Kundli, explained.
A kundli is a map of where every planet sat in the zodiac the second you took your first breath. That's it. The depth is in how you read it.
The chart is a snapshot, not a prediction.
Vedic astrology starts from one observation: the sky at the moment of your birth was a specific configuration, and that configuration is the angle from which you see everything that comes after. Your kundli is the diagram of that sky. Twelve houses for twelve domains of life. Nine planets (the Navagraha) sitting in those houses. Twelve signs rotating through the houses depending on which sign was rising in the east — your Lagna.
Why the Moon matters more than the Sun.
Western astrology asks for your Sun sign. Vedic asks for your Moon sign — your Rashi — because Indian tradition reads the Moon as the part of you that runs your day. The Moon is fast (one sign every ~2.5 days), so two people born the same day in different states can have different Moons. That's the level of resolution Vedic works at.
Sidereal vs tropical: the 24° question.
Western horoscopes use a tropical zodiac fixed to the seasons. Vedic uses a sidereal zodiac fixed to the actual constellations. The two are about 24° apart — which is why your Western Sun sign and your Vedic Sun sign are usually different. We use the Lahiri ayanamsa, the Indian government standard, to make the conversion.
What you'll actually see when we draw your chart.
Four headline data points: your Lagna (the sign rising), your Rashi (where the Moon was), your Sun sign, and the nakshatra of your Moon. Below those, every planet in its sign and house, current Dasha (life phase), and dosha flags (Manglik, Sade Sati). The Guided view explains each piece in plain English; the Pro view adds the technical columns.
