Frequently asked questions

How is a Vedic chart different from a Western one?

Vedic (Jyotish) astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is aligned with the fixed stars. It currently sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical zodiac, so many planets fall one sign earlier than in a Western chart.

Which ayanamsa do you use?

Lahiri by default, the standard in India. You can also choose Raman, Krishnamurti (KP), True Chitra or Fagan-Bradley.

What are nakshatras?

Nakshatras are the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Each spans 13 degrees 20 minutes of the zodiac. The chart shows the nakshatra of your Moon and of each planet.

Do I need my birth time?

Yes, for the ascendant (Lagna) and the houses. Planet signs and nakshatras can still be read for the day without it.
