Terms of service

Who we are

Bytara is a Vedic astrology (Jyotish) studio operated by Astral Lumina in Melbourne, Australia. Readings are written by our astrologer, Tara.

What you're buying

Each reading is a written report prepared by hand from the birth chart(s) you give us, delivered as a PDF by email. The Life Blueprint also includes a printed hardcover, posted to you at no extra cost.

Every reading includes one follow-up email for questions about your chart, sent within 7 days of receiving your reading.

Ordering and payment

Prices are shown in Australian dollars (AUD) and charged through Stripe. We never see or store your card details. Stripe emails you a receipt once payment is complete.

Your order is confirmed when payment succeeds. You'll then receive a link to a short intake form for your birth details.

Your details

• Please give birth details that are as accurate as you can. Readings are calculated from them, and errors in the date, time or place change the chart. Your birth time needs to be accurate to within five minutes; if it isn't from a birth certificate or hospital record, time rectification must be added before the reading begins.
• For a synastry reading you'll also give another person's birth details. By doing so you confirm they're happy for you to share them with us for this purpose.
• You can amend your details before your astrologer begins writing, by reopening the intake link.

Delivery

Readings usually arrive within 7–14 days. With the expedited add-on we deliver within three working days. Both windows start once we have your completed intake form, so a late form means a later reading. We'll remind you by email if we're still waiting for it.

Printed books are posted after the PDF is delivered. Postage time depends on your country.

What a reading is, and isn't

A reading offers guidance and perspective drawn from your chart. It isn't a prediction of fixed outcomes. The choices you make, and their results, remain yours.

A reading isn't medical, psychological, legal or financial advice, and it isn't a substitute for it. Please speak to a qualified professional about those matters.

Refunds

Because every reading is made to order, we don't offer refunds for change of mind. Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are not affected. The full policy is on our Refunds & cancellations page.

Your reading is yours to keep

Your reading is written for you, for your personal use. You're welcome to share it with people close to you. Please don't republish it, sell it, or present it as your own work. The text and design remain ours.

Our responsibility

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any right you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other laws that can't be excluded. Beyond those rights, our responsibility for any order is limited to correcting the reading or refunding what you paid for it.

Changes and governing law

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page when you place your order applies to that order. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.
