Birth details

Kundli, jatakam, Vedic chart: the same chart

Kundli (also kundali, jatakam, jathagam) is simply the North or South Indian way of drawing the chart this page calculates. Same sidereal longitudes, same nakshatra and pada, same whole-sign houses and house lords — only the diagram differs: a diamond in the north, a fixed square grid in the south. If you came looking for a free kundli online, the table below is it, written out rather than drawn.

The reading you get here is an interpretation of positions, not a prediction of events. It names the nakshatra your Moon falls in, the sign and house of every planet, and which dasha period is running — the facts a practitioner would start a reading from.

Sidereal, not tropical

Jyotish measures from the fixed stars. Because the equinox drifts, the two zodiacs have separated by around 24°, so your sidereal Sun usually sits one sign earlier than the one in a newspaper horoscope. The Lahiri ayanamsha used here is the standard adopted by the Indian calendar reform committee.

Questions people actually ask

Why is my Sun in a different sign than I expected?

This is a sidereal chart, measured against the fixed stars. Western horoscopes use the tropical zodiac, measured from the spring equinox. The two have drifted about 24° apart, so most people land one sign earlier here. Neither system is a mistake; they measure from different starting points. Run the same birth data through the natal chart calculator to see both.

What is a nakshatra?

One of 27 lunar mansions, each about 13°20' wide and divided into four padas. In Jyotish the Moon's nakshatra carries more interpretive weight than its sign, and it also sets the starting point of the Vimshottari dasha timeline.

Which house system is this?

Whole sign, the standard in Jyotish: the ascendant's whole sign is the first house, the next sign the second, and so on. The natal chart page uses Placidus, which is why a planet can show a different house number on the two pages.
