How to calculate a Vedic birth chart online for free
- Enter a name and a date of birth in the form above. Instead of a person you can chart an event: a company registered, a wedding, a move.
- Give the time of birth as precisely as you can — the ascendant, the house cusps and the navamsha all shift with the minutes. If the time is unknown, start with the rectification questionnaire: it narrows the interval down from the events of your life.
- Start typing your city and pick it from the prompt — latitude, longitude and the time zone in force on that date are filled in for you.
- Press «Get report». The chart is calculated on the server in seconds, opens straight away and stays in your account.
Calculating the chart and reading its interpretation costs nothing: there is no subscription and no payment for a report.
What the interpretation covers
- Rasi (D1) — the main chart: planets by zodiac sign and house, the ascendant, the house lords and the aspects.
- Divisional charts — D2 Hora (money), D3 Drekkana (character), D4 Chaturthamsha (property), D7 Saptamsha (children), D9 Navamsha (marriage and essence), D10 Dasamsa (work), D12 Dwadashamsha (parents).
- Nakshatras — the lunar mansion of the birth with its pada and lord; each of the 27 nakshatras has a reading of its own.
- Life periods — Vimshottari dashas with their antardashas, and sign-based periods: you see which planet runs the stretch of life you are in.
- Ashtakavarga — the bindus of each planet and the sarvashtakavarga by sign: a numerical measure of how strong the houses are.
- Planetary yogas — the combinations found in your chart, each linked to its entry among the planetary yogas.
How Vedic astrology differs from Western astrology
Jyotish measures the planets against the fixed stars — the sidereal zodiac. The gap between it and the tropical zodiac of Western astrology is called the ayanamsha, and it now runs to roughly 24 degrees, which is why a Vedic chart usually puts the Sun in the preceding sign. The second difference is the Moon and its nakshatra: the Vimshottari dashas, the life periods that Western astrology has no counterpart for, are counted from it. The third is the divisional charts — marriage, work and property are each checked in a varga of their own rather than in the main chart alone. A Jyotish reading therefore speaks not only of character but of when what the chart holds comes out.
AstroJyotish.info is a Vedic astrology reference with an online natal chart calculator. A chart is built on the server in seconds in the «Surya-Siddhanta» mode, the same mode used by Jagannatha Hora. We studied and re-implemented its calculation so that the principal positions of planets, houses, and signs can be obtained directly in a browser. Each result is accompanied by an explanatory passage that helps you read the chart step by step, compare its indicators, and understand how individual elements form a complete picture. The site brings together material on planets, houses, zodiac signs, nakshatras, yogas, and life periods, as well as a calendar of astrological dates and the charts of famous people. It can serve both as an introduction to Jyotish and as a resource for deeper study: articles explain essential concepts, tables make meanings easier to compare, and the completed chart provides a starting point for your own interpretation.
