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

Calculated chart
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.
Signs stay in fixed positions. “L” marks the ascendant; house numbers begin there.
Each D1 sign is divided into nine parts. D9 signs and houses are mapped from those sidereal longitudes, using the movable/fixed/dual starting rule.
Fine divisions are sensitive to birth-time and sidereal-offset differences near their boundaries.

In this whole-sign chart, the rising sign is house one. Each following sign is the next house.
The 360° circle is also divided into 27 equal nakshatras. Each has four equal padas.
An ayanamsa shifts tropical longitudes into a sidereal reference. Different methods can produce different placements near boundaries.
