Same science, different map
The Vedic South report uses the same Jyotish system as the Vedic North — the same sidereal zodiac, the same planets, the same Dasha periods, the same Lahiri Ayanamsha. What differs is the chart format.
In the South Indian style, the twelve zodiac signs occupy fixed positions in a 4×3 grid — signs never move. The Ascendant sign is marked with a diagonal line. Planets are placed in whichever sign-box they occupy at the moment of birth. Many South Indian practitioners and scholars prefer this layout because it makes sign relationships immediately visible.
Contents of this report
- ◇South Indian Rasi chartThe birth chart in the fixed-grid format — all planetary positions mapped to their signs.
- ◇Navamsha (D9) chartThe ninth divisional chart — a finer view of the birth moment, used especially for character depth and relationship analysis.
- ◇Full planetary tableEvery planet with sign, degree, nakshatra, and house position in tabular form for easy reference.
- ◇Aspects tableWhich planets cast aspects to which signs and houses, calculated by Vedic aspect rules (different from Western orb-based aspects).
- ◇Sidereal positionsAll degrees are sidereal — corrected for the Ayanamsha, so they match the actual sky at the time of birth.
- ◇Vimshottari Dasha sequenceThe full 120-year planetary period system from the Moon's Nakshatra at birth.
Reading the report
The Rasi and Navamsha charts work together. The Rasi shows the planetary positions in the main chart. The Navamsha — literally "ninth division" — refines each sign into nine sub-segments, revealing qualities that the main chart may not fully express.
For someone new to Vedic astrology: start with the planetary table. Find your Moon's sign and Nakshatra. Then find your Ascendant (Lagna). These two points anchor every other interpretation. Take both charts to a Jyotish practitioner for a complete reading — this document gives them the clean mathematical foundation to begin.
