Frequently Asked Questions
Which system are these positions in?▼
These are sidereal (nirayana) positions using the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the Government of India standard used by most Vedic astrology. Rahu and Ketu use the mean lunar node.
What does retrograde (Vakri) mean?▼
Retrograde means the planet appears to move backward as seen from Earth. Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde; the Sun and Moon are never retrograde.
For what time and place are these?▼
These are computed for 17 June 2026 in Indian Standard Time (New Delhi). The Moon moves fast, so its position changes through the day.
