Astrology School covers subjects that draw from different kinds of knowledge: astrological traditions, historical records, dream research, psychology, religious and esoteric literature, and contemporary practice. Our editorial standards reflect those differences so readers can understand what kind of claim they are reading and how much confidence it deserves.
Astrology and symbolic interpretation
Astrological material is presented as interpretation within an astrological framework. Placement and synastry guides describe symbolic patterns, recurring themes, and possible expressions of a configuration. Individual charts vary, and a single placement or aspect cannot establish the full character of a person or relationship.
Where an article discusses a fictional character or literary work, the comparison is identified as interpretation unless verified birth data or an explicit astrological construction exists in the source material.
History, tradition, and esoteric practice
Articles on witchcraft, ritual, subtle-body systems, sexual-energy traditions, meditation, and related subjects may describe beliefs that differ across periods and communities. We aim to identify the tradition or context clearly and avoid presenting a contested belief as a universal historical fact.
When a practice has several meanings, the page should explain the relevant distinctions. Historical claims receive preference for scholarly or primary sources where they are available and useful to the reader.
Science, psychology, and health
Claims about sleep, cognition, mental health, physiology, or clinical outcomes require appropriate evidence. Research papers, professional organizations, medical institutions, and primary scientific sources are preferred for important factual claims. A study can establish an association or experimental result within its limits; its findings should not be stretched into a broader certainty.
Health-related information is educational. It does not diagnose a condition or replace care from a qualified professional. Pages that touch on distress, sleep disruption, compulsive behavior, or other health concerns should make practical limits and safety considerations clear.
Sources and citations
Sources are selected for relevance to the claim they support. Academic publications, primary research, reputable reference works, professional bodies, and established cultural institutions receive preference where the subject permits. A source list can provide further reading; important evidence is most useful when readers can connect it to the statement it supports.
Corrections and revisions
Articles are revised as the library develops. We correct factual mistakes, broken references, misleading wording, structural problems, and outdated explanations when they are found. Larger revisions may change most of a page while retaining its original publication date and adding a current updated date.
Reader clarity remains the governing editorial test: a page should answer the question it promises to answer, distinguish interpretation from evidence, and give enough context for a reader to judge the material responsibly.
