sidereal zodiacclassical Indian, transmitted continuously to present practice110 rules
Vedic (Jyotiṣa)
The Indian sidereal system represented here by a deliberately small source-bound corpus. Its calendrical arithmetic is reproducible; every newly encoded natal, timing, mundane, or corporate interpretation remains withheld until passage fidelity and rule formalization receive scoped practitioner review.
Every rule below is recorded as documented interpretive tradition with no empirical validation. The provenance badge states how faithfully the record represents its source; it is not a measure of whether the rule is true. Prohibited uses: medical diagnosis, prognosis, or treatment decisions; legal conclusions or advice; investment, trading, or other financial decisions; predictions of death, disaster, or pregnancy outcomes; claims that a chart determines personality, capability, or behaviour; guarantees about future events; high-stakes decisions taken on astrological grounds alone; employment, lending, insurance, or housing decisions about a person.
The tradition classes these four nakshatras as stable (Dhruva) and directs that undertakings meant to endure — planting, building, sowing, and acts of public utility — be begun while the Moon passes through them.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The Moon occupies one of the four stable (Dhruva) nakshatras.
Source passages
“Of these 28 constellations (nakṣatra), those of Uttaraphālguni, Uttarāṣāḍha and Uttarabhādrapada together with the constellation of Rohiṇī are known as (Dhruva) stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The edition transliterates the nakshatra names differently from the forms used in `lib/panchanga.ts`; the rule maps them to the canonical forms and the mapping is stated in its boundary.
“Coronation of kings, expiatory ceremonies, planting of trees, the building of towns, acts of public utility, the sowing of seeds and acts of permanent effects shall he commenced when the Moon passes through the stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The cited edition reads “shall he commenced”, evidently a compositor’s error for “shall be commenced”. Transcribed as printed rather than silently corrected.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way. The nakshatra names are matched against the canonical forms used by the pañcāṅga computation; the 1884 edition spells them Uttaraphālguni, Uttarāṣāḍha and Uttarabhādrapada, and that normalisation is a transcription decision rather than a doctrinal one.
The tradition classes these three nakshatras as light (Laghu) and associates them with sales, the acquisition of knowledge, the arts, and similar undertakings.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The Moon occupies one of the three light (Laghu) nakshatras.
Source passages
“The constellations (nakṣatra) of Hasta. Aśvinī and Puṣya are known as (Laghu) light asterisms.”
Transcription note: The full stop after “Hasta” is a comma in the printed text; retained here as the edition transcribes it.
“Sales, acts of sexual love, acquisition of knowledge, wearing of ornaments, arts, sculpture, medicine purchase of carriage and the like shall be commenced when the Moon passes through the light asterisms.”
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way.
The tradition classes these four nakshatras as soft (Mṛdu) and associates them with acts of friendship, the making of ornaments, music, and auspicious undertakings generally.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The Moon occupies one of the four soft (Mṛdu) nakshatras.
Source passages
“The constellations (nakṣatra) of Anurādhā, Citrā, Revatī and Mṛgaśīrṣa are known as (Mṛdu) soft asterisms.”
“Acts of friendship, sexual union, the purchase of clothes, the wearing or making of ornaments, any auspicious deeds and music shall be commenced when the Moon passes through the soft asterisms.”
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way.
The tradition prohibits shaving on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, and the same verse extends the prohibition to twilight and night hours, Riktā tithis, the ninth lunar day, and the Bhadra karaṇa.
Chart conditions
panchanga.vara — The vāra is Tuesday, Saturday or Sunday.
Source passages
“Shaving is prohibited in twilight hours, hours of night, on Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, on Rikta Tithis, on the ninth lunar day and when the karaṇa is Bhadra.”
Transcription note: A footnote marker after “Rikta” in the source is omitted. This verse is the evidence that Riktā avoidance and the Bhadra prohibition are Varāhamihira’s own, not only later doctrine.
Disagreements
The verse conditions a single act on several limbs at once. This rule fires on the vāra alone; the tithi and karaṇa conditions in the same verse are recorded in the passage but are not separately evaluated, so the rule is narrower than the source.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way. The rule is deliberately narrower than its verse: the source joins several conditions with "or", which the condition model, being a conjunction of limbs, cannot express.
Transcription note: Transcribed in full for fidelity. Only the prohibition is carried into a rule; the remainder of the verse is recorded as historical text and is not acted on, and the prohibited uses attached to this layer forbid it.
Disagreements
Later muhūrta literature narrows the prohibition by the portion of Bhadra that falls in daylight and by which loka it is held to occupy, so practice varies on how much of the period is avoided.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way. Only the prohibition in the cited verse is carried into this rule; the remainder of the verse is recorded in the passage for transcription fidelity and is not acted on.
