Kundli Matching by Date of Birth

Match two horoscopes using date, time, and place of birth. The calculator derives each Moon nakshatra and rashi and computes a traditional 36-guna Ashtakoot score.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I match kundli with only date of birth?
Birth time and place can change the calculated Moon nakshatra used for Gun Milan. If the time is unknown, treat any date-based result as uncertain and do not use it for a consequential decision.
Why is birth time needed?
The Moon moves quickly, so the supplied birth time and place affect the calculated nakshatra and rashi used for the eight kootas.
Is it free?
