Work and purpose
The Hindu or Jyotisha horoscope uses a sidereal zodiac. Enter your date to calculate the Sun’s approximate position and receive a complete reading.
What does the app calculate?
We estimate the Sun’s apparent longitude and convert it to the sidereal zodiac with an approximation of Lahiri ayanamsha. The result shows the rashi and approximate solar degree.
Solar ingresses vary slightly from year to year. This makes the calculation more useful than a fixed date table, although it does not replace a complete Jyotisha chart.

Why might it differ from your Western sign?
The common Western zodiac is tropical and begins at the equinox; the sidereal zodiac keeps a fixed reference to the sky. The accumulated separation gives many people the preceding sign.

How to read your result
Read essence, resource and shadow together: the solar rashi is a symbolic key, not a complete description of a birth chart.
