What is a Vedic birth chart?

A Vedic birth chart (kundali) is a map of the sky at the exact moment of your birth, using the sidereal zodiac and Lahiri ayanamsa. It shows the positions of planets in signs and houses, revealing your personality, strengths, challenges, and life path.

How is Vedic astrology different from Western astrology?

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (fixed against stars) rather than the tropical zodiac (season-based). This means your Vedic sun sign is typically about 24 degrees earlier than your Western sign. Vedic astrology also emphasizes the moon sign and nakshatra more than the sun sign.

What information do I need to calculate my birth chart?

You need your exact date of birth, time of birth (as precise as possible), and place of birth (city). The time and location are essential for accurate ascendant and house calculations.

How accurate is this calculator?

What does my ascendant (Lagna) mean?

Your ascendant is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth. It represents your outer personality, physical appearance, and how others perceive you. It sets the structure of all 12 houses in your chart.
