What is a Janam Kundali (birth chart)?

A Janam Kundali is your Vedic birth chart (D1 Rashi) calculated from date, time, and place of birth. It shows Lagna (ascendant), Moon sign (Rashi), Nakshatra, houses, and planetary placements used for Jyotish analysis.

Is this Kundali calculator free and accurate?

Yes. NAKSHATRA is free and uses Swiss Ephemeris precision with Lahiri Ayanamsa. No registration is required.

What birth details are required to generate my kundli?

You need your name (optional), date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Exact time improves Lagna and house accuracy.

Janma Kundali Birth Chart

A complete primer on how to read your Vedic birth chart — every concept your report uses, explained from the original classical texts.

The Three Foundation Points of Every Chart

Lagna — The Ascendant

The zodiac sign on the eastern horizon at the exact minute of birth. It defines the 1st house and sets the numbering sequence for all 12 houses. The Lagna governs physical appearance, temperament, and the overall direction of life — it is the lens through which every planet in your chart expresses itself.

Chandra — Moon Sign (Janma Rashi)

The sign the Moon occupied at birth. In Jyotish the Moon sign carries more personal weight than the Sun sign — it governs the mind, emotional patterns, instincts, and the relationship with the mother. Critically, the Moon's Nakshatra at birth seeds the entire Vimshottari Dasha sequence and determines which planetary period you begin life in.

Lagnesh — The Ascendant Lord

The planet that rules the Lagna sign. If Aries rises, Mars is Lagnesh. If Cancer rises, the Moon is. The Lagnesh is the single most important planet in the chart. Its house placement, sign dignity, strength, and aspects received shape the overall direction of life more than any other single factor.

The 9 Grahas — Nature and Domain

Natural Benefics — Supportive by Nature

Guru · Jupiter

Wisdom, dharma, children, teaching, wealth, and spiritual protection. The most benefic planet overall. A Jupiter aspect on any house is considered protective and fortunate.

Shukra · Venus

Relationships, beauty, luxury, arts, vehicles, and marriage. Governs the quality of material life and romantic partnerships.

Chandra · Moon

Mind, emotions, mother, nourishment, and public life. Moon's strength determines the emotional baseline of the native.

Budha · Mercury

Intelligence, communication, trade, writing, and analytical skill. Neutral — becomes benefic in benefic company, malefic in malefic company.

Natural Malefics — Challenging by Nature

Shani · Saturn

Karma, discipline, delays, service, and longevity. In the 3rd, 6th, or 11th house Saturn produces excellent results. Everywhere else it demands sustained effort before results appear.

Mangal · Mars

Courage, property, siblings, aggression, and surgery. In the 3rd, 6th, or 11th Mars gives exceptional drive. In the 7th or 8th it can create friction in partnerships.

Surya · Sun

Soul, father, authority, and vitality. Functionally malefic because it burns planets that come within orb — combustion weakens a planet's ability to deliver results.

Rahu · North Node

Obsession, ambition, foreign elements, and rapid transformation. Amplifies and distorts whatever house it occupies. Behaves like Saturn.

Ketu · South Node

Past-life karma, spirituality, detachment, and completion. Brings losses and endings that redirect attention toward what truly matters. Behaves like Mars.

Planetary Dignity — Why the Sign Changes Everything

The same planet in two different signs performs very differently. Classical Jyotish defines six levels of sign-based dignity.

Uccha · Exaltation

Maximum strength. Sun in Aries, Moon in Taurus, Jupiter in Cancer, Mars in Capricorn, Saturn in Libra, Mercury in Virgo, Venus in Pisces. At the exact exaltation degree, strength peaks completely.

Moolatrikona

Slightly below exaltation, still very strong. Sun Leo 0–20°, Moon Taurus 4–30°, Mars Aries 0–12°, Mercury Virgo 16–20°, Jupiter Sagittarius 0–10°, Venus Libra 0–15°, Saturn Aquarius 0–20°.

Swakshetra · Own Sign

Planet in the sign it rules. Reliable, consistent delivery of significations. Results arrive on schedule.

Mitra Rashi · Friendly Sign

Moderate strength. Functions well but without the full authority of own-sign placement.

Shatru Rashi · Enemy Sign

Weakened and under resistance. Significations achieved with difficulty and effort.

Neecha · Debilitation

Opposite to exaltation. Sun in Libra, Moon in Scorpio, Jupiter in Capricorn, Mars in Cancer, Saturn in Aries, Mercury in Pisces, Venus in Virgo. However, Neecha Bhanga — cancellation of debility — occurs under specific conditions and can produce results stronger than an exalted planet, because the forced overcoming of adversity gives the planet exceptional force.

The 12 Bhavas — House Significations

1st · Lagna (Tanu Bhava)

Self, body, appearance, temperament, overall vitality, and the chart's general direction. A kendra and trikona simultaneously — the most powerful house.

2nd · Dhana Bhava

Accumulated wealth, family of origin, speech, food, face, and stored resources.

