Turīya·Sūtrathe thread to the fourth

The sky above you now, and what it moves within. Every graha is a thread into the body: click one to pull it.

What you are looking at

The half circle is the part of the sky that is above your horizon right now, at your place: the twenty-seven nakshatras on the outside, the twelve rashis inside them, and the grahas where they stand today, computed in your browser. East is on the left, as on an Indian chart. The grahas below the earth are listed under the horizon; open the full sky to see all nine, with you at the centre.

The thread into the body

Each graha is joined to the body through its element: BPHS chapter 3 gives every graha an element, and the tantric sources give every element its centre in the body. Each of those two links is classical; drawing them as one thread is this map's own step, and it says so. The panel shows the graha's own page: what it connects to in each system, and where each of those leads.

The nine

Surya · Chandra · Mangala · Budha · Guru · Shukra · Shani · Rahu · Ketu

Born in one place and living in another? Your chart uses the place you were born; today's sky uses where you are now. The map draws all eight systems at once.
