What your kundli shows
A Vedic birth chart is read from the moment of your first breath. AskVeda locates every graha (planet) in the sidereal zodiac and places it in one of twelve bhavas (houses), each governing an area of life:
- Lagna (ascendant) — the sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth. It sets the whole chart and shapes your temperament and body.
- Rashi (moon sign) — where the Moon sat. In Vedic astrology your rashi, not your Sun sign, is the heart of your emotional nature.
- Nakshatra (birth star) — one of 27 lunar mansions the Moon occupies, adding a finer layer of personality and dasha timing.
- The nine grahas — Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu, each with its sign, degree and aspects.
- The twelve houses — self, wealth, courage, home, creativity, health, partnership, transformation, fortune, career, gains and release.
How AskVeda calculates your chart
Accuracy comes from the engine. AskVeda uses the Swiss Ephemeris for planetary positions and the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa for the sidereal correction — the same standard professional Jyotish practitioners use — with whole-sign houses. That means your lagna, nakshatra padas, planetary degrees, retrogrades and dignities are astronomically precise, not rounded approximations. It is the identical engine behind the AskVeda app, so the chart you cast here is the chart you keep.
Free kundli — frequently asked questions
What is a kundli?
A kundli (janam kundali) is your Vedic birth chart — a map of where the Sun, Moon, planets and lunar nodes sat in the zodiac at the exact moment and place you were born. It is the foundation of every Vedic astrology reading, showing your lagna (ascendant), rashi (moon sign), nakshatra (birth star) and the twelve houses of life.
Is the AskVeda kundli really free?
Yes. Casting your birth chart and viewing your lagna, rashi, nakshatra, planetary placements and houses is completely free and needs no sign-in. You only create an account if you want to ask AskVeda questions about your chart or save it across devices.
How accurate is the chart?
AskVeda computes your chart with the Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the same sidereal standard used by professional Vedic astrologers — so planetary longitudes, nakshatras and house cusps are astronomically precise. It is the exact engine that powers the AskVeda app.
What if I don't know my exact birth time?
Birth time sets your lagna (ascendant), so closer is better. If you are unsure, tick "time unknown" and the chart defaults to sunrise (06:00) — your moon sign, nakshatra and planetary signs stay accurate; only the ascendant and house positions become approximate.
North Indian or South Indian chart — which should I choose?
Both show the same chart, drawn differently. The South Indian chart uses a fixed square grid with signs in fixed positions; the North Indian chart uses a diamond where the houses are fixed and the signs rotate with your lagna. Pick whichever you grew up reading — you can switch between them instantly. Read the full comparison →
