What each part tells you

A Kundli has a vocabulary, and most of it is only worth learning for what it tells you. Here is each piece and the question it answers.

Lagna · ascendant, rising sign

The sign that was climbing the eastern horizon at your birth. It decides which part of the chart governs your health, your work, your marriage — so it sets the frame everything else is read against.

Rashi · moon sign

Where the Moon was. In Vedic practice this is "your sign" — it is what a rashifal is cast against, and it is usually not the same as the sun sign you know from a magazine.

Nakshatra · birth star

The Moon sits in one of 27 lunar mansions, each split into four quarters. Which one it was decides the sequence and timing of your dasha periods, so it does more work than its size suggests.

Bhava · the twelve houses

The chart is divided into twelve areas of life — body, wealth, siblings, home, children, health, partnership, and so on. A planet matters mostly by which of these it lands in.

Graha · the nine planets

Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Each has a nature of its own, and takes on the character of the house and sign it occupies.

Dasha · planetary periods

Vedic astrology is unusual in giving timing rather than only character. The Vimshottari system divides your life into periods ruled by each planet in turn — which is what makes it possible to say when rather than only what.

Yoga · planetary combinations

Specific arrangements the classical texts name and describe — a planet exalted in an angle, two benefics in mutual aspect. Your chart has some and lacks others, and the report says which.

Dosha · afflictions

Combinations traditionally flagged for caution — Manglik, Kaal Sarp, Sade Sati. Most have documented cancelling conditions, and the report checks for those too rather than reporting the affliction alone.

Why birth time matters more than you would expect

The Lagna advances about one degree every four minutes, which is a whole sign roughly every two hours. Because the Lagna decides where the twelve houses begin, a birth time out by an hour can move planets into different houses — and a planet in the seventh house is being read as something about your marriage rather than something about your work.

So it is worth knowing which parts of your chart survive an uncertain time and which do not:

Holds up

Moon sign, nakshatra, dasha sequence, and the sign each planet occupies. The Moon is the fastest of these and still takes over two days to change sign.

Does not

Lagna, all twelve house positions, and anything read from them — which includes most of what people come to a chart for.

If you have no birth time at all, a chart built on a guess will look exactly as confident as a correct one, and that is the problem with it. Birth-time rectification with an astrologer is the honest route.

Where to start reading

A full chart is a lot at once. Experienced readers work through it in a fixed order, and it is a useful order for a first look too.

1. 1. The Lagna. It tells you how the twelve houses are laid out, so nothing else can be placed until you have it. Lagna chart, moon chart and Navamsa covers which of the charts in your report to read for what.
2. 2. The Lagna lord. Whichever planet rules that sign, and wherever it sits, carries a lot of the chart's weight.
3. 3. The Moon. Its sign and nakshatra — the emotional register of the chart, and the anchor for timing.
4. 4. The current dasha. Which planet is running your period now, and where it sits. This is what makes the chart about the present rather than about your birth.

How the chart is calculated

Positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same astronomical library used by professional desktop astrology software. The zodiac is sidereal with the Lahiri ayanamsa — the Indian government standard — and houses are whole-sign, which is the classical Vedic convention.

Nothing is looked up from a table or an external service, and nothing is rounded to the nearest day. Your chart is computed for the minute and the coordinates you enter. In practice the accuracy of your recorded birth time matters far more than any of this.
