About this site
Purpose
astro.sandeepkafle.com.np is a free, open-source Vedic astrology tool — bilingual (Nepali + English). The aim is to provide accurate computation alongside education-first explanations, so any curious person can both understand their kundali and gradually learn Jyotish.
Computation method
- Drik Siddhanta: Sub-arcsecond modern astronomical positions via Swiss Ephemeris (DE431-backed). Sidereal conversion using the Lahiri ayanamsa (the Indian/Nepali government standard).
- Surya Siddhanta: Implemented straight from the original text — revolutions per Mahayuga, ahargana, and the manda + sighra epicycle equations.
- Bikram Sambat: Verified Nepali panchanga calendar data (covers BS 2000–2099 ≈ AD 1943–2042).
- Place search: OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Timezone: timezonefinder + IANA zoneinfo (DST-सहित)।
Limitations
- A 4-minute error in birth time can shift the Lagna by 1° — be as precise as possible.
- BS conversion unavailable before 1943 AD or after 2042 AD.
- Currently D1 (birth chart) only — D9 navamsha, antardasha sub-periods, and yoga detection are on the roadmap.
- Astrological readings describe classical tendencies — they are not predictions.
