How to use Kundli

Your Vedic birth chart: the ascendant, Moon sign, nakshatra and the position of every planet at the moment you were born.

Open Kundli

Step by step

  1. 1

    Enter the name

    Use the name you want on the report. It is only used for display.

  2. 2

    Pick the date of birth

    Type it as DD/MM/YYYY or tap the calendar icon and choose the year, month and day from the menus.

  3. 3

    Set the time of birth

    Type it (for example 6:30 pm) or tap the clock icon: choose the hour, then the minutes, then AM or PM. If the time is unknown, tick the box below the field and the report will say what that changes.

  4. 4

    Find the place of birth

    Start typing the town or city and pick it from the list. Its coordinates and historical time zone are used, so the chart is right even for births abroad or before daylight saving rules changed.

  5. 5

    Generate the Kundli

    Your result appears instantly. Birth details are saved on this device so you can come back in one tap.

  6. 6

    Read the summary

    The pills under your name show your ascendant (Lagna), Moon sign (Rashi), birth star (Nakshatra) and the planetary period you are in now.

  7. 7

    Move between sections

    Overview and Planets are free. Your reading, Questions answered, Charts, Dasha, Doshas & Yogas, Sade Sati and Remedies make up the complete report.

  8. 8

    Switch the chart style

    Choose North Indian (diamond) or South Indian (fixed signs) to match the charts your family uses.

What happens behind the scenes

Your exact moment of birth

The local time is converted to universal time with the historical time-zone rules of your birthplace, including old local mean time and India’s War Time in 1941–45.

Planet positions

Each planet’s position is calculated astronomically, then shifted into the sidereal (Vedic) zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard of Indian Panchangs. Rahu and Ketu use the mean node by default.

Ascendant and houses

The rising sign comes from the time and your birthplace’s latitude and longitude. Houses are counted sign by sign from it, as in the Parashari tradition.

Dashas, yogas and doshas

Your Vimshottari dasha starts from the Moon’s exact position in its nakshatra. Yogas and doshas are checked against the classical texts, including the rules that reduce or cancel a dosha.

Reading your results and tips

Reading your results

  • Start with three things: your ascendant (how you meet the world), your Moon sign (your mind and feelings) and your nakshatra (your inborn temperament).
  • In the chart, the box marked ASC is the first house. Count houses from there; each planet’s house shows the area of life it colours.
  • In the Dasha section, the running Mahadasha sets the main theme of these years and the Antardasha the theme of the months.
  • A dosha marked cancelled has a classical exception in your chart, so it is not treated as active.
  • Your reading explains your ascendant, Moon sign, birth star and each planet’s house in plain English; start there if the charts feel technical.

Tips

  • An exact birth time matters: the ascendant changes about every two hours, and the dasha dates depend on the Moon’s position to the minute.
  • Use the share button to send the chart to family. The link carries the birth details, so share it only with people you trust.
