Nine-Graha Coordinate Ledger, Nakshatra Padas, and Daily Velocities
All ecliptic longitudes listed below are computed at 12:00:00 UTC using the true osculating lunar node (Rahu / Ketu) and the Chitrapaksha Lahiri Ayanamsha (24° 13' 18"), allowing direct comparison between the Sidereal Rashi and the Tropical Equinox coordinate across the 24.22° axial precession offset.

The 27-Nakshatra & 9-Graha Vimshottari Ecliptic Cycle
The sidereal ecliptic is divided into 27 Nakshatras of 13° 20' (800 arc-minutes) each, grouped into three 120° triads (Paryayas) starting at 0°00' Mesha (Ashwini), 0°00' Simha (Magha), and 0°00' Dhanu (Mula). Each triad cycles through the nine Vimshottari Dasha lords in fixed sequence: Ketu (7y), Venus (20y), Sun (6y), Moon (10y), Mars (7y), Rahu (18y), Jupiter (16y), Saturn (19y), and Mercury (17y) — totaling 120 human years.
