Vedic astrology for a Louisiana birth
Louisiana is Central time in full, and vedic astrology uses America/Chicago, New Orleans included. Daylight saving changes the minutes, and those minutes go in before the Julian day, where they can move the sidereal lagna. New Orleans does not donate its geocode to Shreveport or to any other city in the state. The zone is shared. The place is not.

New Orleans is one city on that zone
A birth in New Orleans is America/Chicago, with daylight saving. Type New Orleans if that is what the record says. A birth farther north in the state is the same zone and a different geocode. Jyothish SI will not treat 'Louisiana' as a point. During daylight saving, leave the clock hour as printed. Subtracting an hour yourself doubles a correction the offset step already performs.
Sidereal results
Lahiri ayanamsa and Swiss Ephemeris produce the sidereal positions after the Central minutes are applied. The screen shows the sidereal lagna, the Moon nakshatra, and the dasha now running. The 10th and the lord of the 10th answer a career question. The dasha year is whatever that birth calculates. It is not a figure this page can hand to every Louisiana chart.
Born here or only living here
The Central offset belongs to births in the state. Someone who lives in Louisiana and was born in a different zone needs the birth city. A free account can generate the Kundli and chat about the chart that results. Paid plans are what add the PDF, extra divisional charts, and WhatsApp transit alerts. Marriage reading, when you ask, uses the 7th, its lord, and D9.

Frequently asked questions
Is New Orleans on Central time?
Yes. Vedic astrology for New Orleans, and for the rest of Louisiana, uses America/Chicago with daylight saving. The city is still geocoded as itself.
Does any Louisiana parish use Eastern or Mountain time?
No. The state is Central time throughout. The parish changes the geocode, not the zone name.
What should I type for the hour?
The clock time on the record. The America/Chicago offset for that date, standard or daylight, is applied before the Julian day.
