Isn’t a big part of your userbase into new age stuff? If you think of it as nonsense, how do you earnestly try to serve them? Aren’t they asking for features you think are bunk?
It’s up to the user to devise their own interpretations. I do not do any interpretations, and that’s by choice. Pure calculations.
And what I have discovered is that all “astrologers” are different. Some are into glossy magazine style horoscopes. Others are more interested in a kind of “celestial statistics” — how and when things align, how movements create harmonics, etc. There’s a rich field of mathematical thinking if one wishes for that.
Everybody gets their own piece of cake. I am happy with what I do, they are happy with the toolkit provided. One can’t judge a pocket calculator for how it may be used.
Funky feature requests? Surprisingly not that often. The reason is perhaps the intent behind the app. It doesn’t classify itself as a “crystal ball”, it’s a calculator. So I stick to what is called “classical astrology”, ie something borderline between astronomy, philosophy and mathematics. Pure foundational basics.
A chiropractor uses maps of human bodies to understand where things are, even though they use the information differently than doctors and surgeons, both groups base their understanding on the same facts.
I'm guessing the same can apply in more areas than medicine too.
Chiropractors base their knowledge on secret messages from a ghost [1].

But let’s be honest: it isn’t scientific in the least, no matter what modern practitioners have gussied it up with.
