How to Use the Darakaraka Calculator

The Darakaraka Calculator is designed to help you determine key astrological positions based on a planet’s longitude. Follow these steps to efficiently use the calculator and comprehend the results.

Step 1: Enter the Planet Longitude

  • Purpose: The longitude is a crucial input that allows the calculator to determine the planet’s position within the zodiac.
  • How to Enter: Locate the input field labeled “Planet Longitude (0-360°)”. Here, you need to input the exact longitude of the planet, ensuring it is a number between 0 and 360 degrees.
  • Input Details: The field will accept a decimal value with a precision of up to six decimal places (step size of 0.000001). Ensure your input is within the specified range for accurate calculations.

Step 2: Understanding the Result Fields

Once the longitude is entered, the calculator will generate several result fields. These values provide insights into the planet’s position and its astrological significance.

Result 1: Darakaraka Value

  • Calculation Logic: The formula used is longitude – floor(longitude / 30) * 30.
  • Interpretation: This gives you the actual degree of the planet within its current sign, tailored to six decimal places, followed by the degree symbol (°).

Result 2: Darakaraka Sign

  • Calculation Logic: The formula applied is floor(longitude / 30) + 1.
  • Interpretation: This numeric result indicates which zodiac sign the planet currently resides in, scaled to zero decimal places for clarity.

Result 3: Reverse Degree

  • Calculation Logic: Calculated as 30 – (longitude – floor(longitude / 30) * 30).
  • Interpretation: This provides the degrees remaining for the planet to exit its current sign, again detailed with six decimal places and a ° suffix.

Result 4: Final Darakaraka Position

  • Calculation Logic: The formula is (floor(longitude / 30) * 30) + (30 – (longitude – floor(longitude / 30) * 30)).
  • Interpretation: This consolidated value gives the overall astrological position in the zodiac, represented as a longitude, formatted to six decimals and appended with a degree symbol.