The tradition holds that the Bava karaṇa suits auspicious undertakings, whether of a moveable or a fixed character, and acts directed at health and comfort.
Chart conditions
panchanga.karana — The karaṇa current at the moment under consideration is Bava.
Source passages
“In a Bava Karaṇa shall be done deeds of an auspicious, a moveable or a fixed character as well as deeds for the promotion of a person’s health or comfort.”
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way.
The tradition sorts the fifteen tithis of a fortnight into five named groups — Nandā, Bhadrā, Vijayā, Riktā and Pūrṇā — which later practice treats as the basis for selecting or avoiding a lunar day, Riktā being the group generally avoided.
Chart conditions
panchanga.tithi — The tithi current at the moment under consideration, taken within its fortnight.
Source passages
“The 1st, 6th and 11th lunar days are known as Nandā; the 2nd, 7th, and 12th, lunar days are known as Bhadrā; the 3rd, 8th and 13th lunar days are known as Vijayā; the 4th, 9th, and 14th lunar days are known as Riktā and the 5th, 10th and 15th lunar days are known as Pūrṇā.”
Verse 2 names the five groups without ranking them, but Chapter 98 verse 13 prohibits an act on Riktā tithis, so the avoidance of Riktā is Varāhamihira’s own and not purely later doctrine. An earlier revision of this record claimed otherwise and was corrected when the further chapter was transcribed.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way. The grouping is transcribed from the source; the avoidance ranking attached to it is later practice and is flagged as such in the recorded disagreement.
The tradition places the four fixed karaṇas — Śakuni, Catuṣpada, Nāga and Kiṃstughna — beginning from the second half of the fourteenth day of the waning moon.
Chart conditions
panchanga.karana — The position of the four fixed karaṇas within the lunar month.
Source passages
“The four Dhruva (fixed) Karaṇas are—Śakuni, Catuṣpada, Nāga and Kiṃstughna and they begin from the second half of the 14th day of the waning moon.”
Boundary: This is a structural claim about the calendar rather than a judgement about a moment, and it is one of the few places where a classical text can be checked directly against the computation: `test/panchanga.test.ts` asserts that the implemented karaṇa sequence puts Śakuni at exactly this point. Agreement confirms the arithmetic matches the tradition; it says nothing about whether the tradition predicts anything.
Unvalidated traditionRestates sourceavocation from house placementnatal
The text maps the planet occupying the tenth house from the ascendant or Moon to an asserted source of wealth: Sun to father, Moon to mother, Mars to enemy, Mercury to friend, Jupiter to brother, Venus to wife, and Saturn to servant.
Chart conditions
vedicChart.wholeSignHouses.10.occupants — At least one classical planet occupies the tenth whole-sign house from the ascendant or from the Moon.
Source passages
“A person gets wealth from his father, mother, enemy, friend, brother, wife or servant according as the planet which occupies the 10th house from the Lagna or from the Moon is the Sun, or the Moon, or Mars or Mercury, or Jupiter or Venus or Saturn respectively.”
Chapter X, stanza 1, printed page 110 (scan image 152) — On Avocation · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. The comma after “enemy” is faint in the scan. The source makes a financial and relational prediction; the corpus records it as historical doctrine and does not authorize financial use.
Disagreements
The verse gives a compact one-to-one list and does not state how to resolve several occupants or disagreement between the tenth house from the ascendant and the tenth from the Moon; the translator’s note says several occupants indicate several sources.
Boundary: Recorded as historical doctrine, not as a reliable account of income, relationships, or work. It must not inform financial, employment, or relationship decisions, and the report compiler withholds it independently of practitioner review.
Unvalidated traditionRestates sourceavocation from house rulernatal
When no planet occupies the relevant tenth house, the text directs the reader to infer avocation from the planet ruling the Navāṃśa occupied by the lord of the tenth house, considered from the ascendant, Moon, and Sun.
Chart conditions
vedicChart.tenthHouseLord.navamsaLord — No planet occupies the tenth house; derive the Navāṃśa lord occupied by each tenth-house lord counted from the ascendant, Moon, and Sun.
Source passages
“If there be no such planet, the avocation of a person will be that stated for the planets which might be the lords of the Navamsas occupied by the lords of the 10th houses from Lagna, the Moon and the Sun.”
Chapter X, stanza 1, printed page 110 (scan image 152) — On Avocation · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. Parenthetical note markers in the printed line are omitted from the bounded excerpt.
Disagreements
This formalization treats “no such planet” as a prerequisite. A practitioner must review whether the fallback is evaluated separately for each of the three reference points or only when all three relevant houses are empty.
Boundary: Recorded as historical doctrine, not as a reliable description of occupation or earning capacity. The unresolved fallback semantics are preserved, and the report compiler withholds this technique independently of practitioner review.
