Does a serpent's curse block your children? What the verse actually says
Phaladipika 12.22 asks for two things at once — Rahu in the 5th AND the 5th lord with it. Measured on 10,000 charts: about 0.7% qualify. Read loosely, about 39% do.
Doṣa, checkedIs Kāla-sarpa doṣa in the classical texts? We searched every one
Kala-sarpa appears in none of the 27 works in our library. But BPHS does have a Sarpa yoga - malefics in three kendras - which is something else entirely.
Transit, checkedSāḍe-sātī: the half of the rule nobody quotes
Saturn's transit rule is genuinely classical - Phaladipika gives 3, 6, 11 as its auspicious houses. The next line gives vedha, the obstruction that cancels it.
Remedy, checkedGemstones: which part of the advice is actually classical
The graha-to-stone table is classical - Jataka Parijata and Phaladipika agree on all nine. The reason to wear one is stated too. Which stone YOU need is where the texts stop.
The corpusHow many verses are in the Bṛhat-Pārāśara-Horā-Śāstra? A counted answer
98 adhyayas, 3,971 shlokas, 3,741 entries - counted, published per chapter, and named to its edition. Why verses and entries differ, and the one chapter with a hole.
Calculation, checkedWhy two apps give you a different Moon sign
The ayanamsa systems disagree by 2.33 degrees. Measured on 10,000 births: different Moon rashi 4.6% of the time, different nakshatra pada 42.6%, and dasha dates move by months.
Calculation, checkedWhy two pañcāṅgas disagree about today's tithi
On 21 days of 2026, two Indian cities are on different tithis at the same moment - and both are right. It is not ayanamsa, which cancels out exactly. It is where you stand.
Calculation, checkedWhy your Abhijit muhūrat is not the one in the almanac
Abhijit is midday, and midday is local. Measured across six Indian cities: 63 minutes of spread, and Kolkata's window closes before Mumbai's opens.
Reading, checkedGulika is not simply malefic — the text gives it four good houses
BPHS gives Gulika a favourable result in the 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th — the upacaya houses. Measured on 10,000 births: about a third of people have it there.
