Question 1

What is kundali (janma kundli)?

Accepted Answer

Kundali (janma kundli) is a Vedic birth chart showing the positions of nine grahas (planets) at your exact birth moment. Computed using Sūrya-Siddhānta mathematics, it displays your lagna (ascendant), house placements, and daśā (time periods) — the structural map of your Vedic identity.

Question 2

How accurate is the Bharat Ephemeris kundali calculator?

Accepted Answer

Bharat Ephemeris publishes open positional error bars against NASA/JPL Horizons. In the current checked-in 2000–2050 bench, Sūrya is 7.8 arcseconds p95 and Candra is 30.3 arcseconds p95. Benchmarking validates calculation accuracy, not astrological prediction outcomes.

Question 3

Is a free kundali accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free Bharat Ephemeris kundali uses the same computation path as the paid surfaces. Free means no payment barrier; the chart remains a calculated structure with open error bars, not a promise of outcome certainty.

Question 4

What do the 12 houses in a kundali mean?

Accepted Answer

The 12 houses represent traditional life domains: 1 (self), 2 (resources), 3 (siblings/effort), 4 (home), 5 (children/creativity), 6 (health/service), 7 (partnership), 8 (transformation/longevity tradition), 9 (dharma), 10 (work), 11 (gains), 12 (release/liberation). Interpretations remain traditional guidance, not binding legal, medical or finance advice.

Question 5

How do I read my vedic birth chart?

Accepted Answer

Start with your lagna (ascendant), then locate each graha and its house. Identify your janma nakṣatra (Moon's birth lunar mansion). Check your daśā table for current periods. Study the chart's overall structure — conjunctions, aspects, empty houses. Learn more in our complete kundali guide.

Question 6

What is the Lahiri ayanāṃśa?

Accepted Answer

The Lahiri ayanāṃśa (Chitra-pakṣa) is the Indian government standard for the precession of the equinoxes in Vedic astrology. It defines the offset between the tropical zodiac (Western) and the sidereal zodiac (Vedic). Bharat Ephemeris uses Lahiri exclusively — it is the canonical Indian ayanāṃśa.

Question 7

Does Bharat Ephemeris provide predictions or remedies?

Accepted Answer

Bharat Ephemeris is a computation instrument — it delivers calculated chart positions and traditional data tables (pañcāṅga, daśā, varga, yogas, sahams). We do not sell fear, forced remedies or fake certainty. Human interpretation, where offered through Lunar Luxury, is framed as cited spiritual/Jyotish guidance only.
