Vedic Astrology, known as Jyotish Shastra, is one of the six Vedangas — the limbs of the Vedas. The word Jyotishmeans “Science of Light,” used to understand the influence of celestial bodies on human life. Unlike Western astrology, it follows the Sidereal Zodiac (Nirayana system), based on the actual positions of the stars and constellations.
A Janam Kundali is a celestial map showing the exact positions of the planets at the moment of your birth. It is prepared from three inputs:
The chart is divided into 12 houses, shaped by the 9 planets, 12 zodiac signs and 27 nakshatras. Every combination reveals unique information about personality, health, education, career, marriage, wealth, children, spirituality and life purpose.
