Astronomy and the Vedic zodiac

Planet positions are calculated astronomically and converted to the sidereal (Vedic) zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard of the Indian national calendar and most Panchangs. Rahu and Ketu use the mean node by default; you can switch to the true node in any chart.

Classical sources

Charts, dashas, yogas and doshas follow Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Phaladeepika; Guna Milan and muhurats follow the traditional tables of electional astrology, as described in the Library.
