Want your own birth chart? Try the Jathakam Chart or Nakshatra Finder.
Most "planet positions today" pages you find are Western (tropical). That's why they often show the Sun a whole sign ahead of what your panchangam says.
This page is sidereal, with the Lahiri ayanamsa used by Kerala and Indian panchangams. The numbers here match your jathakam and the Malayalam calendar.
We calculate with the Swiss Ephemeris, down to the second of arc.
The chart is drawn in the South Indian fixed style. Medam (Aries) is always the second box on the top row, and the signs run clockwise from there.
The shaded box is the Lagna. Switch to Malayalam to see the traditional short forms, like ര for the Sun and മ for Saturn.
Need today's star and timings too? See Nakshatra Today and Rahu Kalam.
Vedic (sidereal). We subtract the Lahiri ayanamsa, currently 24°13'50", from the true positions. Western sites use the tropical zodiac, so their signs are usually one sign ahead of ours.
The Lagna depends on the exact time and place and moves through all 12 signs in a day. The planets themselves are in the same sign for everyone at a given moment.
A planet looks like it is moving backwards from Earth for a while. Rahu and Ketu always move this way, so we don't flag them separately in the chart.
A planet too close to the Sun is called combust (moudhyam). Its results are said to weaken while it is hidden in the Sun's glare.
Mandi (Gulika) is a sensitive point used heavily in Kerala astrology. It is worked out from the weekday and the sunrise or sunset time, and is shown in every traditional grahanila.
