Rashi (D1)
Positions
Sarvatobhadra chakra
A classical 9×9 chakra for timing. It holds the 28 nakshatras (with Abhijit), the vowels and consonants of names, the 12 rashis and the five tithi groups. Each moving planet "pierces" (vedha) cells along straight and diagonal lines. Benefic piercing of your birth star, rashi, name letters, tithi or weekday supports the day; malefic piercing asks for care.
Ask about your chart
The AI only explains facts the app calculated for your chart and the classical rules that apply to it. Every statement is numbered and linked to its source below the answer, so you can check it. It will not predict health, death, pregnancy, court cases or money returns.
Compatibility and names
Check how well something suits a person, using Hindu numerology (Chaldean letter values, birth number and destiny number) and, when the birth time and place are known, the birth chart. You get a score with the reasons behind it, so you can make your own decision.
Kundli matching (Ashtakoota, 36 points)
Enter both birth details. Matching compares the Moon of each person across eight factors, and also checks Mangal dosha on both sides.
Ask a question (Prashna)
Prashna is horary astrology: the chart is cast for the moment you ask, not your birth. Ask one sincere question. Health, death and pregnancy questions are not offered. For legal and government questions the chart shows timing and mood only, never the decision: follow your lawyer's or the official guidance.
Ask Acharya Gopal Ji (optional)
Nakshatra Pro is built so that every household can read and learn its own chart. Everything in this app is meant to be used on your own: your chart, life areas, periods, compatibility, Prashna and the learning academy.
Before asking anyone, try these: · · ·
If you have studied your chart and would still like a person to look at it with you, you can ask Acharya Gopal Datt Sharma ji, a Jyotish practitioner based in Bellevue, Washington. This is a paid, optional service. You are equally welcome to consult any astrologer you trust, and nothing in the app changes whether you book or not.
About Acharya ji

Project plan: what this app is and where it is going
A research-grade Vedic astrology app: exact chart maths, a reviewed library of classical rules with sources, plain-language readings that show the pluses and minuses, and a responsible remedies and tantra section. Below is the full plan in simple words, with what is already built in this version.
1. Chart maths (the engine)
Everything starts with exact astronomy. The app uses NASA JPL's DE440 planetary data directly, then applies the classical Jyotish rules.
| Part | What it means for a normal user | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Planet positions, lagna, 6 ayanamsas | Where every planet was at birth, to the arc-second | Built |
| Nakshatra, pada, dignity, combustion, retrograde | The birth star and how comfortable each planet is | Built |
| All 16 divisional charts (D1 to D60) | Zoom-in charts for marriage (D9), career (D10), children (D7) and more | Built |
| Vimshottari and Yogini dashas | Which planet's "chapter" of life you are in, and when it changes | Built |
| Ashtakavarga, Vimshopaka strength, functional benefics | Scores that show which houses and planets are strong for you | Built |
| Named yogas and doshas with sources | Special combinations (pluses) and challenges (minuses), each with its book reference | Built |
| Panchang, transits, Sade Sati, annual chart (Varshaphal) | What the sky is doing now and what this year focuses on | Built |
| Jaimini (karakas, Arudha) and KP (cusps, sub lords) | Two other respected systems for deeper study | Built |
| Summary & plan: short-term and long-term outlook, one remedy plan (Vedic, Lal Kitab, tantric) | The whole chart and what to do, on one page | Built |
| Personal daily, weekly and monthly predictions with remedies; calendar export | Something new every day for members | Built |
| Daily forecast by email and phone notification (WhatsApp later) | Forecasts arrive automatically every morning, free during beta | Built (switch on: Railway database + email key) |
| Kundli matching (36 gunas + Mangal dosha) | Marriage compatibility | Built |
| Full Shadbala with Ishta and Kashta phala | A precise strength score for every planet against the classical minimum | Built |
| Chara and Narayana dashas (Jaimini) | Sign-based timing used by Jaimini astrologers | Built |
| Prashna (horary) with KP number table (1-249) | Answer a question from the chart of the moment | Built |
| Lal Kitab chart, pakka ghar and folk remedies | The popular North Indian system with simple remedies | Built |
| 309 rules: 67 named yogas/doshas, 32 Nabhasa, 66 exchanges, 144 house-owner rules | Every rule with plain meaning and source | Built |
| Bhava bala (strength of each house) | Which life areas are strongest, by the classical measure | Built |
| Kalachakra dasha with deha, jeeva and gati jumps | The "wheel of time" timing system | Built |
| Lal Kitab readings for all 108 planet-in-house placements | A reading and remedy for every placement | Built |
| KP significators and promises for 8 life matters | KP's yes/no style judgement | Built |
| KP horary judgement from a number 1-249 | Yes / no style answer with timing planets | Built |
| Lal Kitab 35-year cycle and birth-hour cycle; slot for the 120-year varshphal table | Which planet rules this year of life, with its remedy | Built (table to be entered from the book) |
| Mantra audio (Listen) with Devanagari text | Hear and read every mantra | Built (Indian Hindi voice recordings; a priest's studio recording can replace them) |
| Hindi language switch | Every tab, page, rule and remedy in Hindi | Built |
| 500-chart comparison against two reference programs | Proof of accuracy before launch | Passed (NASA JPL and PyEphem; see accuracy/Accuracy report.html) |
- Same accuracy as the best desktop software
- Runs on our server, so every device shows identical results
- Planet data covers births from 1850 to 2149
- Some rules differ between traditions, so we show variants rather than pick one silently
2. Remedies and tantric layer
Each planet is linked to its mantra, deity, Mahavidya, yantra, charity, fasting day and gemstone. The app suggests remedies only for the planets that need help, explains why, and shows the pros and cons of each type.