3rd · Sahaja Bhava

Younger siblings, courage, short journeys, communication, hands, and personal effort. Upachaya — malefics placed here strengthen over time.

4th · Sukha Bhava

Mother, home, property, vehicles, inner happiness, and emotional security.

5th · Putra Bhava

Children, intelligence, past-life merit (Purva Punya), creative output, romance, and speculation. One of the most benefic houses.

6th · Ari Bhava

Enemies, disease, debt, litigation, and service. A dusthana — malefics placed here can paradoxically strengthen by destroying enemies.

7th · Kalatra Bhava

Spouse, business partners, open adversaries, and foreign dealings.

8th · Mrityu Bhava

Longevity, transformation, inheritance, occult, and sudden events. Difficult for ease; deep for spiritual potential.

9th · Dharma Bhava

Father, guru, fortune, higher learning, and ethics. The most naturally auspicious house. Its strong lord is a primary Raja Yoga indicator.

10th · Karma Bhava

Career, public status, authority, and actions in the world. The strongest kendra and primary house for professional analysis.

11th · Labha Bhava

Income, gains, elder siblings, and fulfillment of desires. Even malefics generally perform well here. Upachaya house.

12th · Vyaya Bhava

Losses, expenditure, foreign lands, sleep, and spiritual liberation. Difficult for material life; excellent for moksha-oriented paths.

Graha Drishti — Planetary Aspects

Every planet casts its influence (Drishti) on the house directly opposite it — the 7th from its position. This universal aspect is shared by all nine grahas. Three planets carry additional special aspects.

Mangal · Mars

Also aspects the 4th and 8th houses from itself. Activating and sometimes aggressive on these positions.

Guru · Jupiter

Also aspects the 5th and 9th from itself. Jupiter's aspect is the most benefic influence in Jyotish. A Jupiter aspect on the Lagna or Moon is protective and fortune-enhancing regardless of other configurations.

Shani · Saturn

Also aspects the 3rd and 10th from itself. Saturn's aspect brings pressure, discipline, and delay to whatever it touches.

Vimshottari Dasha — Your Planetary Timeline

The Vimshottari Dasha (विंशोत्तरी दशा) is a 120-year sequence of planetary periods. The Moon's Nakshatra at birth determines the starting planet. Each period activates the natal potential of its ruling planet — a strong, well-placed Dasha lord gives positive results; a weak or afflicted one brings challenges regardless of the period's length.

The Sequence and Durations

Ketu · 7 years

Past karma, detachment, and spiritual reorientation. Disorienting but clarifying.

Shukra · Venus · 20 years

The longest period. Relationships, material comforts, and arts. Most productive when Venus is strong and well placed.

Surya · Sun · 6 years

Identity, authority, career focus, and clarity of purpose.

Chandra · Moon · 10 years

Mind, emotions, family. Quality entirely depends on Moon's natal sign dignity and aspects.

Mangal · Mars · 7 years

Drive, property, conflict. Decisive action or disputes depending on Mars's placement.

Rahu · 18 years

Ambition, rapid transformation, and boundary-crossing. Often the most turbulent and growth-producing phase.

Guru · Jupiter · 16 years

Expansion, wisdom, opportunity, and grace. Generally the most benefic Dasha when Jupiter is well placed.

Shani · Saturn · 19 years

The most karmic period. Rewards sustained effort; brings structured reckoning where karma is due.

Budha · Mercury · 17 years

Commerce, communication, skill, and intellectual activity.

Key Yogas and Doshas

Auspicious Yogas — Combinations That Elevate the Life

Kendra-Trikona Raja Yoga

Lord of a kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) and lord of a trikona (1, 5, 9) conjunct or in mutual aspect. The foundational Raja Yoga of Parashari Jyotish — produces authority, status, and recognition.

Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga

Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, or Saturn in its exaltation or own sign in a kendra. Five types: Ruchaka (Mars), Bhadra (Mercury), Hamsa (Jupiter), Malavya (Venus), Shasha (Saturn). Each produces exceptional results in that planet's domain.

Gajakesari Yoga

Jupiter and Moon in mutual kendra positions. Good fortune, wisdom, and lasting reputation when both planets are strong.

Dhana Yoga

Lords of the 2nd and 11th houses connected. A direct wealth indicator — multiple Dhana Yogas together indicate significant accumulation.

Key Doshas — Combinations That Create Challenge

Mangal Dosha

Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house. Creates friction and intensity in marriage and close partnerships. Traditionally matched — two Manglik partners balance each other. Diminishes significantly after age 28.

Kaal Sarp Dosha

All seven classical planets between Rahu and Ketu. Intense karmic experiences and delays — but also exceptional spiritual potential and the capacity for extraordinary achievement once the pattern is worked through.

Pitra Dosha

Sun or Rahu in the 9th house, or Sun conjunct Rahu. Unresolved ancestral karma creating friction with the paternal lineage and delays in finding clear direction.
