Methods and sources
Revised:
The site distinguishes reproducible calculations, automated text selection and symbolic interpretation. A transparent algorithm makes a result repeatable; it does not prove that the interpretation predicts real events.
How forecasts change
These horoscopes are calendar-based symbolic prompts. They do not calculate a natal chart, planetary transits or individual astrological aspects. The algorithm uses the sign, period and life area to select a reproducible combination of complete sentences from a bilingual collection.
- Daily: 365 combinations per sign and life area; the date changes at midnight Moscow time. Tomorrow’s text becomes today’s text on the following date.
- Weekly: 48 combinations; the period starts on Monday at 00:00 Moscow time.
- Monthly: 24 combinations; the period starts on the first day of the month at 00:00 Moscow time.
- Annual: 60 combinations; the year switches on January 1 at 00:01 Moscow time.
These counts describe text combinations, not independently researched astrological forecasts. Neighbouring periods differ; combinations repeat after a full cycle. RU and EN use the same selection index. The forecast is delivered in HTML, and switching a tab only changes which part is visible.
How to read tarot interpretations
Card pages use the Rider–Waite–Smith tradition as a reference point. A card’s imagery, upright meaning, reversal and position in a spread are considered separately. Modern examples and questions are editorial interpretations, not quotations from a historical text or evidence of future events.
Random draws and date-based tools use different rules. The rule is described on the corresponding service page. A “yes/no” label is a symbolic convention, not a probability estimate. Tarot cannot establish a diagnosis, a partner’s fidelity or an investment outcome.
Dream interpretations and sleep science
There is no verified universal dictionary that maps a dream image to a future event. Our entries offer symbolic associations and questions for personal reflection. The same image can have different associations depending on a person’s experience, emotion and the plot of the dream.
Research on sleep is a separate subject from interpreting symbols. NINDS describes sleep stages and notes that the exact purpose of dreaming remains unknown. That source does not validate the individual meanings in this dictionary.
Numerological calculations
A calculation can be checked by repeating its arithmetic. The symbolic interpretation of the resulting number is a separate convention. For example, adding all digits of 14 February 1992 gives 28, then 10, then 1. Methods that preserve master numbers or reduce date components separately can give different intermediate results; use the rule stated by the chosen calculator.
