What is the BPHS chart analyzer?
The Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra (BPHS) is the root text of Vedic astrology — the grammar that every later Jyotiṣa tradition is built on. It does not give vague one-line readings. It gives precise conditional rules: when a specific placement is present in a chart, a specific result follows. This analyzer takes your birth chart and checks it, rule by rule, against those classical combinations — then shows you only the ones that are actually present, with their result in plain words and the principle behind them.
Instead of reading interpretations written for “everyone with Mars in the 7th,” you read the combinations the text reserves for your exact configuration — the lagna lord in its house, the company a benefic keeps, an exchange between two house lords, a yogakāraka quietly tying your fortune to your work. Enter your birth details once and step through every match.
How it works
Enter birth details
Date, time and place of birth. The Rāśi chart (D1) is computed instantly using the Lahiri ayanāṁśa and stays in your browser.
The chart is scanned
Every BPHS rule — house lords, planets in bhāvas, yogakārakas — is tested against your placements. Only true matches are kept.

How a chart is read in the Parāśara way
The analyzer follows the same order a classical astrologer uses when judging any house or bhāva:
- 1. The bhāva itself. The sign on the house, and whether benefics or malefics sit in it or aspect it.
- 2. The house lord. Where the lord sits, its dignity (exalted, own sign, friend, enemy, debilitated), and whether it is combust, retrograde or hemmed between malefics.
- 3. The kāraka. The natural significator of the matter — Jupiter for children, Venus for spouse, the Sun for father — and its own condition.
- 4. Confirmation in the vargas. Whether the same theme repeats in the relevant divisional chart — the Navāṁśa (D9) for inner strength and marriage, the Daśāṁśa (D10) for career, the Ṣaṣṭyaṁśa (D60) for root karma. A promise that repeats across vargas carries real weight.
A combination shows a promise. Whether and how strongly it manifests depends on strength, dignity and timing through the daśās. Weak planets cannot deliver a strong result even when the formula is technically present — which is why the analyzer keeps each rule tied to its placement rather than flattening everything into a single verdict.
What the analyzer checks — 263 combinations
The current build covers the house chapters and the bhāva-lord chapter of BPHS, plus yogakārakas. Each row below maps a chapter to the part of life it governs.

| Ch.12 | 1st — Tanu Bhāva | Body, appearance, temperament; the lagna lord and planets rising in the lagna. |
| Ch.13 | 2nd — Dhana Bhāva | Wealth, family, speech, accumulated resources; the 2nd lord and its company. |
| Ch.14 | 3rd — Sahaja Bhāva | Courage, younger siblings, effort, skill of hands and communication. |
| Ch.15 | 4th — Sukha Bhāva | Home, mother, comforts, vehicles, land and inner contentment. |

| Ch.23 | 12th — Vyaya Bhāva | Expenses, losses, foreign lands, the bed-comforts and liberation. |
| Ch.24 | Bhāva lords in all houses | Every one of the 144 placements — each house lord sitting in each of the twelve houses, with its specific result. |
| Ch.34 | Yogakārakas | The single planet that owns both a kendra and a trikoṇa from your lagna and acts as a raja-yoga giver. |

Relative & divisional sub-charts
BPHS judges a relative or a specific theme by treating the relevant house as a fresh ascendant. The analyzer does the same — it re-casts a house in the correct divisional chart and runs the classical rules on that sub-chart, so you can study a spouse, a child or a parent as a chart in its own right.
D9 · Navāṁśa
Marriage, spouse, dharma and the inner strength of every planet. The spouse house (7th) re-cast as a chart of its own.
D12 · Dvādaśāṁśa
Parents and ancestry. The 4th (mother) and 9th (father) seen as their own charts.
D3 · Dreṣkāṇa
Siblings, courage and co-borns. The 3rd and 11th re-cast for brothers and sisters.
D7 · Saptāṁśa
Children and progeny. The 5th house opened up as a chart in its own right.
D60 · Ṣaṣṭyaṁśa
Deep past-life karma — the chart Parāśara weights most heavily for the root of every result.

Frequently asked questions
What is the BPHS analyzer?+
It is a tool that reads your Vedic birth chart against the conditional rules of the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra (BPHS) — the foundational text of Parāśara astrology. It checks each house, each house lord and each yogakāraka against your placements and lists only the combinations that are actually present in your chart, with the classical result and the reasoning behind it.
How do I use it?+
Click “Enter birth details”, fill in your date, time and place of birth, and your Rāśi chart is computed instantly. The analyzer then scans it and shows every matching BPHS combination. You can step through them one by one, see the highlighted houses on the chart, and open the “why” note for the philosophy behind each one.
Which BPHS chapters does it cover?+
House rules for all twelve bhāvas (Chapters 12–23), every one of the 144 bhāva-lord-in-house placements (Chapter 24), and the yogakāraka planet for your lagna (Chapter 34). In total the analyzer carries 263 distinct classical combinations.
Is this accurate to the classical text?+
Each combination is drawn directly from the verses of the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra. A combination only appears for a chart when its exact condition is met — Parāśara gives conditional rules (“if this placement is present, then this result”), not generic one-line readings.
Can I analyze marriage, children or parents separately?+
Yes. The analyzer can re-cast a relevant house as an ascendant of its own — the Navāṁśa (D9) for marriage, the Dvādaśāṁśa (D12) for parents, the Dreṣkāṇa (D3) for siblings, the Saptāṁśa (D7) for children and the Ṣaṣṭyaṁśa (D60) for past-life karma — and run the same BPHS rules on that sub-chart.
Do I need to know astrology to use it?+
No. Every result is written in plain language, so a beginner can read what a combination means in daily life. At the same time each card keeps the chapter reference and the underlying principle, so a practising astrologer can use it as a fast classical cross-check.
Is it free, and is my birth data private?+
It is completely free. Your chart is computed and stored only in your browser session — it is not posted to a public profile or shared.
