I'm afraid to ask about the use case ;)

Presumably to avoid deploying in unfavourable consolations.

The word is constellations. Sorry for correcting you but it took me a bit to figure out what you were trying to say :)

Haha.. This should be a boon to religious Hindu coders (if there are any). LOL - Based on Brihaspati' proximity to Mangal's orbit (I have no idea what I am saying) you could choose to not release to minimize your bad luck. I love this - and you actually have a use case. You should shop this around as an app to the big Indian outsourcing firms. All the best!

Does this use sidereal or tropical astrology? I think Hindu astrology uses the sidereal system. (Does it sound like I know what I'm talking about?)

This could be integrated in to an SDK - Superstitious Developer Kit. Other tools in the chain could check for things like Friday the 13th, the occurrence of three consecutive sixes in your IP address, and tell you which oils to vaporise, incense to burn, crystals to wear, homoeopathic prophylactics to take, whether it's okay to build or deploy if you, your mother, or sister(s) are menstruating, and so on and so forth.

To be fair, the messages this produces make more sense as part of a build that some I've seen.

Am I correct that it only tests for conjunction with an orb of 1 degree? There are many aspects, some positive and some negative. Planets are also considered to align when they stand up to 8 degree apart. An improved version would for example deploy when there is a triangle or conjunction, but fail on an opposition or square. But as any astrologer will tell you, planned dates are meaningless. So yes, why indeed?
