Why it matters
Almost every other tool is a close-up of something already in this chart. If you are new, start here: it is the map the rest of the tradition reads.
How it is worked out
- Your local birth time and place are converted to universal time (UTC), because astronomy is calculated in UTC.
- Each planet's apparent position is computed with an astronomy library and checked against NASA JPL reference positions.
- The (Lahiri by default) is subtracted to move to the .
- The is the zodiac point rising on the eastern horizon; whole-sign count from it. Other house methods are available in settings.
- Astavya tags each planet with its , and status using documented rules.
How to read your result
- The diamond (North Indian) or square (South Indian) chart: tap a planet or house to see a personal explanation of what it means and how it was derived.
- The planet table lists exact degrees. Planets within about a degree of a sign edge are sensitive to a small time error.
- The 'rules used' and 'calculation signature' at the bottom let you or another astrologer reproduce the result exactly.
What it cannot tell you
Without a birth time the lagna and houses cannot be known, and the Moon may fall in two signs; the tool says so and withholds what it cannot support. A chart is a picture of the sky, not a prediction.
