Vedic Positions, Not Western

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.

Reading the Kerala Chart

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these positions Vedic or Western? +

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.

Why does the Ascendant change when I change the place? +

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.

What does retrograde (℞) mean? +

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.

What is combustion? +

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.

What is Mandi? +

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.
