Vedic Astrology Ephemeris Dataset (1800–2200)

Free daily sidereal ephemeris data for Vedic Astrology (Jyotish), planetary transit research, horoscope applications, astrology software, and birth chart tools. The dataset covers the Sun, Moon, planets, Rahu, and Ketu for every date from 1800 through 2200.

Download the planetary positions as yearly JSON, Markdown, or CSV files. The data is released under CC0 for unrestricted personal, academic, and commercial use.

Each daily Vedic astrology ephemeris record contains the sidereal longitude of:

• Sun (Surya)
• Moon (Chandra)
• Mercury (Budha)
• Venus (Shukra)
• Mars (Mangala)
• Jupiter (Guru or Brihaspati)
• Saturn (Shani)
• Uranus
• Neptune
• Pluto
• Rahu (mean north lunar node)
• Ketu (calculated exactly 180° opposite Rahu)

The classical Navagraha are represented by the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are included for astrologers and software projects that also use the modern outer planets.

This open Vedic astrology dataset can be used to:

• look up daily sidereal planetary positions;
• study gochara and long-term planetary transits;
• build Vedic astrology, Jyotish, and horoscope applications;
• create planetary calendars, transit tables, and research visualizations;
• import historical ephemeris data into spreadsheets or databases;
• test astrology APIs and planetary position software; and
• analyze Rahu–Ketu, Saturn, Jupiter, and other graha movements over time.

The files contain daily planetary snapshots rather than complete natal charts. They do not include houses, Ascendant (Lagna), nakshatras, dashas, aspects, tithis, yogas, retrograde flags, or divisional charts. These can be calculated separately from the supplied sidereal longitudes where appropriate.

Moon Dasha is a Vedic astrology platform with interactive tools for exploring planetary transits, Jyotish concepts, and astrological timing. While this repository is designed for downloading and processing yearly ephemeris data, Moon Dasha provides a visual interface for people who want to inspect planetary positions without working directly with JSON or CSV files.

Use the free Moon Dasha Planetary Positions GUI to calculate the sidereal planetary positions for a selected date, time, and location. The interface displays each planet's:

• zodiac sign and degrees within the sign;
• nakshatra and pada;
• speed in degrees per day;
• direct or retrograde motion; and
• absolute longitude in the 360° zodiac.

The page also presents the planetary data in a D1 (Lagna) chart. You can change the ascendant to your own Ascendant or Moon sign to see which houses the current transiting planets occupy in your chart. This is useful for checking today's graha positions, studying past or future gochara, comparing transits with a Janam Kundli, and learning how planets move through signs and nakshatras.

Planet positions are expressed as a zodiac sign plus decimal degrees within that sign. Values are rounded to five decimal places.

Example JSON record:

{
  "date": "2026-01-01",
  "Sun": {
    "sign": "Sagittarius",
    "degrees": 16.6229
  },
  "Moon": {
    "sign": "Taurus",
    "degrees": 16.56051
  },
  "Rahu": {
    "sign": "Aquarius",
    "degrees": 17.93459
  },
  "Ketu": {
    "sign": "Leo",
    "degrees": 17.93459
  }
}

The degrees value is between 0 and 30 and is measured within the named rashi (zodiac sign). To convert it to an absolute sidereal longitude from 0° to 360°:

absolute longitude = (zodiac sign index × 30) + degrees

Aries has index 0, Taurus 1, Gemini 2, and so on through Pisces at index 11.

• Zodiac system: sidereal (Nirayana)
• Ayanamsa: Lahiri
• Position type: geocentric apparent longitude
• Snapshot time: 12:00 at UTC+05:30, equivalent to 06:30 UTC
• Reference coordinates: 28.5622321° N, 77.197764° E
• Precision in published files: five decimal places within each sign

UTC+05:30 is treated as a fixed offset throughout the 1800–2200 date range, not as a reconstruction of historical local civil time. The planetary longitudes are geocentric, and the dataset does not contain houses or local angles, so the reference coordinates do not change the published longitude values.

The repository provides one file per calendar year in each format:

Leap years contain 366 daily records; other years contain 365.

Each yearly JSON file is an array of daily objects. Every planet has a full zodiac sign name and its decimal degrees within that sign. JSON is suitable for web applications, APIs, JavaScript, Python, and database imports.

Each date is a level-two heading followed by all planetary positions using three-letter zodiac abbreviations and decimal degrees. Markdown is convenient for reading, documentation, static websites, and text search.

Each CSV row represents one date. Every planet has paired BodySign and BodyDegrees columns. CSV is suitable for Excel, Google Sheets, data analysis, and relational database imports.

Positions are rounded to five decimal places and represent one daily snapshot, not a continuous planetary trajectory. Historical and far-future astronomical calculations also depend on time-scale models and their uncertainties. Users should independently verify values when greater precision is required.
