Where were the stars
when you arrived?

Give me the moment you were born and I'll rebuild the solar system as it actually stood — real orbits, real distances, seen from outside. Then travel forward through your life and watch it turn. Your details are remembered on this device only, and never sent anywhere.

Heliocentric view. The Sun sits at the centre, because that is the truth of it. A line runs from Earth through each planet and out to the zodiac — that line is why the planet appeared in the sign your chart records. Watch Earth overtake Mars and you are watching retrograde motion happen.

Can't find your town? Enter coordinates manually. Positions are computed from JPL orbital elements with the Lahiri ayanamsha — accurate to a few arcminutes, which is close enough to place every graha in its correct sign and nakshatra.

Heliocentric view

The Sun at the centre, planets on their real elliptical orbits, each tilted by its true inclination. This is the arrangement that actually existed at your birth minute.

The faint ray from Earth through each planet, out to the zodiac ring, is why that planet appears in the sign your chart records. Play the timeline at Month speed and watch Earth overtake Mars — that is retrograde motion, seen from outside.

Readable spacing bends Jupiter's sight-line about 1.5° and Saturn's about 5°. Mercury through Mars stay exact.
