Birth chart (Kundli)

Enter the date, time and place of birth. You get the Lagna (ascendant) and the nine grahas with their sign, degree, nakshatra, house and retrograde status. Houses are whole-sign, and the ayanamsa is your choice.

How to read it

Lagna is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth. It sets house 1. In whole-sign houses, each following sign is the next house, so a planet's house is counted from the Lagna's sign.

Retrograde (R) means the planet appears to move backward against the stars. Sun and Moon never retrograde.

Yogas are combinations named in classical texts. The tool checks nine standard ones: Gajakesari, Budhaditya, Chandra-Mangala, the five Pancha Mahapurusha yogas and Kemadruma. Each rule is shown with the result, so you can see why it was or was not met.

To understand each graha, read the glossary. Detailed graha and house guides are coming soon.

Accuracy

Birth time matters most. The Lagna changes about every two hours, so a few minutes' error can move a planet near a sign boundary into the next house. If you do not know the exact time, the chart will be less reliable and you should say so when using it.

Rahu and Ketu are the mean nodes. Some schools use the true node, which differs by up to about 1.5°. The method page lists every formula.
