Calibrated lift in astrology: what it means and how Tempora computes it

Standard astrology has no calibration. A configuration is interpreted as significant or not by the practitioner; whether it actually fires above what random chance would produce is rarely tested. Tempora publishes per-chart, per-signature lift figures that are reproducible…

Lahiri Chitrapaksha is the Indian government's official ayanamsa. True Pushya Paksha is the alternative championed by P V R Narasimha Rao. The two differ by about 0.10 degrees in 2026. Small difference in absolute terms, operationally significant for nakshatra-boundary cases…

Swiss Ephemeris and Vedic astrology accuracy

Beneath every Vedic chart Tempora computes is the same astronomical engine: Swiss Ephemeris, the gold-standard library derived from NASA's JPL ephemeris. Tempora pairs it with the True Pushya Paksha ayanamsa for sidereal alignment and Whole Sign houses per Indian convention.…

Reproducible Vedic astrology backtesting

Every lift figure on the Tempora calibration page is recomputable from public files. The calibration engine, the natal-chart records, and the labelled event sets are all open. A reader who clones the repository can rerun the pipeline and obtain the same numbers. This is…
