LLMs fail to accurately compute astrological charts, requiring deterministic engines

Large language models (LLMs) are unable to accurately compute astrological charts like Korean saju or Chinese BaZi, despite generating fluent-sounding interpretations. These charts require precise calculations based on astronomical events and calendar functions, such as solar terms and the sexagenary cycle, which LLMs cannot perform. Instead, LLMs generate plausible guesses by predicting typical chart patterns for similar dates. To address this, a deterministic engine has been developed to perform the exact calculations, with an LLM then used solely to interpret the computed facts, ensuring accuracy and preventing the LLM from fabricating astrological data.
