📖

What is a nakshatra?

The Moon’s 27 lunar mansions add a finer, more personal layer to the zodiac.

📖

Understanding the ascendant

The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth and anchors the houses of a chart.

📖

How tithi works

A tithi is a lunar day created by the changing angle between the Sun and Moon.

📖

The five limbs of Panchang

Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana form the traditional five-part daily calendar.

📖

What is a dasha?

Dashas are traditional planetary-period sequences used to think about changing chapters of life.

📖

How a gochar reading works

A gochar compares today’s moving planets with the fixed reference points in your birth chart.

📖

Sade Sati without fear

Sade Sati is the traditional seven-and-a-half-year Saturn passage around the birth Moon sign.

📖

What Navamsa (D9) adds

Navamsa divides every sign into nine parts to create a traditional supplementary chart.

📖

Why location changes a chart

Coordinates and time-zone rules affect the ascendant, sunrise and local Panchang timings.

📖

Maha Shivaratri

Late winter · Phalguna Krishna Chaturdashi. Traditionally observed when Chaturdashi prevails at nishita, the middle of the night.

📖

Holi

Spring · Phalguna full moon. This guide treats Holika Dahan and Rangwali Holi as distinct observances; local Panchang timing decides the fire ritual.

📖

Raksha Bandhan

Monsoon · Shravana full moon. The festival is observed on the full moon, with local timing guiding family rituals.

📖

Janmashtami

Monsoon · Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami. The principal rule is Ashtami prevailing at nishita, not simply appearing at any time in the day.

📖

Ganesh Chaturthi

Late monsoon · Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi. Chaturthi is the core lunar observance; families often follow local midday worship timing.

📖

Dussehra

Autumn · Ashwin Shukla Dashami. Dashami is traditionally checked at the afternoon ritual period, aparahna.

📖

Diwali

Autumn · Kartika Amavasya. Lakshmi Puja is traditionally tied to Amavasya prevailing at pradosh, around local sunset.
