Corrections

22 October 2026

A full check of every 2026 date in our articles against the Swiss Ephemeris (sidereal, Lahiri, times in IST), and a review of claims that went further than the classical texts.

• Sade Sati 2026

  Before: Shani retrograde from 29 June to 15 November 2026, and no change of sign until Shani enters Mesh in 2028.

  Now: Retrograde from 27 July to 11 December 2026. Shani first enters Mesh on 3 June 2027, returns to Meen on 20 October 2027 and settles in Mesh on 23 February 2028; the page shows who that moves into and out of Sade Sati.

• Guru Gochar 2026

  Before: Guru retrograde until early April, into Simha on 1 November, retrograde again at the end of December.

  Now: Direct on 11 March, into Simha on 31 October, retrograde on 13 December 2026, back into Karkat on 25 January 2027.

• Guru in Karka 2026

  Before: Three transit houses labelled "Guru Chandal", and verdicts that did not match the gochara rule used on the rest of the site.

  Now: Guru Chandal is explained as Guru joined with Rahu only; every house follows the classical gochara rule; combustion ends on 13 August, not 12 August.

• Budh Vakri 2026

  Before: Retrograde windows starting on 27 February, 30 June and 25 October, and ending on 14 November.

  Now: Starting on 26 February, 29 June and 24 October and ending on 13 November, with exact IST times and a table for every rashi.

• Mangal Gochar 2026

  Before: Seven sign-change dates a day late; Mangal in Vrishabh called an enemy sign and in Mithun a neutral one; a suggestion to time surgery by Mangal.

  Now: Dates corrected; Vrishabh is neutral and Mithun an enemy sign for Mangal; the surgery suggestion is removed, because medical timing belongs with a doctor.

• Indu Lagna

  Before: A remainder of 0 said to land on the Chandra’s own sign.

  Now: A remainder of 0 means 12, which lands on the sign before the Chandra’s, with a worked example.

• Mangal Dosh

  Before: Five dosha houses in the text and six in the chart caption, without saying why.

  Now: The five-house rule and the six-house rule (which adds the 2nd) are both named; the age-28 belief is marked as a regional tradition, not a classical rule.

• Pitru Paksha 2026

  Before: Pitru Paksha "always" falls with the Sun in Kanya.

  Now: It is fixed by the lunar calendar and usually, not always, falls in the Sun’s month in Kanya.

• Rahu Gochar in Makar Rashi

  Before: Rahu said to begin in the second half of Dhanishtha; eclipses said to fall exactly on the node axis.

  Now: Rahu begins in the half of Dhanishtha that lies in Makar; an eclipse needs the Sun and Moon near a node, not exactly on it.

• Rahu Ketu Gochar 2026

  Before: The nodes changing sign on 6 December 2026.

  Now: On 5 December 2026 at 10:32 pm IST.

• Grahan 2026

  Before: All four eclipses said to fall on the Kumbh and Simha axis.

  Now: Three do; the 12 August eclipse falls in Karkat, about 11 degrees before Ketu, which the page now explains.

• Rahu and Ketu explained

  Before: Eclipses said to happen only exactly at the nodes.

  Now: Within roughly 18 degrees of a node for a solar eclipse and 12 for a lunar one.

• Kaal Sarp Dosh

  Before: Claims that it is common in self-made people and fades with age.

  Now: Removed. The page now says the yoga does not appear in the foundational texts and that schools disagree on it.

• Career in Kundli

  Before: The chart shaded the 1st, 2nd, 6th and 10th houses while the text named the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 11th.

  Now: Chart and text agree on the 2nd, 6th, 10th and 11th.

• Navamsa (D9)

  Before: The only chart shown was a birth chart (D1).

  Now: A worked example turns that D1 into its D9 step by step, with the D9 chart.

• Conjunction pages

  Before: Some house verdicts read "it gives Venus is the natural karaka..."; the Sun and Mars text implied the Sun is exalted in any sign Mars owns.

  Now: The verdicts read as full sentences; the Sun and Mars text says the Sun’s exaltation sign, Mesh, belongs to Mars.
