How it is calculated
Positions are geocentric apparent ecliptic longitudes from Astronomy Engine (MIT), computed on the server for each request using the Japan date. Sidereal positions subtract the Lahiri ayanamsa. Compared with Swiss Ephemeris 2.10 on seven dates, all ten bodies agree within 13 arcseconds, tropical and sidereal with identical signs and retrograde status; Moon sign and nakshatra changes and the lunar quarters agree within a minute, and stations within 7 minutes. Ingresses of slow-moving bodies and stations are shown to the hour.
