Frequently asked questions

What is a Jathakam?

A Jathakam (also called a Kundli or birth chart) is a map of the sky at the exact moment and place someone was born. It records the twelve rāśis, the nine grahas, the rising sign (Lagna) and the Vimśottari Daśā sequence that follows from the Moon’s position.

Is Jathaka.com free to use?

Every calculator shows a worked sample result immediately, with no account. Calculating with your own birth details requires a free login, which is what lets your charts be saved and reopened later.

Which ayanamsa do the calculations use?

Calculations use the sidereal (nirayana) zodiac. Lahiri is the default ayanamsa — the one used by the Indian civil calendar — with Raman and KP available as alternatives.

What is the difference between Jathakam, Panchangam and Muhurtham?

A Jathakam describes one person, fixed at their moment of birth. A Panchangam describes one day, and changes daily. A Muhurtham is a search across many days for a window that is favourable for a specific activity such as a marriage or a house warming.
