What Is a Kundli?
A kundli records where the planets were at a particular birth moment and how those positions relate to the local horizon. In Vedic astrology, this is the starting point for interpreting the ascendant, houses, Moon sign and planetary periods. It is also called a janam kundli, janam kundali or janampatri. The kundli and its interpretation are different things. The placements are calculated from the birth details; their meaning is read within an astrological tradition. A general horoscope addresses a whole sign, while a birth chart uses an individual date, time and location. AI astrology should use those same checked inputs before offering a personal explanation.
What Your Free Kundali Includes
The free astrology calculation gives you the chart and its calculated details. Start with the main kundli and planetary positions, then explore the birth star, divisional charts and timing periods. The terms below explain what each part is for, so you can choose where to begin before asking AI astrology to explain a placement.
| Chart detail | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Kundli and planetary positions | See the ascendant, houses and planets, with their signs and degrees. |
| Rashi and nakshatra | Find the Moon's sign and birth star in your kundli, including its pada. |
| Divisional charts | Explore the navamsa alongside your main kundli; each division serves a different purpose. |
| Dasha periods | Follow the Vimshottari sequence of planetary periods and sub-periods calculated for your kundli. |
| Yogas and doshas | Inspect the named combinations and conditions formed by the placements in your kundli. |
| Birth panchang | Check the tithi, weekday, nakshatra, yoga and karana at the birth moment used for your kundli. |
The free astrology chart does not mean that every personalised reading is free. Readings and AI astrology answers can use credits, with their cost shown in the relevant feature.
How to Create Your Online Kundali
Create your online kundali by entering the birth date, recorded local birth time and city in the form above. Selecting a city supplies its coordinates and helps resolve the timezone. Confirm the details before generating, particularly AM or PM and the city, state and country when several places share a name. Correct inputs matter for both an astrologer's reading and AI astrology.
- Enter the birth details. Choose the day, month and year, then the hour, minute and AM or PM.
- Select the birthplace. Pick the correct city from the suggestions and check the resulting location and time details.
- Generate and review. Select Generate Kundali, then check the chart's birth details before reading the placements.
How to Read Your Kundli
In your kundli, begin with the ascendant, also called lagna, which sets the frame for the houses. Next locate the Moon and its rashi and nakshatra. Then look at the planet signs and degrees before exploring the dasha timeline. This sequence separates the chart's basic kundli placements from the interpretation of combinations and periods. With AI astrology, ask which of these placements supports each explanation.
Worked example: a sign and a house are different
Suppose an example kundli has Aries as its ascendant and the Moon in Taurus. In a whole-sign reading, Aries is the first house and Taurus is the second. Taurus is therefore the Moon's sign, while the second house is its house placement in that example. This illustrates how to read the labels; it is not a calculated result for a real person's birth details. A different house system can assign house boundaries differently, so check the system before comparing interpretations.
You can use the rashi guide to understand sign names and the nakshatra finder to explore the birth star. For a relationship comparison, use kundli matching with both people's birth details.
AI Astrology and Your AI Kundali Reading
AI astrology uses the calculated kundli as context for an AI kundali reading about its placements and interpretation. Ask your chart provides a conversation about the selected person's kundli. It is an AI service rather than a live human consultation, and questions can use credits from your account. Use AI astrology to explore the chart's terminology before deciding what needs a fuller discussion.
Start with a specific question such as "What does my Moon placement mean?" or "Which dasha period is running, and how is it interpreted?" Ask which placements support the answer and what depends on your birth-time accuracy. AI astrology can contain mistakes, and an astrological interpretation should not be treated as a guaranteed outcome. When an AI astrology answer mentions a dasha or house, compare it with the displayed kundli rather than accepting an unexplained prediction.
When to choose AI astrology or a human consultation
AI astrology is useful for a focused question about a kundli label or timing period. A human consultation gives you a conversation about your circumstances and room for follow-up. If AI astrology gives conflicting answers, save the question and check the underlying placements before seeking clarification from an astrologer.

