A Kundli (also written Kundali, and called a Janam Kundli, Janam Patrika or birth chart) is a map of the sky at the moment you were born, drawn from the Earth at your place of birth. Vedic astrology (Jyotish) reads your life themes, strengths and the timing of events from this one chart. Every reading, from marriage matching to a dasha forecast, starts here.
This free Kundli calculator computes your chart from your birth details and shows it the way a Jyotishi would lay it out: the North Indian chart, the planet table, your Navamsa (D9), your Vimshottari dasha periods and the yogas present in your chart.
The North Indian chart. The diamond in the top centre is always your 1st house (Lagna). The houses then run anticlockwise: the 2nd house is the triangle to its upper left, the 4th is the left diamond, the 7th the bottom diamond and the 10th the right diamond. The small number in each house is the sign in it (1 is Aries, 2 is Taurus, and so on to 12 for Pisces). Planets are written as short names, such as Su for Sun and Mo for Moon. An R marks a retrograde planet, a green triangle an exalted planet and a red one a debilitated planet. Tap any house to turn the chart so that house sits at the top (the Bhavat Bhavam technique).
The planet table. Read each row as "this planet is in this sign, at this degree, in this house, in this nakshatra". The degree matters: a planet at 0 or 29 degrees sits at the edge of its sign and is read as weaker by many astrologers. The house tells you which area of life the planet acts on.
What the houses cover. 1st self and body, 2nd family and money, 3rd courage and siblings, 4th home and mother, 5th children, learning and romance, 6th health, debts and rivals, 7th marriage and partners, 8th longevity and sudden change, 9th fortune, father and dharma, 10th career and status, 11th gains and friends, 12th expenses, loss and foreign lands.
Navamsa (D9). Each sign is split into nine parts, and the D9 shows which part each planet fell in. A planet that is strong in both the main chart and the Navamsa is reliably strong. The D9 is the first chart checked for marriage.
Vimshottari dasha. A 120-year cycle of planetary periods. The first period belongs to the lord of your Janma Nakshatra, and how much of it was left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through that nakshatra. The Mahadasha sets the main theme of a span of years; the Antardasha inside it sets the shorter sub-theme. Astrologers time events by reading the dasha lord's placement in your chart.
Yogas. A yoga is a specific combination of planets, houses or lords. Some are auspicious (such as Gaja Kesari or Raja Yoga), some are challenging (such as Kemadruma or Guru Chandal). A yoga describes a tendency. How strongly it shows depends on the dignity of the planets involved and on when its planets run their dashas.
Manglik. Mangal Dosha is traditionally checked from three points: Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna, the Moon or Venus. Classical texts also list cancellations. Our check applies the widely agreed ones: Mars in its own sign or exaltation (Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn), Mars conjunct or aspected by Jupiter, and the standard house and sign exemptions. Your result says which references carry the dosha and which cancellation, if any, applies.
Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the astronomical library used by professional astrology software. The zodiac is sidereal with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard for Indian Jyotish and the one used in Indian government panchangs. Houses are whole-sign houses from the Lagna, Rahu and Ketu use the mean node, and divisional charts follow the classical Parashara rules. The yogas and the Manglik verdict are computed by fixed rules from these positions. No AI guesses or counts houses anywhere in your chart.
The Lagna moves through all 12 signs in a day, so it changes roughly every two hours (faster or slower depending on the sign and your latitude). A wrong birth time can shift your Lagna, every house and your Navamsa. The Moon moves more slowly, about one nakshatra a day, so your Rashi and Nakshatra are usually right even with an approximate time, unless the Moon changed sign or nakshatra that day. If you do not know your time, the form suggests 6:00 AM; read the Lagna and houses as uncertain in that case.
The free Kundli gives you the facts of your chart. If you want them interpreted, a free account saves your chart so it is there whenever you come back, and adds daily guidance read from your chart and free questions to our AI astrologer. Our paid PDF reports go deeper on one area of life (marriage, career, wealth or the year ahead), each written from your own placements and dasha dates.
Yes. The whole chart on this page, including the Navamsa, dasha periods, yogas and Manglik check, is free and needs no signup. A free account is only needed if you want to save the chart. Detailed PDF reports are optional and paid.
Your date of birth, your time of birth and your place of birth. The place gives the latitude and longitude, and the timezone converts your local birth time to universal time. All three change the chart, the time most of all.
You can still make the chart. The form suggests 6:00 AM if you are unsure. Your Moon sign and Nakshatra are usually still correct, but the Lagna, the houses, the Navamsa and the exact dasha dates may be off, so treat those as approximate.
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa on the sidereal zodiac, whole-sign houses counted from the Lagna, and the mean node for Rahu and Ketu. Planet positions are computed with the Swiss Ephemeris.
Your Rashi is the sign of the Moon in the sidereal zodiac. The zodiac sign most people know from magazines is the Sun sign in the tropical zodiac. They use a different planet and a different zodiac (about 24 degrees apart today), so they often differ.
After you enter your birth details, the Manglik card shows whether Mars falls in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from your Lagna, Moon or Venus, and whether a classical cancellation applies (Mars in its own or exalted sign, Jupiter's conjunction or aspect, or a standard house and sign exemption). Traditions differ on these rules, so for marriage a full matching of both charts matters more than one verdict.
The chart is drawn in the North Indian (diamond) style, where houses stay fixed and signs move. A South Indian chart shows the same planets in the same signs with the signs in fixed places. The planet table lists every position, so you can read it in either style.
