Janma Kundali · Vedic birth chart
Your birth chart,in plain words.
A Kundali is a picture of the sky at the exact minute and place you were born. Tell us both, and watch your chart take shape.
Janma Kundali
Your name
date of birth · time · place
How it works
Three steps to your Kundali.
- 01
Tell us when and where
Your name, and the date, exact time and town of your birth. The time sets your rising sign, so the closer to the minute, the truer the chart.
- 02
Watch your chart take shape
We compute the sky for that minute and place, and draw it as a North Indian chart with every planet in its house.
- 03
Read it in plain words
Every term is named and explained where it appears: Lagna, Rashi, Nakshatra, Dasha. No glossary needed.
Why every detail matters
Why the exact time and place matter.
A Kundali is built from three facts about your birth. Here is what each one decides, and why a guess can change the chart.
The date
- Where the Sun and the slower planets stood. They barely move in a day.
- Your Moon sign (Rashi) and birth star (Nakshatra), unless the Moon changed sign that day.
- The order of your Vimshottari Dasha periods: the planetary chapters of your life.
The time
- Your Lagna, the rising sign. It moves to the next sign about every two hours, so a wrong hour can mean a different chart.
- The Moon's exact degree and its star quarter (pada).
- The exact dates each Dasha period begins and ends.
The place
- Which sign was rising on your horizon. The same minute gives a different Lagna in Delhi and in London.
- The twelve houses, counted from that Lagna, and the divisional charts such as Navamsha.
- Sunrise at your birthplace, which decides your weekday lord (Vaar) for births near dawn.
Planetary positions are astronomically computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian national calendar.
Our promise
Three things we hold to.
Plain words
Every Sanskrit term is named and explained in the same breath. You should never need a glossary, or a second website.
Honest about uncertainty
When something cannot be known from what you have given us, we say so, instead of guessing and sounding sure.
Calm, not alarming
Doshas are explained as patterns to understand, not threats to fix today. Nothing here is written to frighten you.
