Vedic birth chart · Jyotish
Vedic astrology measures the sky against the stars themselves. Enter your birth details to see your square chart take shape, in motion.
How it works · 01
Your date, your exact time and your birthplace fix one moment in one place. We find the time zone that was in force there on that day, so the sky is read from exactly where you arrived.
02 · The grahas
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, with Rahu and Ketu, the Moon’s nodes, settle into the twelve rashis of the sidereal zodiac, measured from the fixed stars. The rashi rising at your birth becomes your first house.
03 · Your chart
The same circle of twelve, folded into the square North Indian chart. Your Lagna is the first house at the top; the others follow counter-clockwise, one sign to a house, each graha in its place.
A sample chart, shown schematically: sizes and distances are not to scale.
Create my chartWestern astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which begins each year at the spring equinox. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, measured from the fixed stars. Over the centuries the two have drifted about 24° apart.
That is why many planets, often the Sun as well, fall one sign earlier in a Vedic chart. Neither chart is wrong. They are two traditions with different starting points, and each is read in its own way.
This chart uses the Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, the mean lunar node for Rahu and Ketu, and the Vimshottari period system, the most widely used choices in Jyotish.
Method and trust
Calculation and meaning are kept apart, and every choice behind your chart is named.
01
The Lagna changes about every two hours and the Navamsa about every thirteen minutes. We ask for your exact time before calculating, and we never invent a missing one.
02
AstrologyAPI calculates the positions; we check every value against the planets’ longitudes and keep one chart that the free and complete readings share. Unlocking never calculates it again.
03
The sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, the mean node for Rahu and Ketu, and the Vimshottari periods: the most widely used choices in Jyotish.
04
Every passage of your reading comes from texts we wrote for this tradition, not from AI. It looks ahead with care and is offered for spiritual guidance, not professional advice.
The sky the Moon travels through is divided into 27 lunar mansions, the nakshatras, each with its own deity and symbol. The one the Moon occupied when you were born, your janma nakshatra, is one of the most personal parts of a Vedic reading.
The Vimshottari system divides life into periods ruled by the nine grahas, from 6 to 20 years long, each with shorter sub-periods inside it. Your chart shows which period you are living in now and when it changes.
This is the North Indian style. The twelve houses stay in fixed places, with the first house at the top centre, and the number in each house is its sign (1 is Aries, 12 is Pisces). The table under the chart lists the same placements in words.

No. It is a separate reading in a different tradition. You can have both, and they are not meant to be blended into one.
