Free Kundli — Janam Kundli & Birth Chart
Your Vedic birth chart, computed from a Swiss-grade sidereal engine. Enter your birth details to see your Lagna, planets, houses and current dasha.
Birth time is read in the local time of your birth place. Leave time blank to read from the Moon only.
What Your Janam Kundli Shows
Your kundli is the snapshot of the heavens at your first breath. Vedic astrology divides that sky into twelve signs (rashis) and, from your birth time and place, twelve houses (bhavas). The rising sign on the eastern horizon becomes your Lagna, the first house, and every planet then falls into a house that colours a specific area of life — self, wealth, siblings, home, children, work, marriage, and so on. This calculator places all nine grahas, marks any that are retrograde, and fixes your Lagna to the degree when your birth time is known.
Sidereal, Not Sun-Sign
Unlike the twelve-bucket sun-sign horoscopes, a Vedic kundli is built on the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa), which tracks the actual constellations. It reads your Moon sign and nakshatra, not just your Sun, which is why two people born the same month can have completely different charts. That precision is what lets Vedic astrology speak to timing through the dasha system, something Western sun-sign astrology has no equivalent for.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Janam Kundli?
A Janam Kundli, or birth chart, is a map of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. It shows where the Sun, Moon and planets sat across the twelve signs and houses, and your rising sign (Lagna). Vedic astrology reads this map to describe your nature, timing and life themes.
Is this free kundli accurate?
Yes. It uses a Swiss-grade sidereal (Lahiri ayanamsa) ephemeris, the same calculation a professional Vedic astrologer uses. Your Lagna and house placements are accurate to the degree when your birth time is correct. Without a birth time the chart still gives your Moon sign, nakshatra and dasha.
Do I need my exact birth time?
Birth time decides your Lagna (ascendant) and which house each planet falls in, so it sharpens the whole chart. If you know it, enter it. If you do not, leave it and the kundli reads from your Moon, which still reveals your sign, nakshatra and current planetary period.
What is the difference between Rashi (Moon sign) and Lagna?
Your Rashi is the sign your Moon occupied at birth and it governs your mind and emotions. Your Lagna is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth time and it anchors the houses of your chart. Vedic astrology weighs both, which is why it often feels more precise than sun-sign horoscopes.
What is a dasha and why does the kundli show one?
The Vimshottari dasha is the planetary timeline of your life. At any moment one planet runs your major period (Mahadasha) and another runs the sub-period (Antardasha), together setting the theme of this chapter. Your kundli shows the period you are living through now so the chart is not just static, it is dated to today.
