Sidereal zodiac and planetary periods

Vedic astrology – Jyotish

Work with the sidereal framework, nakshatras and the Vimshottari Dasha system. Jyotish remains a separate layer, while still being available for comparison with other profile modules.

Module scope

Not just a result. Context matters too.

Mega Astro organises data within one profile, so you can return to previous analyses and compare them with other layers.

Sidereal

Sidereal framework

The positions and houses are calculated in the logic of the Jyotish module.

Moon

Nakshatras

Lunar mansions, their rulers and an additional layer of interpretation.

Time

Vimshottari Dasha

Major periods and sub-periods regulating the rhythm of life in this system.

Workflow

From data to a structured reading.

01

Create a profile

An exact birth time and place are important for the chart and its axes.

02

Open the Jyotish module

The app calculates the sidereal layer independently of Western astrology.

03

Check the nakshatra and the dasha

Read the structure of the periods from the main to the sub-periods.

04

Compare, not mix

Compare conclusions with other systems while keeping the methods distinct.

Responsible interpretation

Tropical and sidereal are not two calculator errors.

They use different reference frames, so differing positions should not be forced into agreement.

  • Check the active ayanamsh and the module settings.
  • Don't automatically transfer meaning between traditions.
  • Dasha is an interpretative structure, not a clock of guaranteed events.

Mega Astro presents Jyotish as a separate system. A combined report may identify similar themes, but it should not pretend that every tradition speaks the same language.

Combine with other modules

One layer does not have to pretend to be the whole truth.

Mega Astro is most valuable when different systems can complement one another while disagreements remain visible instead of being forcibly smoothed over.

Questions

What should you know about the Vedic astrology – Jyotish module?

Why can signs be different from Western astrology?

Jyotish uses the sidereal zodiac, so positions may differ from those in a tropical chart.

What is a dasha?

It is a system of planetary periods used in Jyotish to organise major phases and subphases of life.

Is a Jyotish result more important than a Western astrology result?

There is no objective scientific hierarchy between these systems. In practice, methodology, consistency and clearly defined limits of interpretation matter.
