Presenting — MAYA ✨
A next-generation Vedic astrology experience designed for self-understanding, emotional reflection, and meaningful life guidance.
🔮 My Config Makeathon Submission!
🌌 The Problem
Today, millions of people turn to astrology seeking clarity, emotional understanding, and guidance through uncertain phases of life.
But most astrology platforms still feel:
overly technical
visually outdated
emotionally disconnected
or focused only on generic horoscope content.
They often present charts and predictions without helping users truly reflect on their personal journey, emotional cycles, or long-term growth.
Astrology has the potential to become something deeper:
not just prediction…
but meaningful self-understanding.
✨ The Solution
MAYA is an immersive Vedic astrology platform designed to combine authentic astrological systems with emotional reflection and cinematic storytelling.
Users can:
Generate North & South Indian birth charts
Explore divisional charts from D1 to D60
View Vimshottari Mahadasha & Antardasha timelines
Receive personalized planetary insights and remedies
Explore Panchang and Muhurat guidance
Export astrology reports as PDFs
Save multiple profiles and revisit past analyses
🌙 Reflection Journal
MAYA also introduces a Reflection Journal system where users can record personal thoughts, emotions, and life experiences during different planetary phases.
The goal is to help users build a deeper understanding of how emotional patterns and life transitions evolve over time.
Because astrology should not only explain life…
it should help people reflect on it more meaningfully.
🛠️ Process & Figma Workflow
MAYA was designed and prototyped primarily using Figma’s AI-powered workflow ecosystem.
Tools used:
Figma Make
Figma Design
AI prompting workflows
Manual code editing inside Figma Make
Interactive prototyping systems
Workflow:
Used iterative prompting to rapidly generate screens and interactions
Designed cinematic UI systems and immersive visual storytelling
Built astrology dashboards, chart systems, timelines, and journal experiences
Used manual code editing for layout fixes, typography refinement, and component improvements without consuming additional AI credits
The project evolved through multiple prompt iterations and rapid experimentation directly inside Figma Make.
