Real Jyotish. Computed live. Cited honestly.
That wheel beside you is the working model. 12 rashis on the outer ring. 27 nakshatras in the middle. 9 grahas in their houses, breathing. A Sri Yantra at the centre. Every other app shows you a sun-sign cartoon. We show you the system.
Ask both apps the same question. Watch what happens.
Live demo — the question rotates every few seconds. Same input. Two completely different ideas of what astrology can be.

Panditji · Normal mode
Mars in the 10th holds digbala — directional strength. For Karka and Vrishchika lagnas this becomes a yogakaraka placement, conferring authority but demanding sustained, disciplined action over flashes of effort.
The three things we will not compromise on
These are the rules we wrote on day one and have not bent since.
Classical texts, not templates
Every reply is grounded in primary sources. Our corpus includes Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra, Brihat Jataka, Saravali, Phaladeepika, Hora Sara, Sarvartha Chintamani, Uttara Kalamrita, Jaimini Sutras, Muhurta Chintamani, Surya Siddhanta, Manusmriti, Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, Yoga Sutras, Stotras, Chalisas, Ramcharitmanas — plus 70 others.
When Panditji answers a question about your Mars in the 10th, it cites the chapter and verse it drew on. No invented authority.
Live ephemeris, not cached tables
Planetary positions are computed at request time using NASA-grade Swiss Ephemeris (DE440) with Lahiri ayanamsa correction — the same engine professional astrologers use.
No pre-baked sun-sign content. Your Kundli is unique to the second of your birth, anchored to the precise latitude and longitude of your birth place.
Your data stays yours
Birth date, time, and place are encrypted at rest. We never sell user data and serve zero third-party ads.

The nine grahas, the way the shastras describe them
In Jyotish a graha is not just a body in space — it is a karaka (significator), it rules signs, it carries a nature (benefic, malefic, neutral) and it presides over a day of the week. Your chart sets nine of them in motion at once.

Your life, on a 120-year clock
The Vimshottari mahadasha system divides your life into nine planetary periods. Which planet rules you right now — Mercury sub-Venus? Jupiter sub-Saturn? — is what colours every transit reading.
The maths underneath
Astrology and astronomy parted ways a few hundred years ago but the maths is shared. Here is what is actually being computed when you tap a button.
12 rashis · 27 nakshatras · 108 padas
The zodiac is divided 12-fold for signs, 27-fold for nakshatras (each 13°20' wide), and each nakshatra is sub-divided into 4 padas — giving 108 distinct lunar mansions, each with its own ruling deity, planetary lord, and karaka role.
9 grahas, computed live
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn — plus the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. Positions resolved against the Swiss Ephemeris DE440, accurate to milli-arcseconds across a 30-millennium window.
Vimshottari dasha, 120-year cycle
The mahadasha sequence (Ketu 7 · Venus 20 · Sun 6 · Moon 10 · Mars 7 · Rahu 18 · Jupiter 16 · Saturn 19 · Mercury 17) is computed from your moon’s nakshatra and stretched against your real birth-to-now timeline.
16 vargas (divisional charts)
D1, D2, D3, D4, D7, D9, D10, D12, D16, D20, D24, D27, D30, D40, D45, D60 — each surfaces a slice of life. D9 for marriage, D10 for career, D7 for children, D60 for the deepest karmic read.
Why we render the sidereal zodiac, not the tropical one
Earth’s axis precesses ~50.3″ per year, drifting the tropical zodiac about 1° every 72 years. The Lahiri ayanamsa keeps your reading anchored to the actual stars.
