Editorial and AI policy

This page explains how VenusBond pages are made, including the part played by AI. We would rather tell you plainly than let you guess.

The short version. Pages are drafted with AI from computed astronomical data and named astrology sources. Every page is checked by automated tests. Only some pages are also edited by a person. The people behind the site are astrology enthusiasts, not certified astrologers.

How a page is made

Data first. Each page starts from its own data: the signs’ elements, qualities and ruling planets, a compatibility score from our formula, or the computed date, time and position of an event in the sky. If a page has no data of its own, we do not make it.
A brief with sources. The data is joined with passages from named astrology texts that the page will draw on.
An AI draft. An AI model writes the page from that brief. Dates, times, degrees and scores are not typed into the text. They are filled in from the calculated data when the site is built.
Automated checks. Every draft must pass the checks listed below before it can be opened to search engines.
A person’s edit, on some pages. On part of the site, a person adds their own view and picks a real reader question for the page to answer. The other pages are published after the automated checks alone.

The automated checks

Is it specific? We swap the sign names in a draft and ask whether the text still reads as true. If it does, the draft is too generic and is rewritten.
Is it sourced? A second AI reviewer, separate from the one that wrote the draft, matches each main claim to a passage in the brief. Claims with no source are removed.
Does it stay in its lane? A script fails any page that gives health, financial or relationship-decision advice, such as telling a reader to leave or to marry someone.
Is it its own page? Pages that overlap too much with another page on the site are rejected.

These checks catch generic and unsupported writing. They are not the same as an expert reading every page, and we do not claim that every page has been reviewed by a person.

Scores and calculations

Compatibility scores come from a single formula, applied the same way to every pair of signs. The formula will be published on its own page when the compatibility section opens, with a worked example. Sky positions are computed with open-source astronomy software. No score, date or time on the site is written by hand.

Sources

We draw on public-domain classics, including Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos in J. M. Ashmand’s translation, William Lilly’s Christian Astrology and the works of Alan Leo, and we quote them with attribution. Where an idea comes from a modern author whose work is in copyright, we name the author and put the idea in our own words. Content pages end with a list of their sources. We do not use other astrology websites’ interpretations as sources.

Who is behind the site

Pages carry the byline “VenusBond Editorial”. We are astrology enthusiasts, not certified astrologers, counsellors or therapists. We do not use invented author names or photos.
