01
Eligibility
A client must be registered and have consulted the astrologer to be eligible to leave feedback.
Consultation-eligible ratings and reviews
Your best evidence is the experience of real clients.
BhriguSutra already supports ratings and reviews by registered clients who have consulted an astrologer. Understand how this supports transparency—and what it cannot prove.
What gets verified
A real consultation relationship, not a promised outcome.
The review eligibility rule limits participation to clients with a consultation relationship. A verified consultation is not a certification of astrological knowledge or accurate future predictions.
02
Experience signal
Ratings help describe reported client satisfaction and experiences. Assess sample size, context and recency where published.
03
Professional visibility
Public aggregate ratings provide one input alongside experience, credentials and professional methodology.
The Bhrigu reputation flywheel
A consultation should create more than a transaction.
A good experience can contribute to an enduring record of client trust. This is the growth mechanism BhriguSutra is designed to support—not a promise of automatic referrals.
01Consultation
→An astrologer serves a client.
02Eligible feedback
→A genuine client may leave a rating or review.
03Visible reputation
→Consultation-backed feedback builds a public trust signal.
04Better-informed choice
→New clients can evaluate experience and professional background.
05Continued relationships
Follow-ups, repeat business and referrals become possible.
Verified eligibility is not a certification of prediction accuracy. Ratings reflect client experience; commercial results are not guaranteed.
Fairness by design
Genuine feedback deserves protection.
A credible reputation system must resist fake reviews while protecting honest criticism and client privacy. These are governance priorities; verify which controls are already implemented.
Reject manipulation
No purchased favourable reviews or review incentives tied to a particular rating.
Respect client privacy
Do not expose private consultation details in public reviews without informed consent.
Be fair to practitioners
Provide transparent rules for authentic negative feedback, abuse and disputes.
Common questions
How should astrologers interpret client ratings?
Who can submit a review?
Registered clients who have consulted the astrologer are eligible under the existing review feature. Additional consultation verification methods should be checked against production.
Can I purchase positive ratings?
No. Trust requires authentic feedback rather than paid positive sentiment or manipulation.
Does a high rating certify an astrologer?
No. Ratings concern client experience; verification should refer to consultation eligibility, not guaranteed predictive outcomes.
What if I receive criticism?
Negative feedback can be genuine. The production policy must describe content moderation, factual disputes and appeal mechanisms.
Can I show named client testimonials?
The earlier MVP specification allows public aggregates but not client-specific named reviews. Confirm actual production exposure before publishing identifiable testimonials.
