See where the Sun, the Moon and the planets stood when you were born, in their signs, houses and nakshatras (the 27 star groups the Moon passes through). Draw it as a wheel, or as a North or South Indian chart.
Draw my chartVedic astrology gives each stretch of your life to one planet. Find out which period you are in now, and the date the next one starts.
Find my dashaEvery dasha, every Sade Sati (the seven and a half years Saturn spends near your Moon sign) and your Saturn return, placed on one timeline. Add your own dates to see where they fall.

These pages follow today’s date. Where it matters, add your city, because sunrise and sunset change from place to place.

Read the guideOften, yes. Western astrology counts the signs from the seasons. Vedic astrology counts them from the stars, and the two counts have drifted about 24 degrees apart, nearly one whole sign. So for many people the Sun sign moves back one.


Born on 5 April? Western astrology says Aries. Vedic astrology says Pisces.

Vedic astrology, also called Jyotish, is the astrology of India. It reads your birth chart (kundli), a map of where the Sun, the Moon and the planets stood when you were born. It counts the signs from the stars, and it uses things Western astrology mostly leaves out: your nakshatra (birth star), your dasha periods and the navamsa chart, a second chart read for marriage.
Two main ways. First, the zodiac: Western astrology counts the signs from the seasons and Vedic astrology counts them from the stars, so for many people the Sun sign moves back one. Second, the focus: popular Western astrology leans on the Sun sign, while Vedic astrology leans on the Moon sign, the rising sign (lagna) and the dasha periods, which give dated windows.
It depends on the tool. Many work with your date and place alone. Your rising sign and your houses need the exact time, because the rising sign changes about every two hours. Dasha dates can move by a few months if the time is an hour out. When a few minutes would change an answer, we show both.
We show dated windows, not promises. Your dasha periods, Sade Sati and Saturn return all come with start and end dates, worked out from your own chart and worded as tendencies. Nothing here tells you what will happen, and we never use fear.
Add your date, time and place of birth. Your four chapters show on the page.
