Free Kundli Online (Janam Kundli) by Date of Birth
Your kundli is your Vedic birth chart: where the Sun, the Moon and the other seven grahas stood across the twelve houses at the moment you were born, which is why it needs your date, time and place of birth. Enter yours below to see your kundli free.
You get the chart with every planet's sign, house and nakshatra, the divisional charts (Navamsa, Dasamsa and more), your Vimshottari dasha periods with their dates, and where the planets are transiting your chart right now.
What Your Free Kundli Chart Shows
A kundli — your Janam Kundli or Vedic birth chart — is a map of the sky at the exact moment you were born. This free tool computes it with the same calculation behind our paid reports, on the sidereal zodiac that Vedic astrology uses.
You get your Lagna (ascendant) — the sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth, which shapes your body, temperament and the layout of all twelve houses — and all nine grahas placed by sign, house and nakshatra: Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. The Current Transits (gochar) tab then overlays today's sky on your chart, so you can see which houses the planets are activating for you right now.
How to Read Your Kundli Chart (Kundli Kaise Dekhe)
Start with three placements. First, your Lagna — it is the lens the whole chart is read through. Second, your Moon sign (Rashi) and its nakshatra — in Jyotish the Moon is the mind, and its nakshatra sets your Vimshottari dasha clock. Third, your Sun sign — and do not be surprised if it differs from your “newspaper” sign; the sidereal zodiac sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical one, which shifts most people's Sun back a sign.
Reading the North Indian chart
The chart above is drawn in the North Indian style, the diamond most families in the north and west of India know from their own janam kundli. In this style the houses never move. The diamond at the top centre is always the 1st house, the Lagna, and the houses run anticlockwise from it: the 2nd is the triangle to its upper left, the 4th is the diamond on the left, the 7th is at the bottom centre and the 10th is the diamond on the right.
The small number in each house is the sign, not the house. Aries is 1, Taurus 2, and so on to Pisces at 12, so a 5 in the top diamond means a Leo Lagna. The planets are written as two letters: Su, Mo, Ma, Me, Ju, Ve, Sa, Ra and Ke for the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. A ℞ after a planet means it was retrograde at your birth. Rahu and Ketu always sit seven houses apart, facing each other across the chart.
A South Indian chart holds the same information laid out the other way round. The signs are fixed in a square, Pisces in the top-left box and Aries next to it, running clockwise, and the Lagna is marked in whichever box it falls with a diagonal line or “Asc”. If an older family kundli is drawn this way, count the houses from that marked box.
What the 12 houses mean (kundli ke bhav)
- 1st house: you: body, health, temperament, how you meet the world
- 2nd house: wealth, savings, family, speech, food
- 3rd house: courage, effort, younger siblings, short journeys, communication
- 4th house: mother, home, land and property, vehicles, peace of mind
- 5th house: children, intelligence, education, merit from past lives, speculation
- 6th house: enemies, illness, debts, competition, service
- 7th house: marriage, the spouse, business partners
- 8th house: longevity, sudden events, inheritance, hidden matters
- 9th house: father, fortune, dharma, teachers, long journeys
- 10th house: career, status, authority, the work you are known for
- 11th house: income, gains, elder siblings, wishes fulfilled
- 12th house: expenses, losses, foreign lands, sleep, liberation
A planet in a house colours that part of life, and a crowded house gets more of your attention: a full 10th pulls life towards career, planets in the 7th put relationships at the centre. Empty houses are not dead ones. Every house has a lord, the planet that rules the sign in it, and where that lord sits tells you where the house's matters play out. Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Venus rules Taurus and Libra, Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, the Moon rules Cancer, the Sun rules Leo, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces, and Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius. With a Leo Lagna, for example, the 10th house holds Taurus, so Venus is the 10th lord and its house shows where your career draws its strength.
Lagna kundli and Chandra kundli
The Lagna kundli is the main chart, the one shown above. A Chandra kundli is the same sky redrawn with the Moon's sign as the 1st house. It is read for the mind and emotional life, and it is the chart transits are traditionally counted from: Sade Sati and most gochar results are judged by a planet's house from your Moon. A promise that shows up in both charts is held to be firm. To see your Chandra kundli here, find Mo in the chart and count that house as the 1st.
How to read the Navamsa (navmansh kundli kaise dekhe)
The Navamsa, or D9, divides each sign into nine parts of 3°20' and redraws the chart from them. It is read for two things. The first is marriage and the spouse, from the Navamsa's 7th house and its lord. The second is the real strength of each planet: one that looks strong in the birth chart but falls weak in the Navamsa delivers less than it promises, and one that sits in the same sign in both, called vargottama, is counted strong. You will find the Navamsa under the divisional charts in your results, beside the Dasamsa (D10), which is read the same way for career. The Navamsa chart calculator sets your D9 beside your birth chart and marks the vargottama planets for you.
Then check your dasha
The chart says what is promised; the dasha says when. Whichever planet's mahadasha you are running, its houses and the houses it rules are the parts of life that are active now. The Dasha tab gives your periods with exact dates, and the dasha calculator shows what each running planet touches in your chart, with every antardasha. For marriage, our marriage prediction guide walks through how the 7th house, Venus, the Navamsa and the dasha are put together.
