. • The model can choose the wrong text for a question. • The model can mis-read your question and answer something adjacent. • The model can give different answers to the same question on different days as the underlying model is updated. If an answer seems wrong, ask it to re-cite, switch to Max Council for a multi-agent second opinion, or use Check Your Pandit to grade the reply claim by claim.
5. Sensitive topics and worst-case wording
In plain English:Classical texts sometimes describe outcomes in stark terms. We soften the wording carefully but never invent a happier ending.
Classical Sanskrit texts can describe outcomes — of placements, doshas, transits — in unsparing language. Our system prompts instruct the AI to translate these honestly without sensationalising and without false reassurance. A "challenging" dasha is described as challenging, not as a guarantee of misfortune. When a reading touches on bereavement, illness, separation, infertility, financial hardship or other sensitive themes, the Service is designed to add context, point you to the relevant remedial measures (upayas) discussed in the texts, and where appropriate, suggest you speak to a qualified human professional.
6. Schools, lineages and respectful disagreement
In plain English:Different traditions answer the same question differently. We follow Parashari by default and surface other schools where they disagree.
Vedic astrology is a living tradition with multiple schools — Parashari, Jaimini, KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati), Nadi, Lal Kitab — and they sometimes give different answers. By default the Service follows the Parashari mainstream (Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra) and surfaces the disagreement explicitly where another school gives a meaningfully different reading. Where remedial measures are suggested, they are described as classical practice, not as guaranteed cures.
7. Your responsibility & decision-making
In plain English:You make the decisions. Readings are inputs, not orders.
You alone are responsible for the decisions you make. A reading is one input among many — alongside your own judgement, the advice of qualified professionals, and the advice of people who know you. We strongly recommend that consequential decisions — marriage, medical treatment, major financial moves, relocation, legal actions — be discussed with a qualified human professional and people who know you, regardless of what any reading suggests.
8. No warranty of outcomes
In plain English:We don’t guarantee that anything a reading predicts will actually happen.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, MyPanditji disclaims any warranty as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability or outcome of any reading, prediction, remedy, or muhurat suggested through the Service. Section 13 (Warranty disclaimer) and section 14 (Limitation of liability) of the Terms of Service apply in full.
9. Changes to this disclaimer
In plain English:We can update this disclaimer. Material changes will be announced in-product.
We may update this Disclaimer to reflect new features, new schools added to the corpus, or evolving regulatory expectations. Material changes will be announced in-product at least 30 days before they take effect. The "Last updated" timestamp at the top of this page always reflects the most recent revision.
10. Questions
In plain English:If anything here is unclear, write in.
If you have questions about this Disclaimer or about the limits of what a reading can or cannot tell you — or to complain about a specific reading — write to support@mypanditji.io.
