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 computes kundali with arc-minute precision: Sun within ~0.1′ (p95) and Moon within ~1′ vs NASA-JPL Horizons. It uses the Sūrya-Siddhānta algorithm and the Lahiri ayanāṃśa (Indian standard).

Question 3

Is a free kundali accurate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The free Bharat Ephemeris kundali is fully accurate — it computes the same Vedic birth chart as a paid consultation. Free means no payment barrier; accuracy is always provided. It is the structure of your chart, not a prediction tool.

Question 4

What do the 12 houses in a kundali mean?

Accepted Answer

The 12 houses represent life domains: 1 (self), 2 (wealth), 3 (siblings), 4 (home), 5 (children/creativity), 6 (health), 7 (marriage), 8 (longevity), 9 (dharma/luck), 10 (career), 11 (gains), 12 (loss/liberation). Each house's planets show where that graha's energy flows.

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

No. Bharat Ephemeris is a computation instrument — it delivers the mathematically exact chart and traditional data tables (pañcāṅga, daśā, varga, yogas, sahams). We do not offer predictions, remedies, or fear-based guidance. The house refuses fear-commerce.
