Editorial standards

WowAstro is written and edited by Oksana Miatova, a practising astrologer trained in the Eastern European classical astrological tradition, with the support of the WowAstro editorial team.

Oksana sets the interpretive frame for everything we publish: she chooses the angle, decides what's worth saying about a given topic, edits the drafts for accuracy and tone, and signs off on the final reading before it reaches you. Her full bio, training and specialisation are on her author page.

We use large language models (currently DeepSeek and Claude) to draft and format text under Oksana's direction. We do not let an AI "do astrology" — interpretation, doctrine choices, fact-checking, voice, and final approval are human. The AI helps with the writing pace; it does not substitute for the astrological judgement.

We disclose this because we think readers should know how the words in front of them were made, and because Google's own guidance (the Helpful Content system) explicitly favours content that is produced for people and is transparent about its production.

Every chart on WowAstro — natal, synastry, transit, return — is calculated using the Swiss Ephemeris, the same calculation engine used by professional astrological software (Solar Fire, Kerykeion) and verified against observational astronomy. Planetary positions are accurate to within arc-seconds.

We use the tropical zodiac, Placidus houses by default (Whole Sign on request), and modern aspect orbs (8° for major aspects, 3° for minor). If a reading depends on these choices, we say so in the reading itself.

WowAstro readings are written for guidance, self-reflection and educated entertainment. They are not predictions of fate, diagnoses, or substitutes for professional advice. Specifically, we will not:

• Tell you when you will marry, divorce, get pregnant, die, or fall ill. • Diagnose mental-health conditions or recommend you stop seeing a professional. • Tell you which stocks to buy, what to invest in, or what to do with money in a way that replaces professional financial advice. • Promise that any specific outcome will happen because of your chart.

If a reading touches on a sensitive topic (relationships, money, health-adjacent themes), we will point you toward an appropriate professional — a therapist, a doctor, an IFA — whenever that's the right next step. The chart describes patterns; the work happens with the appropriate professional.

Where a reading or article makes a factual claim about astrology (a definition, a historical attribution, a doctrine), we work from established sources in the Western canon — Robert Hand, Liz Greene, Howard Sasportas, Stephen Arroyo, and the classical foundations they build on (Ptolemy, Lilly, Morin) — refined through Eastern European classical scholarship (Pavel Globa, Avessalom Underwater, Albert Timashev, and others).

Where a reading makes a claim about you specifically, the sole source is your own birth chart and the interpretive framework above. We do not fabricate testimonials, conversations, or case studies; any worked example in a blog post is labelled as an illustrative composite, never presented as a real client.

If we get something factually wrong — a date, a calculation, an attribution, a claim — we correct it and note the correction at the top of the article with the original wording struck through, so you can see what changed.

If you spot an error, email [email protected] with a link to the article and a brief description. We aim to acknowledge within two working days and publish corrections within five.

WowAstro does not accept paid placement, sponsored posts, or affiliate links inside its readings or blog content. Our revenue comes from the readings you pay for, and the optional Daily forecast subscription. That's it. No third party influences what we write or recommend.

Astrology doesn't change quickly, but the world does, and so does language. We review and refresh the most-read articles at least once a year — for factual accuracy, broken links, updated transits, and clarity. Each article shows its last-updated date.

We don't quietly delete old content. If a piece becomes outdated and we decide not to refresh it, it's marked as such; we don't pretend old thinking is current.

Questions, disagreements, corrections, suggestions — all of it should come to [email protected]. We read every email, even the prickly ones, and we reply (Oksana usually answers astrological questions herself; other messages are handled by the team).

If you've paid for a reading and feel it doesn't reflect your chart honestly, that's specifically what the 14-day refund window is for — see the Refund policy. No questions asked, no retention emails.

Most websites in this space hide who's behind the writing, hide how it's made, hide what they will and won't claim, and bury the corrections policy in the footer. We think that's a poor way to treat readers and a poor way to build a serious publication.

If you ever find a gap between what this page promises and what we actually do, please tell us. That's the failure mode this page exists to prevent.
