Jyotisha calculation guide
ग्रह दृष्टि
A directed whole-sign relationship cast by a graha to specific rashis or houses.
Calculate full Parashari Graha Drishti by inclusive whole-sign count, including the universal 7th and special aspects of Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Graha Drishti is directional: Mars aspecting Saturn does not automatically mean Saturn aspects Mars.
All seven classical grahas cast a full 7th aspect; Mars also casts the 4th and 8th, Jupiter the 5th and 9th, and Saturn the 3rd and 10th.
Samvat does not make Rahu or Ketu cast Graha Drishti in this declared convention, though the nodes can receive an aspect.
Count the graha rashi as 1, the next rashi as 2, and continue around the zodiac. The opposite rashi is therefore the 7th. This inclusive count is the evidence behind the aspect number shown in a Kundli.
The calculation uses sidereal rashi positions, not a degree orb. Two grahas anywhere in the relevant source and target rashis satisfy the full whole-sign aspect rule implemented here.
The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Venus cast the full 7th aspect. Mars casts the 4th, 7th, and 8th; Jupiter casts the 5th, 7th, and 9th; Saturn casts the 3rd, 7th, and 10th.
A special aspect is not a second calculation system. It is an additional full house count assigned to Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn under the same directed Graha Drishti rule.
Graha Drishti is separate from same-rashi conjunction, Jaimini Rashi Drishti, fractional Drik Bala, combustion, planetary war, and outcome interpretation.
Keeping these systems separate makes the result auditable: each displayed relationship answers which graha casts, which graha or house receives, and which full aspect number matched.
The aspect number is an inclusive rashi distance from the casting graha to the target.
aspect number = ((target rashi - source rashi + 12) mod 12) + 1Samvat retains the source and target longitudes, rashi numbers, aspect number, and rule ID with every derived Drishti fact.
The encoded rules are tied to these cited passages.
Use these as working patterns when reading Panchang details or planning around Hindu dates.
The chart details table says Jupiter casts a 9th Drishti to Mercury.
The table statement can be reconstructed from visible chart positions and one declared rule.
Two grahas occupy the same rashi.
The chart keeps two different structural relationships from being merged into one label.
A useful calculation does not stop at saying that an aspect exists. It preserves the two positions, direction, count, and traditional rule that produced the statement.
Samvat reports that structure without turning it into a personal prediction.
Graha Drishti is a directed planetary aspect calculated from the rashi occupied by the casting graha to specified target rashis or houses.
Under the full Parashari convention used by Samvat, Mars casts the 4th, 7th, and 8th aspects by inclusive whole-sign count.
No. Samvat declares a convention in which Rahu and Ketu can receive Graha Drishti but do not cast it. Other traditions may use a different node convention.
No. Samvat records grahas in the same sidereal rashi as a shared-rashi relationship and calculates Graha Drishti separately.
