Sidereal floor, tropical door
Vedic is the default sky in this house. Western is acknowledged, then left as a door.

CapSage reads sidereal Jyotish: the visible stars, lunar mansions, dashas, nine grahas. A Western tropical door is on the house — psychological language, outer planets, a different zero-point. People who live there are welcome. The floor remains Vedic.
The two systems are not a quarrel to win. They are two ways of naming weather. Mixing them without saying so is how a map becomes fog. Name the zodiac you are standing on, then read.
Uranus, Neptune, Pluto are not seated among the nine grahas. That is not an insult to Western work. It is a boundary of this room.