| Part | Status |
|---|---|
| Navagraha mantras, deities, charity, fasting, colours, grains | Built |
| Navagraha yantras (number squares) drawn for each planet | Built |
| Das Mahavidya mapping with variant note | Built |
| Chart-based remedy suggestions (strengthen or pacify; gems only for good planets) | Built |
| Study notes: Swara Shastra, Narapati Swarodaya, Sarvatobhadra, Kalachakra | Built (summaries) |
| Sarvatobhadra chakra calculator | Built |
| Priest studio recordings for mantra audio | Ready (recording kit in the recording-kit folder; waiting for the priest) |
- Free remedies (mantra, charity) always listed first
- Builds trust: no fear selling
- Less short-term revenue than apps that push expensive pujas and gems
- Mappings vary by lineage, so content needs expert review
3. Features and tiers
| Feature | Free | Pro | Practitioner | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chart, D1/D9, panchang, simple reading | Yes | Yes | Yes | Built |
| All vargas, strength, all yogas, Jaimini, KP, annual chart | No | Yes | Yes | Built (Pro lock switches on with the Stripe key) |
| Remedies and tantra library | Intro | Full | Full | Built |
| Printable report | No | Yes | Branded | Built (browser PDF) |

4. Technology
| Layer | Choice | Why (plus) | Trade-off (minus) | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calculation engine | Python + NASA JPL DE440 | Most accurate, fast (thousands of charts a second) | No licence fee (public-domain NASA data) | Built |
| Rule engine | Python rules, each with source | Astrologers can review every rule | Slow to grow to 300+ rules | Built |
| Readings | Rule-based plain English | Predictable, never invents facts | Less conversational than AI | Built |
| AI explainer | Claude API, grounded in chart data | Answers any question in plain words | Running cost per question; needs checks | Paused (code kept, switched off) |
| Web app | This app (later Next.js) | Works on any device today | Not yet in app stores | Built |
| Mobile apps | Installable web app now; Google Play later (same code) | App icon and notifications on iPhone and Android, no store fees | Apple is not accepting new astrology apps; Google Play needs a US$25 account | Install button built |
| Hosting and database | Railway (same as FokusPro) + PostgreSQL | You already know the workflow | Monthly cost grows with users | Needs your Railway |
| Payments | Stripe (global) + Razorpay (India) | Subscriptions in CAD, USD and INR | Fees about 3% | Needs accounts |
5. Business model
| Income | Price idea | Plus | Minus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pro subscription | CAD 9.99/month or 79/year | Steady, recurring income | Must keep adding value to stop cancellations |
| Practitioner subscription | CAD 29/month or 249/year | Professionals pay more and stay longer | Smaller audience; expects branded reports |
| One-off reports | CAD 15 to 49 | Easy first purchase | One-time only |
| Courses with certificates | CAD 99 to 399 | Uses your LMS experience | Needs a qualified teacher and content |
| Ask Acharya ji (optional personal readings) | US$39 per written answer; US$75 for 30 minutes, US$125 for 60 minutes | A trusted human expert for those who want one, with no marketplace to run | Limited to one astrologer’s time; must stay optional so the app stays self-service |
| Certified puja items and yantras | Product margin | Extra income | Risk of looking like fear-selling; keep separate from readings |
