The Sarvatobhadra Chakra (SBC) is one of the most intricate and revered tools in Vedic astrology (Jyotisha) and Muhurta (electional astrology). Translated as the "Auspicious Wheel All Around," it is a 9x9 magical grid of 81 cells used to determine the overall quality (Shubha or Ashubha) of a given moment, primarily for initiating important actions like travel, contracts, or ceremonies. For centuries, calculating the chakra manually was a tedious, error-prone process involving multiple planetary positions and complex cross-referencing. However, by encoding its logic into Microsoft Excel, we transform this ancient wisdom into a dynamic, real-time, and error-free decision-support system. This essay explores the structure of the Sarvatobhadra Chakra and demonstrates how Excel can be used to automate its calculation and visualization.
