Mundane workspace
Explore lunar and solar calendar charts, planetary ingresses, Ardra Pravesh, eclipse charts and Swearing-in Dasha analysis through MKundali.
MKundali brings multiple Mundane astrology tools into one integrated workspace. Examine lunar and solar calendar events, calculate planetary ingress charts, study lunar and solar eclipses at selected contact times and analyse the term of an office through Compressed Vimshottari.
The Mundane workspace uses the selected chart’s date, time and geographical location as its reference. Calculate a chart first, then use the Mundane tools for that place.
Workspace overview
The Mundane tab opens with four subtabs. Lunar and Solar cast calendar charts, Eclipse casts charts at eclipse contact times, and Swearing-in compresses Vimshottari into the term of an office.
Some tools may be restricted to certain subscription plans. See the Pricing page for current availability.
Subtab 1 of 4
MKundali provides a dedicated Lunar workspace for calculating charts associated with significant lunar calendar boundaries. Examine Lunar New Year, successive Lunar New Months, fortnight beginnings and individual New Lunar Day moments.
Calculate the Lunar New Year using a Sun–Moon conjunction occurring in the selected year-start sign.
The year-start sign comes from the Lunar Calendar preferences. The default is Pisces.
Examine successive lunar month boundaries within the selected lunar year.
The selected definition determines the boundaries of the month sequence. It is a separate Lunar Calendar preference, not the general Panchanga month-begins preference. Months run from the Lunar New Year until the next one, so their number follows the boundaries found.
Examine charts calculated at the beginning of each lunar fortnight.
A month offers its start and the nearest following Amavasya or Purnima inside the month.
Calculate a chart for the selected Tithi boundary. MKundali identifies the beginning of a new lunar day when the Moon–Sun elongation crosses a multiple of 12 degrees.
Day 01 is the start of the selected span.
Navigate through the lunar calendar hierarchy using the Year, Month, Fortnight and Day selectors.

These settings determine how the Lunar Year and successive month boundaries are identified:
Subtab 2 of 4
MKundali provides Solar New Year and Solar New Month charts based on the Sun’s sidereal sign ingress.
Solar New Year is calculated at the moment the Sun enters sidereal Aries.
Examine the twelve solar month beginnings through successive solar sign ingresses.
The first solar month begins at the Aries ingress. Each later month begins when the Sun enters the next sidereal sign.
MKundali provides four special solar ingress chart options corresponding to the beginning of the four movable signs.
Aries ingress coincides with Solar New Year. Cancer, Libra and Capricorn ingresses act as additional seasonal checkpoints approximately three months apart. Traditional mundane astrology uses these ingress charts to examine broader conditions over the corresponding periods.
Each has its own Previous and Next controls. The chart loads into the Solar New Month slot. MKundali does not generate an independent national prediction from these charts.
MKundali provides a dedicated Ardra Pravesh calculation for the exact moment the Sun enters Ardra Nakshatra.
Ardra Pravesh is treated as a separate solar event rather than one of the twelve regular solar months. It is traditionally associated with weather and seasonal agricultural considerations.
It also loads into the Solar New Month slot. MKundali does not provide meteorological forecasts.

Subtab 3 of 4
MKundali provides dedicated eclipse chart calculations using the Swiss Ephemeris eclipse search functionality. Three eclipse types are supported.
Search for previous and next lunar eclipses around the selected calendar year.
A visibility note reminds you that a lunar eclipse may or may not be visible from the selected place. Check whether it falls in the night time.
Search for global solar eclipses using the Swiss Ephemeris search functionality.
Search for local solar eclipses using the selected geographical location.
Results are calculated for the selected chart place. If no local eclipse is found near the date for that place, no local result is produced.
Before an eclipse chart is created, MKundali presents a contact-time preview.
Next finds the first eclipse after 1 January of the year. Previous finds the last eclipse before 1 January of the following year. The interface works through Previous and Next searches, not a full annual list of eclipses.
Examine the selected eclipse moment through three standard chart slots, currently configured as D1, D9 and D12. Use the Fusion Charts to compare the eclipse chart with selected divisional layers.
Compressed Vimshottari is not available in the Eclipse subtab. Eclipse dates, contact times and visibility are not guaranteed to be available for every place and search boundary.
Subtab 4 of 4
MKundali provides a specialised Compressed Vimshottari facility for examining the term associated with an oath or swearing-in moment.
The chart calculation supplies the planetary positions and Moon Nakshatra used by the term Dasha. Swearing-in has no separate chart-entry system and no chart display of its own.
Specify the duration of the term using either years or days.
MKundali compresses the 120-year Vimshottari sequence into the selected term duration.
With the option on, the full first Mahadasha starts at the oath moment instead.
When the term is entered in years, the year-length option converts it to days.
Use the date and time lookup to examine the running Dasha sequence at a selected point within the office term.
The calculation is limited to the term duration you enter.
Swearing-in Dasha is a term-based analysis facility. It is not an election prediction engine, and it does not guarantee that an individual will complete the selected term.
Charts
MKundali provides standard and fusion chart arrangements for the Lunar, Solar and Eclipse workspaces.
| Workspace | Standard chart slots | Fusion slots |
|---|---|---|
| Lunar | 4: Lunar New Year, Lunar New Month, Fortnight, New Lunar Day | 4, one per Lunar level |
| Solar | 2: Solar New Year, Solar New Month | 2, one per Solar level |
| Eclipse | 3: D1, D9, D12 | 3, for the selected eclipse chart with its outer layers |
Use a Fusion chart to compare a Mundane chart with a selected divisional layer. The Lunar and Solar fusion slots default to a D9 outer chart.
Swearing-in does not have Standard or Fusion chart sections. It uses the main chart calculation and the term Dasha workflow.
Analysis
MKundali provides a detailed Planetary Positions table for the selected Lunar, Solar or Eclipse chart.
Use the existing column visibility controls to configure the displayed information. Not every column is shown at all times.
This is the shared Planetary Details infrastructure applied to the selected Mundane chart. The columns are not calculations exclusive to Mundane astrology.
Timing
MKundali provides Compressed Vimshottari for Lunar and Solar calendar charts, allowing the classical 120-year Vimshottari sequence to be represented within the selected mundane calendar period.
Compressed Vimshottari is not available for Eclipse charts. It is not yet in the Eclipse subtab.
The 120-year sequence is fitted into the selected period, starting at that chart’s moment. The span depends on the level and on the year-length option:
The span is a proportion of the selected year-length, not the measured length of that particular lunar or solar period.
By default, the first Mahadasha uses the remaining Moon Nakshatra balance, following a JHora-style approach.
The optional setting Ignore Moon constellation fraction starts the full first Mahadasha at the selected chart moment.
Use the Dasha browser to examine the Mahadasha and its subsequent period levels, including date-based lookup. The lower subdivisions are computed by the existing Dasha browser implementation.
Why MKundali
Mundane astrology examines significant calendar boundaries, planetary ingresses, eclipses and important public events. MKundali brings several of these calculations into one integrated workspace.
MKundali provides calculation and analysis tools. It does not automatically predict national fortunes, political outcomes, elections or weather. Interpretation remains with the astrologer. For individual annual charts, see Tajaka and Pravesha.
