Question 1

What is a Kundli (Birth Chart)?

Accepted Answer

A Kundli, also called Janam Kundali or birth chart, is a Vedic astrology map of planetary positions at the exact time and place of your birth. It shows 12 houses (bhavas) and 9 planets (navagrahas), revealing your personality, destiny, career, health, and relationships.

What information is needed to generate a Kundli?

Accepted Answer

To generate an accurate Kundli, you need: (1) Full name, (2) Date of birth (day, month, year), (3) Time of birth (as accurate as possible), and (4) Place of birth (city and country). The birth time is crucial for calculating the Ascendant (Lagna) and correct house positions.

The Ascendant or Lagna is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the time of your birth. It forms the first house of your chart and strongly influences your physical appearance, personality, and the overall structure of your horoscope.