The text attributes fondness for ornaments, fine appearance, popularity, skill in work, and intelligence to a birth with the Moon in the asterism it calls Aswini.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — At birth, the Moon occupies Aśvinī.
Source passages
“A person born when the Moon passes through the asterism of Aswini will be fond of ornaments, will be of fine appearance, will be popular, skilled in work and intelligent.”
Chapter XVI, stanza 1, printed page 157 (scan image 199) — On the Nakshatras · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. The source spells the asterism “Aswini”; the rule maps it to the calculator’s canonical “Aśvinī” while preserving the edition wording here.
Disagreements
This is a whole-nakshatra statement. Later practice may qualify it by pāda, lordship, aspects, conjunctions, and daśā, none of which appears in the cited stanza.
Boundary: Preserved as historical doctrine only. There is no evidence that a lunar mansion determines appearance, popularity, intelligence, capability, or behaviour; this technique is prohibited from generated reports even after source and rule review.
The text names the configuration in which all planets occupy fixed signs Musala yoga and places it in the Āśraya group of Nabhasa yogas.
Chart conditions
vedicChart.classicalPlanets.signModalities — All seven classical planets occupy fixed signs under the selected interpretation of the source note.
Source passages
“According to Satyachariyar if all the planets occupy the movable, fixed or common signs, the yogas are respectively known as Rajju, Musala, and Nala and these three form the group of Asraya yogas.”
Chapter XII, stanza 2, printed page 122 (scan image 164) — On Nabhasa Yogas · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. Diacritics are absent in the 1885 edition; the rule retains its spellings rather than silently modernizing them.
“One or two or three or all the four of the signs. According to some the planets ought to occupy all the four signs. This is opposed to Garga.”
Chapter XII, stanza 2, note (a), printed page 122 (scan image 164) — On Nabhasa Yogas · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: The note preserves a material disagreement about whether every sign of the relevant modality must be occupied; the rule therefore does not collapse this condition to one reading.
Disagreements
The translator’s note records a live source disagreement: one reading permits occupation of one, two, three, or all four fixed signs, while another requires all four fixed signs to be occupied; Garga is cited against the latter. This rule requires all planets to be in the fixed modality but does not require all four fixed signs.
Boundary: This rule only detects and names a configuration. It does not assign an outcome. The seven-planet scope, treatment of the lunar nodes, and disputed all-four-sign requirement require practitioner review before publication.
For the encoded branch of stanza 10, the text calls a daśā prosperous when its lord occupies the third, sixth, tenth, or eleventh house from the ascendant cast for the commencement of that period.
Chart conditions
vedicTiming.activeDashaLord.houseFromDashaLagna — At the start of the daśā, its lord occupies the third, sixth, tenth, or eleventh house from the daśā commencement ascendant.
Source passages
“if the lord of the dasa period occupy the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th house from the Lagna, such dasa period will be a prosperous one”
Chapter VIII, stanza 10, printed page 82 (scan image 124) — On Dasas and Antardasas · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. This is one alternative in a longer compound stanza; the rule encodes only this independently testable branch and does not imply that it is the whole stanza.
Disagreements
The translator’s note says “Lagna” here means the ascendant at the daśā commencement, not necessarily the natal ascendant. The note also says the rule may apply to an antardaśā. Both convention choices remain unresolved pending review.
Boundary: The daśā timetable and commencement chart can be computed reproducibly, but “prosperous” is an unvalidated historical judgement. It is not a financial forecast or assurance and must not guide financial or other high-stakes decisions.
The text directs that work not be commenced while the Moon transits a sign containing no figure in the Moon’s Aṣṭakavarga.
Chart conditions
vedicTiming.moonTransit.bhinnaAshtakavargaBindus — The transiting Moon occupies a sign carrying zero bindus in the Moon’s Bhinna Aṣṭakavarga.
Source passages
“No work shall be commenced when the Moon passes through signs in which there are no figures in the A. V. of the Moon.”
Chapter IX, A.V. of the Moon, printed page 101 (scan image 143) — On Ashtakavargas · The Bṛhat Jātaka of Varāha Mihira, tr. N. Chidambaram Iyer, 1885
Transcription note: Checked against the page image. “A. V.” abbreviates Ashtakavarga in this edition. Evaluating the condition requires a separately specified Ashtakavarga implementation.
Disagreements
The cited edition abbreviates the method as A.V. and assumes the chapter’s preceding reduction procedure. The exact Aṣṭakavarga calculation and whether later correction methods apply must be fixed as a reviewed calculation convention before this condition is executable.
Boundary: Recorded as historical transit doctrine, not evidence that such a transit changes outcomes. The condition remains non-executable until an independently tested Aṣṭakavarga implementation and practitioner-reviewed convention profile exist.
