What does a Retrograde (R) planet mean in the chart?

Retrograde motion (marked as R) is an apparent backward movement of a planet across the sky relative to Earth. In Vedic astrology, retrograde planets indicate intensified karmic energy, internal reflection, or unique behavioral expressions.

What does a Combust (C) planet mean?

Combustion (marked as C) occurs when a planet transits very close to the Sun (typically within 6° to 12° depending on the planet). This solar proximity internalizes the planet's physical expression while heightening its spiritual dimension.

Why are Lahiri Ayanamsha and Sidereal Zodiac used?

The sidereal zodiac accounts for the actual astronomical precession of equinoxes, measuring planetary longitudes against fixed stellar constellations rather than seasonal positions.

What are Divisional Charts (Varga Charts)?

Divisional charts (D-1 Rashi through D-60 Shashtyamsa) divide zodiac signs into microscopic mathematical segments to reveal specific life dimensions such as marriage (D-9 Navamsha), career (D-10 Dasamsha), and spiritual growth.

About This Page

The chart above shows the sidereal (Lahiri ayanamsa) positions of each planet at the date, time and place set above, in your chosen chart style (North or South Indian) and divisional chart (D-1 through D-60). The table lists each planet's longitude (as sign + degree, and as a raw 0–360° number), latitude, daily motion speed, the Nakshatra it falls in with its ruling lord and Pada, declination (angular distance north or south of the celestial equator), right ascension, and current motion. A planet currently retrograde is marked (R) and one currently combust (too close to the Sun) is marked (C) next to its name. Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) are always retrograde by definition, so no declination, speed or right ascension is shown for them.

Frequently Asked Questions about Planetary Positions

Planetary positions are calculated using the Lahiri Ayanamsha (sidereal zodiac) and exact astronomical longitudes for your specified date, time, and location coordinates.
