A Kundli, also known as a Janam Patrika or Janma Kundali, is a detailed astrological chart prepared based on the exact date, time, and place of a person's birth. In Vedic astrology, the Kundli maps the precise positions of the Sun, Moon, and all visible planets at the moment of birth across 12 houses (Bhavas) and 12 zodiac signs (Rashis). This cosmic snapshot helps astrologers understand a person's character, destiny, career, relationships, and life events. The 12 houses represent different life domains — health, wealth, siblings, home, children, enemies, spouse, longevity, fortune, profession, income, and liberation.
Reading a Kundli involves analyzing several key components. The Lagna (Ascendant) — the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth — determines the layout of all 12 houses. The Moon sign (Rashi) indicates your emotional nature and is used for daily predictions. Each house governs a specific life domain: the 1st house represents self and personality, the 7th house governs marriage, the 10th house covers career and profession, and the 4th house relates to home and mother. Planetary aspects (Drishti) and conjunctions further modify the results of each house. The strength of each planet (Shadbala) determines how powerfully it influences your life outcomes.
The Vimshottari Dasha is a unique 120-year timing system in Vedic astrology, divided among nine planets. Each Maha Dasha (major period) is governed by a planet: Sun (6 years), Moon (10 years), Mars (7 years), Rahu (18 years), Jupiter (16 years), Saturn (19 years), Mercury (17 years), Ketu (7 years), and Venus (20 years). The sequence begins with the planet ruling your birth Nakshatra. Within each Maha Dasha are Antar Dashas (sub-periods) that provide more precise timing for life events. Understanding your current Dasha period helps predict opportunities, challenges, and significant milestones in career, marriage, and health.
Yes, AstroEpanchang uses precise Swiss Ephemeris calculations with Lahiri Ayanamsa — the same standard used by professional astrologers in India. Accuracy depends on entering the correct birth time, as even a few minutes difference can change the Lagna (Ascendant) and Dasha period.
You need your exact date of birth, time of birth (as accurate as possible — hospital records are best), and place of birth (city/town). The birth place is used to determine geographic coordinates and timezone for precise planetary calculations.
The Rasi chart (D-1) is the primary birth chart showing planetary positions at birth. The Navamsa chart (D-9) divides each sign into 9 equal parts and is used for marriage compatibility and spiritual analysis. Both charts are equally important in Vedic astrology — the Rasi chart shows potential, while the Navamsa reveals how that potential manifests in life.
Manglik Dosha (Kuja Dosha) occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the birth chart. It is believed to affect marriage harmony. Approximately 50% of people have some form of Manglik Dosha. When both partners have Manglik Dosha, the effects are believed to neutralize each other.
A partial chart can be prepared using only date and place of birth, but it will lack accurate Lagna, house placements, and precise Dasha starting point. For complete and reliable predictions, the exact birth time is essential. If unknown, an experienced astrologer can perform birth time rectification using key life events.
Nakshatras are 27 lunar mansions used in Vedic astrology, each spanning 13°20' of the zodiac. Your birth Nakshatra (the constellation where the Moon was placed at birth) determines your Vimshottari Dasha sequence, personality traits, and compatibility with other Nakshatras. It is one of the most fundamental elements in Vedic astrology for marriage matching, naming ceremonies, and spiritual practices.
