  • Consider the Day’s Nakshatra: More advanced practitioners use the current nakshatra as a multiplier or anchor, creating a dynamic wheel that changes every ~60 minutes.

    • In some South Indian astrological traditions (particularly in Tamil Nadu and Kerala), there exists a Sahadeva Chakra (sometimes called Sahadeva Arooda Chakra). It is a tool used for:

    Step 1: Determine the Lagna (Ascendant) Lord’s position. Note the sign and degree.

    Step 2: Determine the 7th Lord’s position. (Marriage/Partnership house). sahadeva arooda chakra

    Step 3: The Arooda is NOT derived from Lagna alone. Instead, Sahadeva taught that:
