Medini Jyotisha: collective charts, not personal kundlis
Mundane astrology studies countries, governments, public institutions, seasons, collective events, and broad social conditions. Its working charts may include a nation’s foundation chart, a new-year chart, solar ingress charts, eclipses, lunations, and slow planetary conjunctions. Those are different inputs from a person’s birth chart.
That distinction matters. A rule written for a kingdom, a crop season, or a solar ingress cannot be copied into a personal report and presented as a statement about marriage, career, health, or wealth. SahiKundli keeps collective and natal astrology in separate lanes.
What we can use responsibly
- Historical explanation of ingress, eclipse, lunation, and collective-cycle techniques.
- Calendar and seasonal context around Panchanga and Varahamihira’s Brihat Samhita.
- Research questions that can be tested against dated historical data before any public claim is made.
- A clear explanation of why collective conditions do not decide an individual’s destiny.
What SahiKundli will not turn into a product claim
We do not publish predictions of war, assassination, mass casualty, earthquake, epidemic, election result, or market direction. We also do not judge a person’s worth or future by comparing their kundli with a national chart. These subjects either cross SahiKundli’s safety boundary or require evidence that the reviewed books do not establish.
The modern reference reviewed for this methodology note is M.S. Mehta and A. Radhika Rao’s Time Tested Techniques of Mundane Astrology, guided and edited by K.N. Rao. It is a consult reference, not a classical trust-set text and not a source for personal report computation.
Brihat Samhita is the more useful bridge for SahiKundli because its relevant chapters can strengthen gemstone and Panchanga explanation without importing collective catastrophe predictions. Read the Brihat Samhita source note.
