Pravesha workspace
Explore Tithi Pravesha, Nakshatra Pravesha and Yoga Pravesha through precise astronomical calculations and multiple chart views.
MKundali provides three specialised Pravesha methods, each examining a different relationship between the Sun and Moon. Calculate exact Annual, Month and Day Pravesha moments, examine the resulting charts and study planetary details and compressed Vimshottari periods within the same workspace.
Pravesha overview
The Pravesha tab has three sub-tabs. Each method starts from a different natal reference: the Moon–Sun elongation, the Moon’s longitude, or the sum of the Sun’s and Moon’s longitudes. Each can be examined at Annual, Month and Day levels.
Pravesha is not Tajaka Varsha Pravesh. Tajaka Varsha is the return of the Sun to its natal longitude, and it has its own workspace: see Tajaka astrology software. The three methods here are separate calculations in MKundali.
How Pravesha works
For every method, MKundali takes one natal reference value and finds the exact moments when the sky reaches it again.
Every moment is found by locating the exact crossing of the target with the sidereal positions of the Sun and Moon, using your ayanamsha and chart preferences.
These are not the ordinary daily Panchanga Tithi, Nakshatra or Yoga. They are specific natal-return calculations.
Pravesha moments are shown in the birth timezone, and each Pravesha chart is cast for the birth latitude and longitude.
Method 1 of 3
Tithi Pravesha is calculated using the angular separation between the Moon and the Sun, known as their elongation.
The exact crossing time is calculated for the selected birth location and timezone.
This is not the ordinary daily Panchanga Tithi.
Method 2 of 3
Nakshatra Pravesha is based on the Moon’s sidereal longitude at birth.
The return is found by the implemented lunar-longitude crossing method.
The target is the natal Moon longitude itself. It is not simply the Moon entering the natal Nakshatra.
Method 3 of 3
Yoga Pravesha uses the combined sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon as its reference.
This is the specific Yoga Pravesha calculation implemented in MKundali. It is not the ordinary daily Panchanga Yoga, and not merely the Sun and Moon entering a Yoga.
Chart hierarchy
Each of the three Pravesha methods can be examined at three levels. Select a calendar year, move to a monthly Pravesha and then examine the individual daily Pravesha moments.
Annual Pravesha (calendar year, after the birth year)
Month 1 = Annual moment
Month 2, 3 ... (successive exact returns, up to the next Annual)
Day 01 = Month start
Day 02 ... (12° target steps, within the month)
Calculate the Annual Pravesha for a selected calendar year using the natal reference appropriate to the selected method.
Year mapping:
Year Index = Calendar Year − Birth Year + 1 Age = Calendar Year − Birth Year
The selected calendar year must be greater than the birth year.
Examine the successive Pravesha returns occurring between one Annual Pravesha and the next.
Month 1 begins at the Annual Pravesha moment. Later months are the successive exact returns of the selected method, so the number of months follows the actual returns between annual moments. It is not fixed at twelve.
Examine the daily Pravesha sequence within a selected month.
Later daily moments use successive 12° increments from the natal reference value. Up to 30 daily entries are generated, ending at the close of the selected monthly interval.
These are not fixed midnight-to-midnight calendar days.
Charts
Each Pravesha method has three standard chart slots, allowing the Annual, Month and Day charts to be examined together.
Examine the three Pravesha levels together and compare their planetary placements and chart structure.
A slot is filled once its level has been selected: choose the year first, then the month and day.
Charts
MKundali provides three additional divisional chart slots for each Pravesha method.
Each divisional chart is derived from its corresponding Pravesha chart. This allows the astrologer to examine the Annual, Month and Day Pravesha at a selected Varga level.
The Varga choices are the Parashari divisional chart options in the existing selector. Their availability follows your subscription settings.
Charts
MKundali provides three Fusion Chart slots for each Pravesha method, one for each Annual, Month and Day level.
Use the Fusion view to examine a Pravesha chart alongside a selected divisional layer.
Fusion is not a separate calculation method. It is a graphical arrangement of the chart sources you select.
Analysis
Each Pravesha method provides a detailed Planetary Details table that can be switched between Annual, Month and Day sources.
The table shows the chart of the selected level, together with the Pravesha moment it belongs to.
The table has additional configurable columns, and you control which are visible through the existing column options.
This table uses the application’s shared planetary-detail structure. The columns are not Pravesha-specific calculations.
Timing
Each Pravesha method provides a Compressed Vimshottari section for examining the Dasha sequence within the selected Annual, Month or Day Pravesha interval.
The 120-year Vimshottari sequence is compressed into the span of the selected level, starting at that level’s Pravesha moment. The span follows the year-length selector below.
The three levels have different lengths, so they do not share one fixed number of days. By default the first Mahadasha uses the remaining Moon Nakshatra balance.
The year-length selector sets how long the compressed Annual span is. It offers these options, shared with the Mundane Compressed Vimshottari controls:
Compressed Vimshottari is a section of each Pravesha method. It is not a full standalone Vimshottari system or a replacement for the normal Dasha workspace.
Why MKundali
Pravesha analysis involves exact astronomical crossings and multiple levels of chart examination. MKundali brings Tithi, Nakshatra and Yoga Pravesha together within one workspace.
MKundali provides calculation and analysis tools. Interpretation remains with the astrologer, and the tools do not guarantee the accuracy of any prediction. For the solar return, see Tajaka; explore also Parashari, KP and Mundane.
FAQ
MKundali supports Tithi Pravesha, Nakshatra Pravesha and Yoga Pravesha.
It uses the natal angular separation between the Moon and Sun as its reference. The annual calculation also requires the Sun to be in its natal sidereal sign.
It uses the natal Moon’s exact sidereal longitude. The annual calculation also requires the Sun to be in its natal sidereal sign.
It uses the sum of the natal sidereal longitudes of the Sun and Moon, normalised to 360 degrees. The annual calculation also checks the Sun’s natal sidereal sign.
Yes. All three methods provide Annual, Month and Day calculation levels.
The daily sequence uses successive 12-degree increments from the relevant natal elongation, Moon longitude or Sun–Moon sum, according to the selected method.
Yes. The Pravesha moments and charts use the birth chart’s location and timezone information.
Yes. Each Pravesha method provides three standard chart slots, three divisional chart slots and three Fusion chart slots.
Yes. It provides Compressed Vimshottari for Annual, Month and Day intervals.
No. Tajaka Varsha uses the return of the Sun to its natal longitude. The three Pravesha methods use different references involving the Moon–Sun elongation, Moon longitude and Sun–Moon longitude sum. See Tajaka astrology software.
