Question 1

What is a Janam Kundli?

Accepted Answer

A Janam Kundli (birth chart) is a map of the sky at the exact moment of your birth. It shows the positions of the Sun, Moon, and all planets across the 12 zodiac signs (Rashis) and 27 Nakshatras. In Vedic astrology, it is the foundation for understanding your personality, life path, career, relationships, and spiritual journey.

Question 2

What is the difference between D1 and D9 charts?

Accepted Answer

The D1 chart (Rashi chart or Janma Kundli) shows the actual zodiac positions of planets at birth — it is your primary birth chart. The D9 chart (Navamsa) divides each sign into 9 parts and reveals the deeper strength of planets, marriage prospects, and spiritual inclinations. Together, they give a complete picture of your life.

Question 3

What is Vimshottari Dasha?

Accepted Answer

Vimshottari Dasha is the most widely used planetary period system in Vedic astrology. It divides your life into 120 years of planetary periods (Mahadashas), each ruled by a different planet. The sequence and timing depend on your Moon's Nakshatra at birth. It helps predict which planet's influence will dominate during different phases of your life.

Question 4

How accurate is this free Kundli?

Accepted Answer

This tool uses the Moshier ephemeris for planetary calculations and the Lahiri Ayanamsa (the official Indian government standard) for sidereal conversion. The Ascendant (Lagna) is calculated using the astronomy-engine library with IAU2000B obliquity. Accuracy depends on the precision of your birth time — even a few minutes can shift the Lagna.
