We start by using NASA data to get the precise positions of the planets. Then we assign semantic meaning to these raw data points using the rules of astrology (i.e what significance the Moon has, what the different signs mean, etc). And lastly, we combine them together into human readable text which we show to the user.
- murukesh_s 9y agoWhich astrology rules are you using? Greek or Indian? I have done some preliminary research into Indian astrology and it have amazed me at times on how accurate it is. Though most of the HN crowd can think I am stupid, even I thought astrology is stupid until I stumbled on few things and I applied the same rules to my friends life to predict their good and rough patches fairly accurately. The data set is very small to call it a scientific study, but I am planning to run the rules on a large data set to figure out the possibilities of it. Great to see someone having a successful business with astrology. Good luck
- nojvek 9y agoSame as someone selling a religious app or any other entertainment app. The only issue I have is when people take astrology too seriously. I hope you’re putting some sort of an “*” that it’s for entertainment purposes and people shouldn’t make serious life decisions on what you say.
