Zero market

Turkey's astrology market: $5M+. One app, Faladdin, hit 20 million downloads. Vedic astrology in Turkey: zero digital products.

The goal — design and launch a platform from scratch: landing page, birth chart calculator, paid reports, glossary, forum. Bilingual, monetized through Shopier.

Not fortune-telling — education

2025: Faladdin's founder was arrested. "Fal" (fortune-telling) is a legal risk in Turkey. Positioning: education and self-awareness, not predictions. "Shows a tendency" instead of "this will happen." Classical texts (BPHS, Phaladeepika, Brihat Jataka) as the source. The platform explains concepts — Lagna, Rashi, Nakshatras, Dasha — in Turkish.

Platform — 6 products: calculator, Sade Sati, Dasha, glossary, consulting, forum

Birth chart calculator

Step-by-step form: date, time, city. VedAstro for calculations, OpenStreetMap for geocoding, TimeAPI for time zones. Real astronomical calculations, not generative AI. Free tier: basic chart. Paid reports: detailed AI interpretation via Claude. The calculator is embedded right in the landing — try it without navigating away.

Sade Sati — flagship product

Saturn's 7.5-year transit through three phases. For many in Turkey — their first encounter with Vedic astrology. Personalized report: timeline, current phase, recommendations.

Content strategy: Sade Sati as the entry point. Educational page explains the concept, calculator shows personal dates, paid report provides deep analysis.
