Reputation on this platform is earned, not claimed. Every metric you see next to an astrologer’s name traces back to predictions that a seeker actually confirmed. Here is exactly how that works — short version first, then the mechanics.
An astrologer reads a blind chart and writes a prediction with an event type (e.g. marriage, job change, health issue), a specificity level, and a time window. When the window closes, the seeker — and only the seeker — confirms whether the event actually happened as described.
Match requires the right event type to occur inside the declared window. Near-misses on either dimension count as a miss. There is no partial credit; there is no self-scoring; there is no algorithm overriding the seeker’s call.
A track record is not a single number. Astrologers move through four tiers, and each tier requires all of its conditions — not any one:
The distinct-seekers requirement exists so a small group of friends cannot confirm each other’s predictions into a fake track record. The Wilson lower bound is explained below.
Seekers can also give a 1–5 star rating on the quality of a reading — how clear, how useful, how respectful it felt. This is a separate signal from match rate, and it does not influence which tier an astrologer sits in. A high star average tells you an astrologer is pleasant to work with; a Verified or Specialist tier tells you their predictions match reality.
Imagine two astrologers. One is 4-out-of-5 on match rate (80%). The other is 50-out-of-70 (71%). Whose track record is more trustworthy? The second, easily — because the first is one bad prediction away from 60%, while the second’s accuracy has survived far more chances to fail.
The Wilson lower bound is a statistical way of asking: what is the lowest match rate this astrologer could actually have, given the number of predictions we’ve seen? A short streak lands you a wide range and therefore a low floor; a long track record narrows the range. We use the Wilson lower bound — not the raw match rate — so lucky streaks cannot leapfrog established forecasters.
An astrologer might be Verified in career predictions but still building evidence in health. That’s common, and honest: different life domains require different frameworks. On every profile you’ll see per-domain tiers, so you know which questions this astrologer has actually built a track record in.
When a seeker rates a prediction, the astrologer’s aggregate track record is hidden from the seeker at that moment. This keeps ratings honest: seekers judge the reading they received, not the reputation they were shown. Once the seeker submits their rating, the astrologer’s stats unlock — including how their track record compares to peers in the same domain.
