Frequently asked questions
Last updated: 5 June 2026
Tara is operated by AVYAKTA AROHA LABS. These answers describe how the product works today. For binding terms, see our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer.
What is Tara?
Tara is a devoted digital companion for your spiritual life — an AI-driven astrology guide, not a human. You receive chart-aware readings and ongoing guidance via text chat and voice. Natural language is generated with Google Gemini, while planetary positions and chart-style context rely on Swiss Ephemeris computation (for example through pyswisseph) — not improvised generic horoscope prose. Read how Swiss Ephemeris guides Tara on the homepage.
Does Tara employ human astrologers?
No marketplace of human astrologers. On the consultant side, Tara is intentionally a digital AI entity— she does not pretend to be a person. The product uses seeded “astrologer” personas (fourteen archetypes in seed data) so conversations stay styled and repeatable without gig payouts or scheduling workflows.
Which languages does Tara speak?
In the mobile app, you can speak with Tara in English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam (voice and chat). This marketing website is English (India) only; regional languages are available inside the iOS and Android apps.
Where can I read today's free daily horoscope?
Free Vedic-style daily horoscopes for all twelve zodiac signs are on this site — start at the daily horoscope hub, or open a sign directly (for example Leo today). Forecasts follow the India Standard Time calendar day used for publishing.
Archive: past days live at /horoscope/YYYY-MM-DD (all signs) and /horoscope/YYYY-MM-DD/{sign}. Use Previous days on the hub for recent dates; older dates are in sitemap.xml. RSS lists today's per-sign pages only. Read how we publish horoscopes and our Privacy Policy.
What are cosmic insights on the website?
Cosmic insights are long-form editorial articles that expand on our daily horoscopes— daily roundups, sign spotlights, and occasional celestial-event guides. They are human-written with AI assistance after each day's horoscope batch, using the same structured forecast fields as the public horoscope pages (not your private app chat). Browse the insights hub, subscribe via RSS, and read how we publish insights alongside our AI Policy and Privacy Policy.
Which platforms are supported?
The Tara app on iOS and Android is the primary experience — voice consult with AI, full chat UI, and account features. WhatsApp is another quick way to reach Tara: text from ₹11/min from the same prepaid wallet, plus tarot and reports in-chat. A FastAPI backend powers APIs, Postgres stores durable records, Redis supports session/timer state and caching, Socket.IO carries real-time app chat, and Firebase covers push notifications where configured. See the experience section for how WhatsApp fits alongside the app.
Can I use Tara on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp — a quick way to reach Tara. Message Tara from the chat you already have open — text sessions, top-ups, and reports without hunting for an app icon. The Tara app is still your main home for voice consult, account linking, and the experience we build deepest.
- Quick text consult from ₹11/min — same prepaid wallet; ideal when WhatsApp is already on your screen
- Tarot, palm, face, life and nadi reports from the menu; PDFs delivered in-chat
- Top up via WhatsApp Pay or Razorpay — balances stay in sync with your app wallet
- For AI voice consult, multilingual chat, and the richest experience — use the Tara iOS and Android apps
How does authentication work?
Accounts authenticate with JWTs issued after SMS phone OTP and optionally Google Sign-In, aligned with typical India-first onboarding patterns.
How much does Tara cost?
You can start from ₹10 per question with a transparent INR wallet — no hidden fees or ticking-clock upsells. Longer voice or chat sessions bill per minute; WhatsApp text consults use the same wallet from ₹11/min; top-ups go through Razorpay or WhatsApp Pay with clear ledger reconciliation. See why Tara feels different for pricing and trust positioning.
What is Tara Stores?
Tara Stores — your protector, not a fear merchant When remedies are worth exploring, Tara offers lab-certified rudraksha and gems at honest prices — zero commission, zero dosha panic, zero pressure.
- Zero-commission remedies
- Lab-certified rudraksha and gems
- Honest pricing — no fear-based upsells
- Optional suggestions only — never pushed
“Traditionally, wearing a Blue Sapphire helps balance this energy. Your own actions are always your strongest remedy, but if you want to explore this path, I've made sure there is a genuine, fairly-priced option in Tara Stores.”
Is Tara accessible for older users or low vision?
Tara is voice-first with high-contrast visuals and large touch targets — built for ages 15 through 70. You can speak naturally instead of typing small fields, and the interface favors readability over dense visual clutter.
How does billing work?
Sessions can be billed per minute for text chat and voice after wallet top-up. WhatsApp live text consults use the same prepaid wallet from ₹11/min (not per message). Entry questions start from ₹10. Wallet top-ups go through Razorpay or WhatsApp Pay; webhooks and wallet ledgers reconcile credits and debits without ad-hoc manual ops.
Is there referral or promo tooling?
The product includes scaffolding for promotions and referrals. Exact rules, caps, and eligibility are shown in-app when an offer is active.
What charts are computed?
Tara aligns with Vedic-style, ephemeris-backed planetary math — not vibe-only narration. Planetary positions rely on Swiss Ephemeris computation (for example through pyswisseph). Accuracy still depends on correct birth inputs; users should treat outputs as reflective guidance rather than deterministic fact.

How should I interpret Tara's answers?
Outputs blend structured chart context with language generated by models such as Google Gemini. Automated systems can misread nuance — cross-check important choices with trusted humans and regulated professionals where appropriate. Review the Disclaimer alongside this FAQ.
Refunds, disputes, wallets
Published rules live in our Refund & Cancellation Policy and Terms of Service. Wallet top-ups and consumed session time are generally non-refundable except where the law requires or where we confirm a technical error on our side. Purchases through Apple App Store or Google Play follow those storefronts' refund and dispute policies.
Where do I download the apps?
Download links are on the home page — App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android. WhatsApp is available from the homepage when you prefer messaging over the app.
