Reading the chart
Rising sign
AquariusKumbha Lagna
The sign coming up over the eastern horizon at that moment. Everything else in the chart is counted from it.
Moon
Aquarius, in Purva Bhadrapada
The Moon's star (nakshatra) sets the order of the planetary periods. Purva Bhadrapada starts the chart in Jupiter's period.
Reading a life
Each part of life is read from a house of the chart. This is what each house holds in Michael Jackson's chart, and how many recorded events fall in that area. The bar on each area shows its share of the events. Tap an area to see its events.
Vimshottari and Chara dasha · by age
Events in order, grouped by the planetary period they fell in, with the age at each one. Jaimini’s Chara dasha gives each period to a sign instead; switch between the two above the bar. Under each event are the slow planets on that date, with the house they fell in. The Moon is in the Lagna sign in this chart, so the house counted from the Lagna and from the Moon is the same, and it is given once.
The birth time is unverified: every Vimshottari period date below moves by 7 to 9 months for each hour it is off.