That is how an astrologer starts. Weighing it all for one chart, with the yogas, the doshas and each planet's strength, is what the detailed report does; the sample report shows the result. For the grammar of signs and nakshatras in plain language, see our beginner's guide to Vedic astrology.
Why Exact Birth Time Matters
The ascendant moves through a full sign roughly every two hours, so two people born the same day in the same city — but two hours apart — have structurally different charts: different Lagna, different house lords, different life architecture. Minutes matter at sign boundaries. If your recorded time is an estimate, treat the house placements as approximate and the planet-in-sign and nakshatra positions (which move slowly) as reliable.
What Are Current Transits (Gochar)?
Your birth chart is a photograph; the sky kept moving. Gochar is the practice of reading today's planetary positions against your natal chart — Saturn crossing your Moon (the famous Sade Sati), Jupiter blessing your 5th house, Rahu stirring your 10th. The transit tab shows each planet's current house from your Lagna and when it next changes signs.

Free Kundli vs. the Full Report
This tool gives you the calculations — the birth chart, five divisional charts (Navamsa, Dasamsa, Saptamsa, Dwadasamsa, Drekkana), your full Vimshottari dasha timeline and today's transits — accurately and honestly free. What it does not do is interpretation: weighing each planet's dignity and aspects, reading the houses through their lords, weighing Mangal dosha, Gandanta and an eclipse birth, timing the promises against your dasha periods, and judging which yogas actually operate in your chart. That is composed work, done chart by chart.
The personalized Kundli report reads all nine planets and twelve houses in depth, the divisional charts together with the birth chart, every dosha and yoga present, your dasha periods with a 12-month forecast, Sade Sati, Varshaphala, and remedies specific to your chart. Checking marriage compatibility instead? Try the free Kundli Matching (Gun Milan) tool. One dosha you can check for free on its own: the Kaal Sarp Dosh check tells you whether all seven planets sit on one side of your Rahu–Ketu axis, and which of the twelve types it is.

The chart is worked out on the spot: your ascendant, the nine planets with their signs, houses and nakshatras, the divisional charts, your dasha periods with dates, and where the planets are moving through your chart today. Nothing to sign up for or download.
How do I read my kundli chart?
In a North Indian chart the top-centre diamond is the 1st house, your Lagna, and the houses run anticlockwise from it. The number in each house is the sign (1 Aries to 12 Pisces), and the planets are written as two letters, Su, Mo, Ma and so on. Start with the Lagna, the Moon sign and its nakshatra, then look at which houses hold planets and where each house lord sits, and finally at the dasha you are running.
What is the difference between Lagna kundli and Chandra kundli?
The Lagna kundli takes the rising sign at your birth as the 1st house and is the main chart. The Chandra kundli takes the Moon's sign as the 1st house instead. It is read for the mind and emotions, and transits such as Sade Sati are counted from it. A result that shows in both charts is considered firm.
Can I get a free kundli prediction or analysis?
Partly. The free kundli shows your chart and, under it, the areas of life your current dasha period touches, read from where its lords sit and which houses they rule. A written prediction, what each planet and house means for you, when marriage or a career change is likely, and the year ahead month by month, is what the detailed report covers. The sample report shows exactly what that looks like.
Can I make a kundli without my birth time?
You can, with limits. The planets' signs barely change in a day, so most of the chart holds, but the Moon moves about thirteen degrees a day and can change nakshatra, which shifts your dasha dates. The ascendant changes every two hours or so, and the houses with it, so without a time nothing that depends on houses can be trusted. If you only know a part of the day, enter its middle and treat the house readings as provisional.
What details do I need to generate my kundli?
Three things: date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Time matters most — the ascendant changes roughly every two hours, and it decides your entire house layout. If you are unsure of your birth time, check a hospital record or ask family; even 15–20 minutes can change the reading.
Which calculation system does this kundli use?
The sidereal zodiac, the one classical Vedic astrology has always used, calculated from precise astronomical positions. It is the same calculation behind our paid reports. This is why your Sun sign here may differ from your Western (tropical) sun sign.
What is my nakshatra and why does it matter?
Your nakshatra is the lunar mansion your Moon occupied at birth — one of 27 divisions of the zodiac, each with its own deity and temperament. It sets your emotional nature and, crucially, the starting point of your Vimshottari dasha timeline. Your free kundli shows the nakshatra of every planet, including the Moon.
When will I get married, according to my kundli?
Marriage is read from the 7th house, its lord, and Venus, the significator of marriage, with the Navamsa (D9) to confirm. For timing, astrologers look to the dasha periods of the 7th lord, of Venus, of planets in the 7th, and of Rahu, and to Jupiter's movement over the 7th house or its lord. Your free kundli shows your 7th house, your Navamsa and your dasha timeline. Our marriage prediction guide explains each factor, and the detailed report reads them together for your chart.
What is my current mahadasha, and what does it mean?
The Dasha tab of your free kundli shows your current mahadasha, antardasha and pratyantardasha with exact dates, worked out from the nakshatra your Moon was in at birth. What a period means depends on where its lord sits in your chart and which houses it rules, and the box under your chart lists the parts of life your current period touches. What it brings to each of them is in the personalized report.
Can I check Sade Sati with this tool?
The Current Transits tab shows where Saturn is right now relative to your chart, which tells you whether it is near your natal Moon. For the full Sade Sati analysis — exact phase, dates, intensity and remedies for your chart — that is part of the personalized report.
