What is a janma kundali? A janma kundali (birth chart or horoscope) is a map of the sky at the moment of your birth, drawn in the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic astrology. From your date, time and place of birth it fixes the lagna (ascendant), places the nine grahas in the twelve houses, and everything else – divisional charts, dashas, yogas and doshas – is read from that map.

How this kundali is calculated
Every value on this page comes from the same pipeline that classical panchang makers follow, carried out by code instead of tables. Your birth time is first converted to universal time using the full historical timezone record of your birth place, so births during unusual periods are handled correctly. One example: India ran one hour ahead of IST from September 1942 to October 1945, and a chart from those years silently shifts by a whole house if that hour is ignored.
From that instant we compute the tropical positions of the Sun, Moon and planets with an astronomy engine whose output has been checked against Swiss Ephemeris, the reference used by professional astrology software, across five hundred random charts spanning 1900 to 2100. The worst planetary difference in that test was about one arc minute, roughly one thirtieth of the Moon’s visible width. Subtracting the Lahiri ayanamsha (Chitra Paksha, the value notified for Indian panchangs) turns those into sidereal positions, and everything else follows: the lagna from the local sidereal time and your latitude, houses by the whole-sign method, divisional charts by the classical Parashari divisions, and the Vimshottari dasha from the Moon’s progress through its nakshatra.
The whole computation runs inside your browser. Nothing you type is transmitted, stored or logged anywhere.
How to read your kundali
Three anchors carry most of a first reading:
- Lagna (ascendant) is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth. It fixes the frame: the lagna sign becomes the first house, and every other house counts on from it. The lagna and its lord describe the body, temperament and the general direction of life.
- Rashi (Moon sign) is where the Moon stood. Vedic tradition reads the mind and emotional nature from the Moon, and most panchang-based predictions (including daily rashifal) are keyed to it.
- Janma nakshatra is the lunar mansion holding the Moon, a finer division than the sign. It names your birth star, sets the starting dasha, and guides naming and matching customs.
The twelve houses then divide life into departments:
| House | Classical name | Chief matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Tanu | Self, body, temperament |
| 2 | Dhana | Wealth, speech, family |
| 3 | Sahaja | Courage, siblings, effort |
| 4 | Sukha | Home, mother, inner peace |
| 5 | Putra | Children, intellect, merit |
| 6 | Ripu | Obstacles, health, service |
| 7 | Kalatra | Marriage, partnership |
| 8 | Ayu | Longevity, transformation, the hidden |
| 9 | Dharma | Fortune, father, faith |
| 10 | Karma | Career, public standing |
| 11 | Labha | Gains, friends, aspirations |
| 12 | Vyaya | Loss, expenditure, liberation |
Each graha is a significator in its own right: the Sun for soul and authority, the Moon for mind, Mars for energy and courage, Mercury for speech and intellect, Jupiter for wisdom and children, Venus for love and comforts, Saturn for discipline and longevity, Rahu for worldly hunger and the unconventional, Ketu for detachment and moksha. A graha’s condition (its sign dignity, house, motion and closeness to the Sun) matters more than its mere presence: an exalted planet gives its results freely, a debilitated or combust one asks for effort first, and a retrograde one is widely read as intensified or inward-turned.
What the divisional charts (vargas) are for
The rashi chart answers the broad questions; the divisional charts sharpen one topic each. A varga slices every sign into equal parts and re-maps each part to a full sign, so a planet’s varga position tests how firmly it stands in that department of life. The navamsha (D9) is the most consulted: it rules marriage and dharma, and a planet occupying the same sign in D1 and D9 (vargottama) is counted especially steady. The dashamsha (D10) refines career questions, the saptamsha (D7) children, the dvadashamsha (D12) parents, and the shashtiamsha (D60), the finest division here, is traditionally tied to carried-over karma and is extremely sensitive to birth-time accuracy.
A practical caution: the finer the division, the faster it changes. D9 lagna shifts roughly every 13 minutes and D60 lagna every 2 minutes, so treat fine vargas as reliable only when the birth time is recorded, not remembered.
The Vimshottari Dasha timeline
Vedic astrology times events with planetary periods rather than transits alone. Vimshottari, the most used system, assigns each graha a fixed share of a 120-year cycle: Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19 and Mercury 17 years. Your starting point is set by the Moon’s nakshatra at birth: its lord opens the sequence, and the fraction of the nakshatra already crossed is the fraction of that first period already spent. Each maha dasha divides into nine antardashas in the same proportions, and those again into pratyantardashas, which is the level shown here.
Read a dasha as a chapter heading, not a verdict. The running lord’s dignity, houses and yogas in your chart colour the whole period; a well-placed Saturn’s 19 years build patiently, while the same years with an afflicted Saturn feel like pruning. Note that dasha dates differ slightly between programs because some use a 365.25-day year (as here and in most Indian software) and others a 360-day savana year; the sequence never changes, only the boundary dates.
Yogas and doshas, briefly
A yoga is simply a named planetary combination with a traditional reading attached. Some are supportive (Gajakesari from Jupiter’s angle to the Moon, the five Mahapurusha yogas from a strong planet in a kendra), some cautionary (Kemadruma from an unsupported Moon, Shakata from the Moon’s hard angle to Jupiter), and two are famous enough to have their own calculators on this site: Kaal Sarp Dosh, formed when all seven planets stand to one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis, and Mangal Dosha, from Mars in specific houses. This page checks presence by the standard sign-and-house rules and says so plainly when a yoga is absent. Strength is a different question: classical practice weighs the whole chart, cancellations included, before promising anything, which is why each yoga card here carries its condition rather than a prediction.
Why results differ slightly between websites
Compare any two kundali programs and you will find small differences. The usual sources, in decreasing size: a different ayanamsha (Lahiri vs Raman vs KP moves everything by up to a degree), true versus mean Rahu (up to about 1.7 degrees), the dasha year length (365.25 vs 360 days shifts distant dates by months), house systems (whole-sign here; some sites show Sripati bhava cusps), and finally small ephemeris and rounding differences (arc minutes). This page states its conventions openly: Lahiri ayanamsha, mean nodes, whole-sign houses, 365.25-day dasha year, geographic latitude. When another site disagrees with a sign placement, the planet almost always sits within a degree of a boundary, and the notes above the tables flag such borderline cases.
