Calendar settings and timing

Sidereal zodiac · True Chitrapaksha ayanamsa · True lunar nodes · Apparent positions.

These events describe planetary positions as seen from the centre of Earth. Changing the timezone changes the displayed date and time. Daylight saving time is included where applicable.

Sign changes use the selected zodiac. Retrograde and direct stations mark a change in the direction of longitude; their exact times can differ between the sidereal and tropical conventions.

The lunar-node choice applies to both nodes and all their events. Mean nodes always move backward. True nodes briefly move forward at times; every direction change is included, even when the forward interval is short. Both nodes change direction together.

New and full moons remain visible when Moon transits are hidden. Selecting Moon in the planet filter shows its sign and nakshatra changes too. Times are shown to the minute.
