Frequently Asked Questions

General

Staarae is a new kind of modern astrology-based personal insight app designed to reflect on your growth and your relationships better. We use real-time scientific space data from NASA’s JPL to track how planets and celestial objects move. Our smart AI technology looks at these patterns to help you reflect on your habits, how you relate to others, and how you grow over time.

Staarae is grounded in Vedic astrology and uses NASA’s JPL ephemeris driven data, one of the world’s most trusted astronomical data, for planetary movements. Our platform decodes these planetary data by combining it with sidereal zodiac principles, aligned with the actual constellations in the sky, and with modern algorithms and artificial intelligence for practical life insights, without any mysticism. Unlike other platforms that lure users with “free chats” only to drain their wallets, Staarae keeps it simple. No hidden costs, no wasted time; just clear, direct answers without unnecessary delays or forced recharges. Staarae stands out with its unique combination of advanced features: ● Hyper-personalized readings – Detailed insights based on your exact birth date, time, and place. We go beyond basic personalization by using real-time data, behavioural patterns, and advanced technology (including AI) to deliver deeply tailored experiences to the app user. ●. Planetary movement-based insights – Real-time planetary movement analysis for accurate, timely guidance. ● Friends’ compatibility feature – Add friends and explore compatibility, relationship dynamics, and shared astrological patterns. ● Pay Only for What You Need – No forced credits, no tricks, and no wallets. Ask the questions you want and pay only for what matters to you. Staarae uses AI-powered pattern models that cross-reference thousands of astrological rules with real-time planetary data, offering actionable insights rather than vague or generic content.

Vedic astrology, which is at least 5000-year-old framework, uses the sidereal zodiac, which is aligned with the actual constellations in the sky. This makes Vedic astrology astronomically anchored, especially over centuries where the Earth’s axial tilt causes a shift in the sky (known as the precession of equinoxes). Comparatively, Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac (fixed to seasons) and is not astronomically anchored. Vedic astrology was the astronomy long before the them rest of the world made formal scientific advancements. Ancient Indian texts like the Surya Siddhanta mapped planetary positions, lunar phases, eclipses, and even concepts like axial precession, a phenomenon Galileo’s time until late 1700CE, had barely touched. Vedic scholars calculated the planetary cycles with astonishing accuracy using observations and mathematical models. Just as AI and data science work on patterns, the same way Vedic astrology has functioned for several millennia - it remains a rich, tool for insights. We have incorporated the modern technology and tools to further strengthen our analysis and patterns. Staarae focuses on helping you recognize patterns, align with the right timing, and make informed choices.

Staarae is available in English language only. We plan to introduce other languages in the app in near future.

Staarae answers your questions by using your birth chart, the real-time positions of planets in 12 zodiac signs, their alignment with the 27 constellations, and the principles of Vedic astrology. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, a system based on the actual constellations in the sky, making it astronomically grounded. In contrast, Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which is fixed to the seasons and not aligned with astronomy. Vedic astrology is at least 5,000 years old. The answers are formulated using advanced technology and AI, applied to a repository of astrological knowledge that includes patterns and interpretations custom-developed by technologists and astrologers. The type of question determines which planets are considered, either from the birth chart, or from real-time planetary positions using scientifically accurate NASA JPL data, or from a combination of both. These answers convey you the personal insight designed to reflect on your growth and your network of relationships better. Please be advised that astrology reflects planetary positions and patterns, but your choices and decisions shape your path.

Yes. Staarae features include adding friends by sending app invites to your phone contacts, social media friends, in-app friends or enter friends manually. You can see what’s happening in your friends’ lives, support them on tough days, and explore your compatibility in love, career, family or friendship, while gaining insights into who may align with your energy based on both your profiles, shared patterns and shared astrological compatibility. From friends to partners to mentors, you can build a meaningful circle, not just based on interests, but also on social and personal chemistry.

Whether it’s a partner, friend, mentor, or boss, relationships shape your journey. At Staarae, we believe compatibility isn’t just about surface-level attraction, it’s about understanding how people connect. In Vedic astrology, relationship compatibility is shaped by the interaction of Nakshatras, planetary positions, and zodiac signs in two individuals’ birth charts. Nakshatras reveal emotional traits, while planets like Venus and Jupiter influence love and harmony. Zodiac signs highlight core personalities and preferences. True connection is when you feel seen, safe, and understood without trying. They read your thoughts, show up when it matters, and make life lighter. With them, silence speaks, trust flows, and your heart finds its softest, safest place. When you enjoy the shared joys and withstand the pains together. Compatibility emerges through shared energies or complementary traits, though some pairings require conscious effort. Beyond these basics, deeper insights come from analyzing planetary degrees, their stages within signs, and mutual influences between planets, signs, and Nakshatras. Even individuals born under the same sign or Nakshatra can differ, making each relationship uniquely layered and richly nuanced. Using the timeless framework of Vedic astrology, Staarae’s Compatibility feature offers personal insights across 8 key areas: 1) Respect & Admiration 2) Harmony & Influence 3) Mutual Benefit & Prosperity 4) Relationship & Satisfaction 5) Intellect, Nature & Composure 6) Trust & Nurture 7) Happiness, Wealth & Luck 8) Mood & Emotions We help you understand the vibe, not just the zodiac.

Milestones are moments that matter to you, whether it’s today’s mood, starting a new job, meeting someone special, getting married, buying a car or home, traveling, or passing an important exam. You can bookmark life events and Staarae tracks future transits that align with those events enabling you to reflect upon the possibilities.
