राशि the twelve signs

Twelve rāshi, nine grahas.

The Sun sign is where most people start. In a sitting we read from the Moon sign and the lagna as well. The dates below are sidereal, as Vedic astrology counts them.

Tonight the Moon is in — nakshatra, in —.

नवग्रह the nine grahas

Tonight’s sky, from above.

The nine grahas where they stand tonight, drawn in the geocentric model: the Earth at the centre and, ring by ring, the Moon, Rāhu, Ketu, the Sun, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Shani, each at its sidereal place. Rāhu and Ketu, the Moon’s two nodes, always stand opposite each other. Around the outside is the belt of the twelve rāshi. Choose a graha and a line is drawn from Ludhiana out to the belt, to the sign it is in tonight. The trail behind each shows which way it is moving; a planet moving backward is vakrī.

Your rāshi is one part of your chart. The rest is in your kundalī.
