Editorial Standards

How we create and maintain content that is accurate, transparent, and genuinely useful.

Our Commitment

Every piece of content on FindMyRisingSign.com is written to be genuinely useful — not to fill pages, hit keyword targets, or create the appearance of authority without substance. We hold ourselves to the following standards:

1. Distinguish Fact from Interpretation

We clearly separate astronomical facts from astrological interpretations. When describing the calculation of the Rising Sign, we use precise, verifiable language. When describing personality traits or meanings associated with zodiac signs, we use qualifying language such as:

  • "Traditionally associated with..."
  • "In Western astrological tradition..."
  • "Traditionally interpreted as..."
  • "Some astrologers suggest..."

We never present astrological interpretations as if they were scientific facts.

2. No Deterministic or Diagnostic Claims

We do not claim that zodiac placements determine personality, guarantee outcomes, or diagnose psychological conditions. We present astrology as a traditional interpretive framework — one that many people find meaningful — while respecting the reader's ability to decide how to engage with it.

3. Original, Substantive Content

Each page on this website contains original content. We do not:

  • Copy or paraphrase content from other websites
  • Use AI-generated content without thorough review and editing
  • Create pages with minimal content just to fill URL structures
  • Publish content that exists only to rank in search engines

Every article is written to answer a genuine question, explain a meaningful concept, or provide useful information that a reader would be glad they found.

4. Accuracy in Calculations

Our calculator uses the Swiss Ephemeris, a widely-recognized astronomical calculation library. We document our methodology transparently, including the specific algorithms, coordinate systems, and timezone databases we use. We acknowledge known limitations honestly.

5. Corrections and Updates

If we discover an error in our content — factual, interpretive, or technical — we correct it promptly and note the correction. Articles include a "Last updated" date so readers can see how recently the content was reviewed.

If you spot an error, please let us know.

6. No Misleading Health or Financial Claims

We never suggest that astrological placements can diagnose health conditions, predict financial outcomes, or replace professional advice of any kind. If a reader needs medical, psychological, or financial guidance, we encourage them to consult qualified professionals.

7. Respect for the Reader

We write for adults who are capable of forming their own opinions about astrology. We do not condescend, oversell, or manipulate. We aim to provide information clearly and let readers engage with it on their own terms.