Unvalidated traditionRestates sourcemundane foundation timingmundane
For undertakings intended to endure, the source includes building towns and acts of public utility among works to begin while the Moon passes through a stable nakshatra.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The mundane foundation moment has the Moon in a stable (Dhruva) nakshatra.
Source passages
“Of these 28 constellations (nakṣatra), those of Uttaraphālguni, Uttarāṣāḍha and Uttarabhādrapada together with the constellation of Rohiṇī are known as (Dhruva) stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The edition transliterates the nakshatra names differently from the forms used in `lib/panchanga.ts`; the rule maps them to the canonical forms and the mapping is stated in its boundary.
“Coronation of kings, expiatory ceremonies, planting of trees, the building of towns, acts of public utility, the sowing of seeds and acts of permanent effects shall he commenced when the Moon passes through the stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The cited edition reads “shall he commenced”, evidently a compositor’s error for “shall be commenced”. Transcribed as printed rather than silently corrected.
Disagreements
The source describes selecting a commencement moment, not interpreting every mundane chart retrospectively. The rule is therefore limited to a declared foundation event.
Boundary: The pañcāṅga input is computed and reproducible, but the rule built on it is documented tradition with no empirical support. A moment being Viṣṭi or Riktā is a fact about the Sun and Moon; that such a moment is unfavourable for an undertaking is not, and no outcome should be expected either way. The words “building of towns” and “acts of public utility” are historical categories and are not generalized to every public or institutional event.
Unvalidated traditionMaha inferencecorporate foundation timingcorporate
Maha’s synthesis treats legal incorporation as a modern foundation event and tests whether the source’s stable-nakshatra category for permanent works can be operationalized for corporate charts.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The legal incorporation moment has the Moon in a stable (Dhruva) nakshatra.
Source passages
“Of these 28 constellations (nakṣatra), those of Uttaraphālguni, Uttarāṣāḍha and Uttarabhādrapada together with the constellation of Rohiṇī are known as (Dhruva) stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The edition transliterates the nakshatra names differently from the forms used in `lib/panchanga.ts`; the rule maps them to the canonical forms and the mapping is stated in its boundary.
“Coronation of kings, expiatory ceremonies, planting of trees, the building of towns, acts of public utility, the sowing of seeds and acts of permanent effects shall he commenced when the Moon passes through the stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The cited edition reads “shall he commenced”, evidently a compositor’s error for “shall be commenced”. Transcribed as printed rather than silently corrected.
Disagreements
Varāhamihira does not mention corporations or legal incorporation. This is a contemporary testable extension from building towns, public works, and acts intended to have permanent effects; a reviewer must judge the analogy separately from transcription fidelity.
Boundary: This is explicitly Maha’s synthesis, not classical doctrine. It must be preregistered and tested against corporate outcomes before any predictive claim; it cannot guide legal, investment, or financial decisions and carries no assurance about a company’s future.

The source associates stable nakshatras with undertakings intended to endure, including planting, building, sowing, and public works.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The Moon occupies a stable (Dhruva) nakshatra.
Source passages
“Of these 28 constellations (nakṣatra), those of Uttaraphālguni, Uttarāṣāḍha and Uttarabhādrapada together with the constellation of Rohiṇī are known as (Dhruva) stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The edition transliterates the nakshatra names differently from the forms used in `lib/panchanga.ts`; the rule maps them to the canonical forms and the mapping is stated in its boundary.
“Coronation of kings, expiatory ceremonies, planting of trees, the building of towns, acts of public utility, the sowing of seeds and acts of permanent effects shall he commenced when the Moon passes through the stable asterisms.”
Transcription note: The cited edition reads “shall he commenced”, evidently a compositor’s error for “shall be commenced”. Transcribed as printed rather than silently corrected.
Boundary: This is a source classification layered on a reproducibly calculated pañcāṅga value. It records Varāhamihira’s convention, not evidence that the classification changes outcomes. Publication remains gated on source-fidelity and rule-formalization review.
Transcription note: The full stop after “Hasta” is a comma in the printed text; retained here as the edition transcribes it.
“Sales, acts of sexual love, acquisition of knowledge, wearing of ornaments, arts, sculpture, medicine purchase of carriage and the like shall be commenced when the Moon passes through the light asterisms.”

For the directly computable branch of verses 12–13, the source permits shaving while the Moon passes through any of the twelve listed nakshatras.
Chart conditions
panchanga.nakshatra — The Moon occupies one of the nakshatras listed for shaving.

Transcription note: The excerpt ends before the verse’s alternative natal-count condition. The encoded rule represents only the directly computable Moon-transit branch.
Disagreements
The full verse also permits an asterism rising, its muhūrta, and certain counts from the natal Moon. Those alternative branches are not encoded here.
