Free Janam Kundali & Vedic Birth Chart Calculator

This free Vedic birth chart calculator generates a Janam Kundli from your birth date, time, and place. It calculates your lagna, planetary placements, divisional charts, and Vimshottari dasha timeline using Lahiri ayanamsa. Use the chart for learning and self-reflection, not as a fixed prediction of your fate. No login is required.

See your lagna, D1 Rasi chart, Navamsa, divisional charts, dasha timelines, yogas, and interpretation notes computed instantly by the Soul Yatri astrology engine.

True node vs Mean node — which should I pick?

Rahu and Ketu (the lunar nodes) can be calculated two ways. They differ by up to ~1.6°, which is why two software sometimes place Rahu/Ketu in a different degree, sign, or divisional chart. Pick the one your astrologer or almanac uses.

True node (Sayana/Spashta) — default

  • The actual, instantaneous position of the nodes (accounts for the Moon’s real motion).
  • Astronomically accurate; matches SoulYatri, Jagannatha Hora, and drik / observational panchang.
  • Best for precise transit and divisional (D10, D9…) work.
  • Trade-off: it can wobble slightly and briefly appear direct.

Mean node (Madhya)

  • The smoothed, averaged node position; always retrograde with uniform motion.
  • Matches many traditional panchangs/almanacs and older Indian software (e.g. AstroSage default).
  • Steady and predictable — no oscillation.
  • Trade-off: up to ~1.6° away from the true astronomical position.

Tip: comparing with SoulYatri or DrikPanchang → choose True node. Comparing with a traditional almanac or AstroSage default → choose Mean node.

What your free janam kundali includes

Lagna and D1 Rasi chart

Your ascendant and all nine grahas placed by actual ecliptic longitude, drawn in both North and South Indian chart styles.

Navamsa and divisional charts

The D9 read alongside the D1, plus the other divisional charts astrologers use to judge a planet's deeper strength.

Vimshottari dasha timeline

Your full mahadasha sequence with real start and end dates, and the antardashas inside the running period — the timing layer of a Vedic reading.

Yogas and honest notes

Detected yogas with plain-language notes on what they classically indicate — and what they do not. No fear-selling, no upsell disguised as a dosha.

Every value is computed at the moment you submit, from the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa — the sidereal standard of the Indian national calendar. If another site shows a slightly different lagna or nakshatra, the ayanamsa is almost always why; ours is stated so the difference is checkable rather than mysterious.

Once you have the chart: learn to read a kundali step by step, check today's sky against your rashi in the daily horoscope, see when the slow planets change signs in the gochar transit calendar, or compare two charts with the 36-guna Kundali Milan.

A sample kundali, computed live

This is a real chart from the same engine your kundali will use — noon at Ujjain on 1 January 2000, a public reference moment that is nobody's birth data. Lagna: Pisces at 10.9 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

What is a kundali?
A kundali (also called a janam kundali or birth chart) is a map of the sky at your exact moment and place of birth. In Vedic astrology it shows the ascendant (lagna) and the positions of the grahas across the twelve signs.
What birth details do I need?
You need your date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth (with latitude, longitude, and timezone). The more accurate your birth time, the more accurate your ascendant and placements.
Is my birth data saved?
Your kundali is generated instantly without saving anything. We only store your details if you tick the consent box so a Soul Yatri astrologer can follow up — and when stored, your birth date, time, and place are kept encrypted.
How is the kundali calculated?
From the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa — the sidereal standard used by the Indian national calendar. Your birth instant and coordinates fix the lagna, then each graha is placed by its actual ecliptic longitude. Nothing is looked up from precomputed tables.
What is the difference between the D1 chart and the Navamsa?
The D1 (Rasi) chart is the main birth chart — the sky divided into twelve signs. The Navamsa (D9) divides each sign into nine parts and is read for marriage and the deeper strength of planets. A planet weak in D1 but strong in D9 is treated very differently from one weak in both.
Can I make a kundali without knowing my exact birth time?
Partially. The date fixes the slower planets, but the lagna changes about every two hours and the Moon can change nakshatra within a day, so without a time the houses and dashas are unreliable. Check a birth certificate or hospital record first; even narrowing to a few hours helps.
What are dashas, and does this calculator show them?
Vimshottari dasha is a 120-year planetary period cycle read from the Moon nakshatra at birth — it is how Vedic astrology talks about timing. Yes: the result includes your full mahadasha timeline with start and end dates, and the antardashas within the running period.
Is a kundali the same as a horoscope?
The words get mixed, but in practice a kundali is the birth chart itself — fixed at birth — while a daily or weekly horoscope is a reading of the CURRENT sky against your rashi. The kundali is generated once; horoscopes change with the transits.
