How it works

Computed first. Interpreted second. Every answer begins with charts calculated from precise astronomical data, never from a language model’s imagination. Interpretation enters only at the end, to read what the computed factors say, in your language, for your question.

The pipeline

1. Birth details: date, time, place, and how confident the time is.
2. Timezone normalization: the birthplace resolved to coordinates and its IANA timezone, with daylight saving handled correctly.
3. The birth chart, computed.
4. The divisional charts, computed.
5. Dasha periods and sub-periods, computed.
6. Current transits, read against natal positions.
7. The panchang and muhurats for your city’s own sunrise.
8. Your record: what has already been asked, read, and prescribed.
9. Only then: the interpreted answer.

What is computed

• Swiss Ephemeris: high-precision astronomical data derived from JPL ephemerides, the same data serious astrology software is built on.
• Pushya-paksha ayanamsha: the sidereal offset that aligns the zodiac to the sky. Most software defaults to Lahiri; PanchangJi follows the Pushya-paksha alignment argued for in detail by PVR Narasimha Rao, and chose it after checking both against real charts.
• Whole-sign houses: the classical house system.
• The divisional charts: the full varga set, D2 through D60, by the traditional Parashara methods: the navamsha for marriage, the dashamsha for career, each for its domain.
• Vimshottari dasha: your planetary periods and their sub-periods.
• Jaimini karakas: a second, independent classical lens.
• Shadbala and ashtakavarga: planetary strength, measured classically.
• Dosha analysis: read plainly, as features of the terrain, never as fear.
• Compatibility: kundali matching with ashtakoota scores, alongside the deeper navamsha reading.
• Panchang and muhurat: tithis, festivals, and auspicious windows computed for your city’s sunrise, not India’s.

When the birth time is uncertain

The chart’s confidence level is marked and carried into every reading. Lagna-dependent details are not over-read when the time is provisional, and you are told which readings depend on it.

Where interpretation sits

The interpretation never invents a chart position, a dasha date, or a muhurat: it reads the computed factors, with your question and your record in view, and answers in plain language. The same birth details produce the same charts every time; any traditional astrologer can verify them line by line.

Honesty about agreement

A serious reading triangulates. Where the frameworks agree, the answer is firm. Where they differ, you are told that too.
