Astrology is the ancient science of planets, stars, and cosmic energy that reveals insights about life, destiny, and future predictions. In Vedic astrology, your Kundali (birth chart) acts as the blueprint of your life, showing the positions of planets at the time of your birth. Understanding Kundali, Panchang, Kundali Matching, Choghadiya, and Hora helps you make better decisions in career, love, health, and spiritual growth.
A Kundali—also known as Janam Kundli or birth chart—is a personalized astrological map created using your date, time, and place of birth. It shows:
Your ascendant (lagna)
Planetary positions (graha sthiti)
12 houses in astrology (bhava)
Yogas and doshas (special planetary combinations)
The Panchang is the traditional Hindu calendar that provides daily astrological data, including:
Tithi (lunar day)
Nakshatra (star constellation)
Yoga & Karana
Sunrise & sunset timings
Auspicious and inauspicious time periods
People use Panchang to find shubh muhurat for weddings, pujas, naming ceremonies, and business deals.
Kundali Milan is an essential step in Hindu marriages, where two birth charts are compared to check compatibility. This process uses Guna Milan with 36 points to determine harmony in:
Emotional bonding
Health & longevity
Financial stability
Spiritual compatibility
Choghadiya divides the day into eight time slots, each ruled by a planet. It helps in selecting shubh choghadiya for important work like travel, new beginnings, or rituals.
Hora refers to planetary hours of the day, each ruled by a specific planet influencing certain activities. For example:
Sun Hora – good for authority & leadership
Venus Hora – best for relationships & beauty
Mercury Hora – favorable for education & business
