Sidereal zodiac and ayanamsha
Vedic calculation subtracts an ayanamsha from tropical longitude to produce sidereal positions. The selected ayanamsha should be identified because different standards can shift the exact degree.
Lagna, houses and nakshatras
The Lagna is the sidereal Ascendant. The Moon's nakshatra is also important for many interpretive and timing methods.
Vimshottari Dasha timing
Dasha periods are calculated from the Moon's nakshatra position and organize a sequence of planetary periods. Exact start and end dates should be shown separately from interpretation.
