8 verified royal charts from verified historical records — Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III, Queen Victoria, King George VI, Louis XIV (the Sun King), Emperor Naruhito of Japan, King Felipe VI of Spain and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. Each entry anchors the rise-event to the day the crown was placed — accession, coronation or investiture — and surfaces the exact Mahadasha-Antardasha that fired the 10th-house (throne), 11th-house (authority), Sun (sovereignty) and Jupiter (royal grace) machinery. Pure mathematical anatomy of monarchy.
