How we calculate

Where the planet positions come from

Rashifal, muhurat, Sade Sati, transit and calendar pages are calculated on our own server from astronomical ephemerides (the open-source astronomy-engine library, based on the VSOP87 and ELP theories). Positions are converted to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard used by Indian panchangs.

Kundli charts (the ₹51 reports and free chart tools) use the vedastro.org calculation service for house and dasha tables, with birth timezones worked out from the IANA time-zone database for the exact date.

How a rashifal is made

A rashifal page is not written by a person or by an AI model. For your rashi (Moon sign) we count which house each planet occupies from that sign and apply the classical gochar rules from Phaladeepika and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra — for example, the Moon is supportive from the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th houses, Jupiter from the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th.

The star rating and the career, money, love and health bars show the weighted share of relevant planets in supportive houses. They describe the mood of a period. They are not predictions of events and they are the same for everyone with that Moon sign.

How muhurat lists are made

For each day of the year we compute the tithi and nakshatra (at midday, and in the evening for weddings) and keep days that match the classical lists for the event, on a permitted weekday. We then remove Chaturmas, Kharmas, Adhik maas, Holashtak and days when Venus or Jupiter is combust, using lunar months worked out from the actual new moons.

This is a screening list. Your family's tradition, kundli matching and your pandit's choice of the exact time decide the final muhurat.

Festival and vrat dates

Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya dates are the days on which the tithi is present at Delhi sunrise, with the tithi's exact start and end time shown. Different panchang traditions (Smarta, Vaishnava) sometimes pick different days when a tithi straddles two sunrises; the times let you choose.

What we compare against

We compared the position engine with vedastro.org's chart for the positions of all nine grahas, the tithi, paksha and nakshatra on several dates, and spot-checked planetary sign-change and retrograde dates and 2026 festival dates (Devshayani and Prabodhini Ekadashi, Holika Dahan, Raksha Bandhan, Sharad Purnima, Mahalaya Amavasya) against widely reported dates.

Known limits

Times near a tithi or sign boundary can differ by a few minutes from another panchang. Clock times are shown for Delhi in IST; a city's sunrise differs, so use the Panchang tool for your own city. Sign-level readings cannot know your lagna, dasha or planetary strengths, which is exactly what a personal kundli adds.

Astrology is guidance, not medical, legal or financial advice. Nothing on this site predicts a wedding date, an exam result or an investment outcome.

Where AI is and is not used

AI models are used in the chat service and in written analysis reports, which cite classical texts and are checked by an astrologer before delivery. The computed pages above (rashifal, muhurat, Sade Sati, gochar, retrograde and calendar) do not use AI to produce their content.

Corrections

If you find a date or statement that looks wrong, tell us on WhatsApp or through the contact page and we will check and correct it.
