Today’s Astronomical Transits
The Navagrahas Now
Sidereal positions (Lahiri / Citrapakṣa), updated every minute. Each card names the Kūrma part its nakṣatra belongs to — select one to read that part on the maps.
Geocentric Transit Map Bhū-kendra
Earth at the centre, as gochara is read. Each graha sits on its true sidereal longitude; the nakṣatra ring is tinted by today’s Kūrma reading, so the wheel and the maps below read together.
Kūrma Chakra कूर्मचक्र
Varāhamihira (Bṛhat Saṃhitā, ch. 14) lays Bhāratavarṣa on the back of a tortoise facing east and divides it into nine parts — Madhyadeśa and the eight directions — giving each three nakṣatras, from Kṛttikā at the centre round to Bharaṇī in the north-east. When malefic grahas occupy a part’s nakṣatras its regions and rulers are troubled; benefics there bring well-being. Below, today’s grahas are placed on the chakra and the nine parts are drawn over India and the world.

Impact on the World Bhūmaṇḍala
The eight directions of the chakra carried out from Bhāratavarṣa along the shortest route over the globe, so every country falls in one part. Parts are ordered from the most afflicted to the most favoured; countries in bold lie mainly in that direction.
Today’s Reading by Part
Malefics (Śani, Maṅgala, Rāhu, Ketu, and Sūrya more mildly) afflict; Guru, Śukra and Budha favour; Candra favours while waxing. A retrograde Śani or Maṅgala weighs more, a combust benefic less, and a grahaṇa in a part’s nakṣatra within a fortnight counts heavily.
| Part | Nakṣatras | Grahas | Today | Indications | India — states | World — countries |

These are the classical indications of the Kūrma Chakra, shown for study — not forecasts for any country or person. Directions are drawn as true compass sectors from the centre of Madhyadeśa (near Mathurā); Varāhamihira’s own lists are looser, so a region near a border can fall in the neighbouring sector on the map while keeping its classical part. India’s outline follows the Survey of India; other borders are from Natural Earth.
Conclusive Analysis Niṣkarṣa
What the major transits — Śani, Guru, Rāhu–Ketu and Maṅgala — are doing on the Kūrma Chakra today, read for India and for the world, with the shifts and the eclipse that come next.
Drawn automatically from today’s positions by the rules above; it refreshes as the grahas move. A classical mundane reading for study and reflection — not a forecast of events for any nation, state or person.
