Classical Vedic Placements

Additional Outer Planets

Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are supplemental placements rather than traditional Vedic grahas.

Whole-Sign Houses

In whole-sign houses, the sign containing your Ascendant becomes the entire 1st house. Each following zodiac sign becomes the next house in sequence.
