Technical Foundation: How We Achieve Accuracy
Ephemeris: Swiss Ephemeris v2.10 based on NASA JPL DE431 data, providing sub-arcsecond (0.001 degree) planetary position accuracy.
Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa - official standard of the Indian government since 1955, currently at 24° 10' 32" (2025).
Calculation Depth: 9 planets across 12 houses with 27 Nakshatra subdivisions, creating 2,916 unique position combinations.
Timing Precision: Vimshottari Dasha system provides timing predictions accurate to within 1-2 weeks according to traditional practice.
Swiss Ephemeris
The Swiss Ephemeris is a highly precise ephemeris developed by Astrodienst AG based on the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's DE431 planetary theory. It provides planetary positions with accuracy better than 0.001 degrees (sub-arcsecond) for dates spanning 13,000 BCE to 17,000 CE.

Lahiri Ayanamsa
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) Ayanamsa is the difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs, officially adopted by the Indian government in 1955 through the Calendar Reform Committee. The current value (2025) is approximately 24° 10' 32".

- Real-time: Planetary positions updated every calculation
How the Dasha System Creates Accurate Predictions
The Vimshottari Dasha System
The Vimshottari Dasha system, documented in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (c. 600 BCE), divides your life into a 120-year cycle of planetary periods. Each period is ruled by a different planet that influences specific aspects of your life:
Sun Dasha (6 years)
Leadership, authority, career advancement, fatherMoon Dasha (10 years)
Emotions, intuition, mind, mother, public lifeMars Dasha (7 years)
Energy, courage, action, siblings, property"The Swiss Ephemeris is based on the DE431 lunar and planetary ephemeris from NASA JPL, providing the most accurate planetary positions available for astrological calculations."

Frequently Asked Questions
Vedic astrology achieves higher accuracy through three mechanisms:
- Sidereal zodiac alignment with actual star positions (currently 24 degrees offset from Western tropical zodiac)
- Vimshottari Dasha timing system providing 120-year life mapping based on Moon's Nakshatra position
- Nakshatra-based calculations using 27 lunar mansions (13.3° each) versus Western 30° signs
The tropical zodiac (Western astrology) fixes 0 degrees Aries at the spring equinox point, which drifts backward through the constellations at approximately 1 degree every 72 years due to Earth's axial precession.
The sidereal zodiac (Vedic astrology) remains fixed relative to the actual star positions. The current difference (ayanamsa) is approximately 24 degrees, meaning someone with a Western "Aries Sun" typically has a Vedic "Pisces Sun."
This 24-degree offset significantly changes planetary house placements and predictions, which is why Vedic astrology requires exact birth time for accurate calculations.
