2. Service Description
AstralRead provides AI-powered astrological and psychological consultation services. The Service computes natal charts based on astronomical data (Swiss Ephemeris) and generates interpretations using artificial intelligence trained on classical astrological and psychological literature.

Use of these works is performed under the fair-use doctrine, the EU Text and Data Mining exception (Directive (EU) 2019/790, Article 4), and analogous provisions in the laws of Montenegro and other applicable jurisdictions.
