What is kundali (janma kundli)?

Kundali (janma kundli) is a Vedic birth chart showing the positions of nine grahas (planets) at your exact birth moment. Computed using Sūrya-Siddhānta mathematics, it displays your lagna (ascendant), house placements, and daśā (time periods) — the structural map of your Vedic identity.

How accurate is the Bharat Ephemeris kundali calculator?

Bharat Ephemeris publishes open positional error bars against NASA/JPL Horizons. In the current checked-in 2000–2050 bench, Sūrya is 7.8 arcseconds p95 and Candra is 30.3 arcseconds p95. Benchmarking validates calculation accuracy, not astrological prediction outcomes.

Is a free kundali accurate?

Yes. The free Bharat Ephemeris kundali uses the same computation path as the paid surfaces. Free means no payment barrier; the chart remains a calculated structure with open error bars, not a promise of outcome certainty.

What do the 12 houses in a kundali mean?

The 12 houses represent traditional life domains: 1 (self), 2 (resources), 3 (siblings/effort), 4 (home), 5 (children/creativity), 6 (health/service), 7 (partnership), 8 (transformation/longevity tradition), 9 (dharma), 10 (work), 11 (gains), 12 (release/liberation). Interpretations remain traditional guidance, not binding legal, medical or finance advice.

How do I read my vedic birth chart?

Start with your lagna (ascendant), then locate each graha and its house. Identify your janma nakṣatra (Moon's birth lunar mansion). Check your daśā table for current periods. Study the chart's overall structure — conjunctions, aspects, empty houses. Learn more in our complete kundali guide.

What is the Lahiri ayanāṃśa?

The Lahiri ayanāṃśa (Chitra-pakṣa) is the Indian government standard for the precession of the equinoxes in Vedic astrology. It defines the offset between the tropical zodiac (Western) and the sidereal zodiac (Vedic). Bharat Ephemeris uses Lahiri exclusively — it is the canonical Indian ayanāṃśa.

Does Bharat Ephemeris provide predictions or remedies?

Bharat Ephemeris is a computation instrument — it delivers calculated chart positions and traditional data tables (pañcāṅga, daśā, varga, yogas, sahams). We do not sell fear, forced remedies or fake certainty. Human interpretation, where offered through Lunar Luxury, is framed as cited spiritual/Jyotish guidance only.

How do I read a kundli (Vedic birth chart)?

A kundli shows the position of nine grahas at your birth moment, computed from the Bharat Ephemeris calculation layer. Read it by examining your lagna (rising sign), each graha's rāśi and nakṣatra placement, and the Vimśottarī daśā sequence. The chart gives structure — not predictions.

What is lagna in a kundli?

Lagna (ascendant) is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at your exact birth moment and place. It anchors the first house and orients all 12 houses of your chart. An accurate birth time is essential for a correct lagna — even 15 minutes difference can change it.

What is janma nakshatra in a birth chart?

Janma nakṣatra is the specific lunar mansion (one of 27, each spanning 13°20′) where the Moon was positioned at birth. It seeds your Vimśottarī daśā sequence and is a key structural coordinate. Our engine computes it from Moon longitude and publishes benchmark receipts against JPL Horizons.

What is a dasha period and how is it shown in the kundli?

Daśā periods are the time cycles of the Vimśottarī system (BPHS Ch. 46), seeded from the Moon's birth nakṣatra. The 120-year cycle divides into nine mahā-daśā periods, each sub-divided into nine antar-daśā sub-periods. The chart output shows your current mahā-daśā and antar-daśā balance.
