House 1 (Lagna) at top-left · Planets shown by abbreviated names · Numbers = Rashi
⬆ Lagna (Ascendant)
The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. The Lagna is the most important point in Vedic astrology — it governs your physical body, personality, overall life path, and determines the house system for your entire chart.
🌙 Moon Sign (Rashi)
Your Moon sign reveals your emotional nature, instincts, mental patterns, and subconscious mind. In Vedic astrology, the Moon sign is used as the primary reference for daily horoscopes, emotional compatibility, and the Mahadasha planetary period cycle.
⭐ Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion)
One of 27 lunar mansions in Vedic astrology, each spanning exactly 13°20' of the zodiac. Your birth Nakshatra reveals your deepest karmic blueprint, personality subtleties, and determines the starting point of your Vimshottari Mahadasha planetary period sequence.
⏳ Vimshottari Mahadasha
A 120-year planetary period cycle beginning from the Moon's Nakshatra at birth. Each of the 9 planets rules a major life period (6 to 20 years) that powerfully shapes career, relationships, health, and spiritual growth during its activation.
✨ Yogas
Planetary combinations (Yogas) in Vedic astrology indicate specific life outcomes and blessings. Major Yogas like Gaja Kesari, Budha-Aditya, and the Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas (Hamsa, Malavya, Ruchaka, Bhadra, Sasa) indicate exceptional abilities and fortune.
💠 Navamsa (D9)
The Navamsa (D9) divisional chart is the most important harmonic chart in Vedic astrology, used to assess marriage, dharma, and the deeper spiritual potential of the birth chart. Each sign is divided into 9 equal parts of 3°20' each.
HoroscopePath uses the Lahiri Ayanamsa — officially adopted by the Government of India's National Calendar Committee and the most widely used ayanamsa in classical Vedic (Jyotish) practice. The ayanamsa corrects for the ~24° difference between the tropical zodiac (used in Western astrology) and the sidereal zodiac (used in Vedic astrology), ensuring your Moon sign, Lagna, and Nakshatra correspond to actual stellar positions rather than seasonal approximations.
This calculator uses VSOP87 truncated series for planetary positions (arc-minute accuracy), ELP2000-82 for Moon longitude (~10 arcsecond accuracy), and the RAMC-based oblique ascension method for the Ascendant — the same algorithms used by professional Vedic astrology software.
