Sarvatobhadra Chakra

Sarvatobhadra Chakra vedha (piercing) marks when a transiting planet's position creates an unfavorable link to the day's nakshatra/tithi for muhurta. Each event also carries a direction (Left/Right/Front) and, for Mercury/Venus/Mars/Jupiter/Saturn, the planet's gati (motion state) that decided which direction applies: Vakri (retrograde) → Right, Atichari (unusually fast) → Left, Madhya (normal) → Front. The Sun, Moon, Rahu and Ketu instead produce vedha in all three directions at once.

Panchashalaka and Saptashalaka are separate, simpler vedha systems: a fixed nakshatra-to-nakshatra piercing map with no direction/motion-state concept. See the dedicated Panchashalaka Vedha and Saptashalaka Vedha timelines. Aspect events below are exact-degree angles (drishti) between two planets, including conjunctions.

The panchang chat understands specific vedha/aspect queries too, for example:

• "find sarvatobhadra vedha of Anuradha nakshatra in July 2026"

• "find sarvatobhadra chakra vedha of rahu in july 2026"

• "panchashalaka vedha of Rohini this month"

• "saptashalaka vedha of Saturn next month"

• "conjunction of Mars and Saturn in July 2026"
