What Is a Kundli?
Your Janam Kundli — the Vedic birth chart
A Kundli (also called Janam Kundli, janampatri, or horoscope) is your Vedic birth chart — a snapshot of where every planet sat in the sky at the exact moment and place of your birth. It is the foundation of all Vedic astrology.
What a Kundli contains
- Lagna (Ascendant) — the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth.
- Twelve houses (bhavas) — life areas from self and wealth to career and liberation.
- Nine planets (grahas) — Sun through Ketu, placed by sign and house.
- Nakshatra & rashi — your Moon's lunar mansion and sign.
- Dashas & yogas — planetary periods and special combinations.
- Divisional charts — Navamsa (D9) and others for depth.
North vs. South Indian style
The same Kundli can be drawn in North Indian (diamond, fixed houses) or South Indian (square, fixed signs) styles. Navagraha computes the underlying data with the Swiss Ephemeris and displays it clearly, then explains it in plain language.

Is a Kundli the same as a horoscope?
A Kundli is the birth chart itself. A horoscope can mean the chart or a reading derived from it. Navagraha provides both — the chart and plain-language readings.