How Your Kundli Is Calculated
We calculate your kundli from the birth moment and birthplace using a chart engine backed by Swiss Ephemeris. The default ayanamsa is Lahiri. An ayanamsa is the offset used to express positions in the sidereal zodiac, so choosing a different one can change the displayed degrees. AI astrology does not choose the planetary positions.
Why birth-time accuracy matters
An uncertain birth time makes the ascendant and house-based reading uncertain. Some kundli placements may remain similar across nearby times, but that does not establish the whole chart's accuracy. Use a recorded time where possible and keep any known uncertainty in mind when reading an interpretation. The form requires a time; it does not establish an unknown one for you.
Check these details when two charts disagree
- AM or PM: entering 7:30 AM instead of 7:30 PM changes the birth moment by 12 hours.
- Birthplace: the same city name can refer to different locations. Confirm the state and country.
- Timezone: use the offset at the birth date, including historical daylight-saving rules where applicable.
- Calculation settings: compare the ayanamsa and house system before comparing the displayed placements.
Calculation reference: Swiss Ephemeris documentation.
Kundli FAQs
Is this online kundli really free?
Generating your kundli is free, and you can use the form without signing in. Personalised readings and AI astrology questions are separate features that can use account credits. Check the cost shown for an action before opening a reading or sending a question.
What details do I need to create a kundli?
A kundli needs your date of birth, time of birth and birthplace. Use the recorded local time, including AM or PM, and select the correct city from the suggestions. Your name helps label the kundli; it does not determine the planetary positions.
Can I make a kundli by date of birth only?
This kundli calculator requires a birth time and location as well as the date. Without a reliable time, the ascendant and house-based interpretation are uncertain. AI astrology cannot confirm a guessed time for you; use a recorded time where possible and explain any uncertainty in your kundli before requesting an interpretation.
What is the difference between kundli and kundali?
Kundli and kundali are different spellings of the same term for a Vedic birth chart. Janam kundli, janam kundali and janampatri also refer to the birth chart. The spelling does not change the calculation or the birth details needed to create it.
Why does my kundli differ from another website?
First compare the date, AM or PM, birthplace, timezone and ayanamsa used by both kundli calculators. A kundli drawn in a different regional style can also look unfamiliar while showing the same placements. Compare planet signs and degrees before assuming that a visual difference means a calculation error.
Is an AI kundali reading the same as the chart calculation?
No. Calculating a kundli establishes the astronomical positions from the birth details. AI astrology interprets the kundli and answers questions in language. An interpretation can be mistaken even when the positions are calculated correctly, so check its reasoning against your kundli. The reading is an explanation layer, not the ephemeris.
Do I need an account to generate my kundli?
You can generate a kundli without an account. Sign in when you want to save profiles or use account-based features such as AI astrology questions. Keeping the birth details available lets you create the same kundli again without relying on a saved profile.
Can I create a kundli for someone else?
Yes. Enter that person's birth details in the kundli form and check the name, date, time and city before generating. Before using AI astrology, confirm whose details are loaded. A kundli for one person should not be used to interpret another person's circumstances.
Does 'best astrologer near me' have to mean a local office?
An online consultation lets you speak with a human astrologer from home. If your priority in a 'best astrologer near me' search is convenient access, travel is unnecessary. Astro Ashish offers online consultations; email astroashish@astrodaivika.com to discuss your question, availability and fees before arranging a session.
How should I compare results for 'best astrologer near me'?
A 'best astrologer near me' search is a starting point, not proof of quality. Ask how the astrologer uses your birth details, explains uncertainty and handles follow-up questions. Agree on the scope and fee before booking. A useful conversation should explain the reasoning behind a reading and leave you free to make your own decisions.
Is free astrology the same as AI astrology?
Free astrology here includes the free kundli calculation and a separate initiative offering 10 personal readings each month for people facing financial hardship who urgently need guidance. AI astrology questions are a different service and can use account credits. To request a personal reading, email astroashish@astrodaivika.com with a subject starting with "Compassion Reading".
