Vedic and Kundli astrology
Vedic and Kundli astrology hub
Browse Kundli, Rashi, Nakshatra, Lagna, Dasha, Panchang, matching, and careful dosha reference tools in one structured path.
How the Vedic tools fit together
Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, uses the sidereal zodiac, which today sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical zodiac used in most Western astrology. That is why many people find their Vedic Moon sign or Lagna one sign earlier than their Western signs. The birth chart tools here use the Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses.
A practical order is to build the Kundli first from birth date, time and city, then read the Lagna, the Rashi (the Moon sign) and the birth Nakshatra, and then the Dasha periods, which begin from the Moon's Nakshatra. The Panchang, Tithi, Rahu Kalam and Choghadiya tools answer a different question: they describe a day at a place, not a person, and depend on local sunrise and sunset.
The dosha and matching pages explain traditional rules and their boundary cases calmly. No placement is a curse and no chart can decide a marriage, so please treat these tools as a respectful introduction to a living tradition rather than as instructions. The eight Vedic guides below explain each term step by step.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my Vedic sign different from my Western sign?
The two systems measure the zodiac from different starting points. The sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology is about 24 degrees behind the tropical one, so a placement in the first 24 degrees of a Western sign usually falls in the previous sign in a Vedic chart.
Which ayanamsa do these calculators use?
The Vedic birth chart tools on this site use the Lahiri ayanamsa, the one most widely used in India, together with whole-sign houses.
Why do the daily timing tools ask for a city?
Rahu Kalam, Choghadiya and the other daily periods divide the time between local sunrise and sunset, which changes with place and season, so the same weekday gives different clock times in different cities.
Should I start with a hub or a calculator?
Start with the hub when you want the topic map first. Open a calculator when you already know the specific result you want.
Do these hubs change calculator results?
No. Hubs organize related calculators and articles. They do not change calculator logic, page addresses, or chart calculations.
