How we wrote this: Astroly's astrology desk bases date readings on traditional Indian numerology (ank jyotish), the planetary friendships of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and, for compound-number meanings, the Western tradition recorded by Cheiro, which many Indian numerologists also follow. Numerology describes tendencies, not fixed outcomes.
