What this tool calculates

The Moon’s sidereal longitude is mapped into 27 equal segments of 13°20′, each divided into four padas of 3°20′. The calculation is deterministic. Boundary labels remain provisional because this beta uses an approximate sidereal offset.

It uses the same Astronomy Engine calculation and conventions as the D1 chart. For the full placement table, chart, birth instant, coordinates, and method details, create a chart.
