Free Kundli — Vedic Birth Chart

A Kundli is your Vedic birth chart: the position of every planet at the moment and place you were born, arranged into twelve houses. Enter your date, time and place of birth to generate one free — no account needed.

You get the Lagna (ascendant), the Moon sign and nakshatra with its pada, all nine planetary placements with sign, house, degree and dignity, your divisional charts, and the Vimshottari dasha periods running now and next.

Why birth time matters so much

The ascendant moves through a full sign roughly every two hours, and it is the ascendant that fixes where every house boundary falls. Change the birth time by three hours and the planets stay in the same signs but land in entirely different houses — which changes what the chart says about career, marriage and family, even though not one planet has moved.

If your birth time is unknown or uncertain, the chart is still worth generating. Planetary signs, the Moon sign and nakshatra, and the whole dasha sequence remain valid and carry a great deal. What you should not rely on is the ascendant, the house placements, or the navamsa. A reading that gives you confident house-based predictions from an unknown birth time is inventing them.

Vedic and Western charts are not the same chart

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, measured against the fixed stars. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, measured from the spring equinox. Because of the slow wobble of the Earth’s axis the two have drifted roughly twenty-four degrees apart, which is why your Vedic Sun sign is usually the one before your Western Sun sign. Neither is a mistake; they are different reference frames, and mixing them produces nonsense.

What to look at first

• The Lagna — how you meet the world, and the frame every house is measured from.
• The Moon — its sign and nakshatra, which carry the emotional and instinctive register. In Vedic practice the Moon usually matters more than the Sun.
• The current dasha — which planetary period is running. This is what decides timing, and it is the part most people skip straight past.
• Planetary dignity — whether each planet sits in its own sign, exalted or debilitated, which changes how freely it can act.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to generate a Kundli?

Your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. The date alone gives planetary positions, but the time is what fixes the ascendant and therefore the entire house structure, and the place sets the local horizon used to calculate it.

What if I do not know my exact birth time?

You can still read a great deal. Planetary signs, the Moon sign and nakshatra, and the dasha sequence all remain valid. What you cannot rely on is the ascendant, the houses, or any divisional chart such as the navamsa — because the ascendant moves through a full sign roughly every two hours.

What is the difference between a Vedic and a Western chart?

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, measured against the fixed stars, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, measured from the equinox. The two have drifted about twenty-four degrees apart, which is why your Vedic Sun sign is often the one before your Western one.

What is a dasha?

A planetary period. The Vimshottari system divides life into major periods ruled by each of the nine planets, subdivided again into antardashas. Which planet is running, and how it sits in your chart, is usually what decides the timing of anything a reading predicts.

Is the Lagna the same as my Sun sign?

No. The Lagna, or ascendant, is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth and it changes roughly every two hours. Your Sun sign changes about once a month. In Vedic practice the Lagna is generally the more important of the two.
