The nine offices of the year — its King, its Minister, and the seven lords of the crops, the rains, the prices and the rest — each set by the weekday of a solar moment, and coloured by the graha that rules that day.

These nine lords read the year for the world; the solar-return reads it for you.

Where the saṃvatsara and the day's tithi, nakṣatra and vāra are computed.

Real sun, traditional reading. Each moment — the solar ingresses and Ugādi — is computed from the true Sun (sidereal longitude, Lahiri) for your place, so the dates and weekdays are real. The meanings are the folk mundane-astrology of the almanac: a portrait of the year's collective weather and fortunes, offered for reflection, never as prophecy. (Ugādi is reckoned by the local day of the Chaitra new moon; regional almanacs can differ by a day.)
