明 Ming Review

The fine print, enlarged

Terms & Disclaimer

Last updated November 9, 2026. Read this page the way our method page reads a chart: carefully, and with the sources in view.

The disclaimer that matters most

Ming Review publishes readings of a classical destiny-astrology system for reflection and entertainment. Nothing on this site — chart, report, annual guide, or newsletter — is medical, mental-health, legal, or financial advice, and nothing here substitutes for a qualified professional in any of those fields. For health concerns, see a qualified practitioner and follow their advice.

Who may use this service

Adults 18 and older. Birth-date validation enforces this at the chart form. If you are under 18, close the tab and come back when the chart has more data on you anyway.

How our reports are produced (AI disclosure)

Chart calculation is deterministic software: solar-term boundaries, true solar time, classical star-placement rules. Interpretations are rendered by machine from a curated classical corpus and drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed by a human editor before publication. Every published claim carries a visible badge stating its classical source and its review status. We disclose the machine's role because we consider disclosure a feature — in line with the EU AI Act's transparency direction — not a liability.

Accuracy, honestly stated

We compute to astronomical precision and show our working. But destiny astrology is a classical interpretive tradition, not a science, and we do not claim predictive certainty for any reading. Where the classical sources disagree, our method page says which resolution we chose and why. If a reading proves materially wrong about its own method, tell us — corrections are printed where the error was.

Paid reports

The Purple Star Report is a digital product delivered on-screen. If a report arrives with a computation error (wrong pillars, wrong palace grid), we fix it and re-deliver — that is a defect, not a reading. If it simply does not resonate, that is the tradition speaking ambiguously, and our refund policy for first purchases reflects good faith on both sides. Full terms are confirmed at checkout before any payment.

Acceptable use

Do not scrape the site at volumes that degrade it, do not misrepresent our readings as professional advice to others, and do not attempt to reverse-engineer paid content into a competing corpus. Everything else a reasonable reader would do is welcome.

Changes

If these terms change materially, we will say so in the newsletter before the change takes effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
