Janam Kundli: Your Vedic Birth Chart Explained
A Janam Kundli (also called a birth chart or janam patrika) is a snapshot of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. In Vedic astrology it is the foundation of every prediction — personality, career, marriage, wealth, health and the timing of life events.

What is a Janam Kundli?
A Janam Kundli maps the positions of the nine planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu) across the twelve houses and twelve signs, as seen from your birthplace at your birth time. Unlike a sun-sign horoscope, it is unique to you.
The key parts of a Kundli
Lagna (Ascendant): the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth — the anchor of the whole chart and the 1st house.
Rashi (Moon sign): the sign your Moon occupies — central to Vedic astrology and to your emotional nature.
Nakshatra: the lunar mansion (birth star) the Moon sits in, with its four padas.
Houses & planets: the twelve houses cover areas of life; the planets in them (and their lords) drive the predictions.
Vimshottari Dasha: the planetary time-periods that reveal when events are likely.
