True node vs Mean node — which should I pick?

Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) can be calculated two ways. They differ by up to ~1.6°, which is why two software sometimes place Rahu/Ketu in a different degree, sign, or divisional chart. Pick the one your astrologer or almanac uses.

True node (Sayana/Spashta) — default

  • The actual, instantaneous position of the nodes (accounts for the Moon’s real motion).
  • Astronomically accurate; matches Parashara’s Light, Jagannatha Hora, and drik / observational panchang.
  • Best for precise transit and divisional (D10, D9…) work.
  • Trade-off: it can wobble slightly and briefly appear direct.

Mean node (Madhya)

  • The smoothed, averaged node position; always retrograde with uniform motion.
  • Matches many traditional panchangs/almanacs and older Indian software (e.g. AstroSage default).
  • Steady and predictable — no oscillation.
  • Trade-off: up to ~1.6° away from the true astronomical position.

Tip: comparing with Parashara’s Light or DrikPanchang → choose True node. Comparing with a traditional almanac or AstroSage default → choose Mean node.

Frequently asked questions

Can I match kundli with only date of birth?
Date, time, and place of birth give the most accurate Moon nakshatra (needed for Gun Milan). If exact time is unknown, results are approximate.
Why is birth time needed?
The Moon moves quickly, so birth time and place fix the exact nakshatra and rashi that the eight kootas are calculated from.
Is it free?
Yes — free and instant.
