What it does

Shows your houses by the Sripati (Bhava Chalit) method, where each house is centred on a house midpoint instead of being a whole sign, and lists planets that shift to a different house.

Why it matters

In the main chart a planet at the edge of a sign sits in that sign's house. Bhava Chalit asks whether, by the midpoint method, it moves into the neighbouring house. Some astrologers read that shift as important.

How it is worked out

  1. The ascendant and the midheaven (the highest point of the sky) are computed.
  2. House midpoints (bhava madhya) are placed between them by the Porphyry/Sripati method.
  3. Each house runs from the midpoint between two midpoints; each planet is assigned to the house that contains its longitude.

How to read your result

  • The 'shifted' list shows planets whose Rasi house and Chalit house differ.
  • The two rows of house numbers let you compare the whole-sign chart with the Chalit chart.

What it cannot tell you

Needs an exact birth time. Whether to use Rasi houses or Chalit houses is a school choice; Astavya shows both.
