Birth details

Use the time recorded at birth. A few minutes can change the ascendant near a boundary.

Birth date

Local birth time

Birth placeChoose a preset or enter coordinates and an IANA timezone.

Use a recorded exact time. This form does not model time uncertainty, so a guessed time can change the rising sign and houses.

Your D1 Rashi chart

Calculation method

This chart uses Astronomy Engine with an approximate Lahiri-style sidereal offset. It is not Swiss Ephemeris-equivalent; placements near boundaries may differ from another tool. Do not use it for consequential decisions.

D1 Rashi chart · two views

South Indian keeps signs fixed; North Indian keeps houses fixed. Both show the same calculated D1 placements. Sign names are abbreviated in the South Indian grid.

South Indian

North Indian

North Indian labels show house (H) and sign number (Aries 1 through Pisces 12). Planet codes: Su Sun, Mo Moon, Ma Mars, Me Mercury, Ju Jupiter, Ve Venus, Sa Saturn, Ra Rahu, Ke Ketu.

Navamsha (D9) · two views

Each D1 sign is divided into nine parts. Both drawings use the same mapped D9 signs and houses.

South Indian

North Indian

Fine divisions are sensitive to birth-time and sidereal-offset differences near their boundaries.

Placements

Sidereal longitude within each sign. Nodes use the mean-node convention.

Swipe the table sideways to see all columns.

Body	Sign	Degree	House	Nakshatra

Shodashvarga: all 16 divisions

Calculated signs for the ascendant and nine bodies using the stated Parashari mapping for each division.

Swipe horizontally for all placements. D30 uses unequal traditional segments; D60 and other fine divisions are especially sensitive to input and ayanamsa differences.

Jaimini calculations

Seven classical chara karakas and twelve whole-sign arudha padas, with the selected conventions shown below.

Chara karakas

Role	Body	Degree in sign

Arudha padas

Pada	Source sign	Classical lord	Lord in	Arudha sign

This uses seven karakas (excluding Rahu), Mars for Scorpio, Saturn for Aquarius, and the 10th-from-projection exception. It does not calculate Jaimini dashas.

KP-style star and sub-lord divisions

The Vimshottari star/sub rule is applied to this chart’s approximate sidereal longitudes.

Body	Star	Star lord	Sub lord

This is not a complete KP chart: KP ayanamsa, Placidus cusps, cuspal sub-lords and significators are not calculated. Do not treat this table as an authoritative KP result.

What you are looking at

01 / Rashi

Signs

The sidereal circle is divided into twelve 30° signs. A planet’s longitude determines which sign it occupies.

02 / Bhava

Houses

In this whole-sign chart, the rising sign is house one. Each following sign is the next house.

03 / Nakshatra

Lunar divisions

The 360° circle is also divided into 27 equal nakshatras. Each has four equal padas.

04 / Ayanamsa

Sidereal offset

An ayanamsa shifts tropical longitudes into a sidereal reference. Different methods can produce different placements near boundaries.

These are definitions of the calculation model, not personality readings or predictions.
