Make Free Online Kundali
A Kundali/Kundli or Patri is the starting document for all astrological interpretations and predictions.
While, from the outside, the Kundali/Kundli or Patri might look like a simple document, in actual it is not. A Kundali is made using pretty complex calculations using divergent algorithms and making use of principles of Astronomy and Astrophysics.
The Kundali makes use of 12 houses, 12 zodiac signs also called Rashis, 9 planets ( 12 in Western Astrology). It is either represented in rectangular form or in a circular form. In India, we have three major systems or styles of chart or Kundali making – Northern India, Southern India and Eastern India.
The Kundali is made primarily at the time of birth however it is also made when one is asking a specific question and is named Prashna Kundali, when made for that reason. It is also made whenever any auspicious work is being undertaken like starting a job or a new business. In some cultures, Kundali is also made when a girl child gets her first periods and in some, it is even made when one turns 60years in age and a ceremony called Shastiapoorthi takes place.
The Kundalis of Boy and Girl are often matched for the purpose of ascertaining the quality and longevity of the marriage and even for the purpose of birth and health prospects of future offsprings.
Astropatri allows for a very detailed Online Kundali generation. It also allows for Online Match Making or Guna Milan. Needless to say, these are free services and a large chunk of interpretations of the online Kundali and online Match making are free. Astropatri charges only when a specific or a far more detailed interpretation is sought from the empanelled astrologers.

FAQs ( Frequently Asked Questions)
A Kundali or Kundli (Birth Chart) is a map of the sky at the time of birth or of any other time, when the Kundali is being made.
The Kundali is a diagrammatic represenation of the celestial bodies like Sun, Moon and other planets with respect to their placement at various points and various times vis a vis Earth’s orbital position.
The Kundali reveals insights into various aspects of life, such as personality, career, relationships, and destiny of any individual.
The Kundali is a proof of the timeless human intelligence. It is really intriguing to imagine how human beings thoudands or perhaps millions of years ago had clear knowledge of planets invisible to eye and their minute details like speed of movement, whether in direct or retrograde motion or even being static amongst many other things.
All ancient Astrology books like Brihar Parashara Hora Shastra, Jataka Parijata, Siddhant Shiromani etc have clear mentions of Kundali making, how to make various types, how to read them etc.
Kundali also finds a mention in our Vedas like Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Atharv Veda.
While a school of thought credits the Greek civilization to bring forth the Horoscope or the Kundali in its current form, a more credible school of thought says that the word Horoscope itself has origins in the word Hora used by Indian astrologers from time immemorial. You can read about our thoughts about origination of Astrology in detail by clicking here.
Vedic astrology follows the principle that celestial bodies influence human lives. While there is a contrary view point that they do not but all of us know for sure that Sun and Moon do.
If Sun and Moon can have such a strong influence on our lives infact they are even the base of our very existence, there is no reason that other celestial bodies can not have any bearing. The fact that the limitation may rather be in the human thought capabilities rather than the algorithms of the Universe is quite reasonable.
In Astrology and specifically in the Kundali, there are houses, planets, Rashis ( Zodiacs) and Nakshatras.
Then there is Dasha, Transit, strengths of planets, the state of the planet ( strong or weak) , the aspects of planets on each other and so many other permutations and combinations. Each calculation and each premise adds to the promise or the lack thereof the horoscope.
The Kundali is like the base record or the base document that serves as the founding note for all the further calculations required to interpret the planetary messages.
The Kundali has the following primary components :
1. Houses or Bhavas
The Kundali has 12 houses. Every house represents a specific area of human life. For example First house represents Self, Personality, Vitality, Character etc. The 2nd house depicts famly, wealth, speech, right eye and so on. A detailed information on what all each house presents can be accessed here.
2. Planets or Grah
Vedic Astrology considers 9 major planets. Namely Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Rahu–Ketu.
Western Astrology takes into cognizance – Pluto, Uranus and Neptune as well.
Every planet moves from house 1 to house in anti clock wise manner except Rahu and Ketu which move in clockwise manner.
3. Rashis or Zodiacs
The Earth moves around the Sun in an elleptical orbit, comprising 360 degrees. The orbit is divided in 12 parts and each part is called a Rashi or a Zodiac.
The 12 zodiacs or rashis are as follows :
1. Aries
2. Taurus
3. Gemini
4. Cancer
5. Leo
6. Virgo
7. Libra
8. Scorpio
9. Sagittarius
10. Capricorn
11. Aquarius
12. Pisces
So the 9 planets can be in any of the twelve houses and any of the twelve rashis. One house or one rashi can house 1 or many infact as many as 8 planets in it ( since Rahu and Ketu remain diagonally opposite, therefore one of them will not be part of the 8).
4. Nakshatras
Vedic or Indian Astrology system has been more Nakshatra specific than Rashi specific. A Rashi is of 30 degrees but a Nakshatra is of 13 degrees 20 minutes. Like a rashi, a nakshatra also has a planetary lord.
The Nakshatra of Moon at the time of birth specifies the Dasha one is born into and the Dasha system that person will have in hsi or her life.
Astropatri has a very detailed Nakshatra section where you can read about each Nakshatra. Click here to read about them.
Online Kundali is created by the software which has been programmed by technical people in consultation with astrologers.
The accuracy of the software depends upon the acumen of both the technical guy as well as the person providing astrological logics.
Generally, it has been seen that most sites do correctly cast the horoscope or the Kundali. Most of the charts, Dashas etc are correctly determined and presented. However, it is also often seen that when Doshas or Yogas are mentioned or identified in Kundalis created by these sites, the element of finetuning is often absent.
A case in example is – detecting if Mangalik dosha is present in a horoscope. Astrology says that if Mars is present in 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the horoscope or the Kundali from Lagna, Moon or Venus – The Mangalik dosha will be considered as present. This would effectively mean that hardly anyone will be there without the Mangalik Dosha.
However, if there are say X combinations of being a Mangalik, there are roughly 3X cancellation logics also. So, the actual chances of any one being really a Mangalik are very low.
Astropatri differs from most of the sites in this regard. We look at the possibilities of occurrence as well as cancellation for all such planetary themes. We pride ourselves as being truly accurate in calculating and depicting fine astrological events and occurrences.
Making of a Kundali or casting of horoscope is as much a cultural thing as it is a religious thing.
In India, we have 3 basic systems of making the Birth Charts or Kundalis.
Based upon their acceptance and usage in various parts of the country, the main 3 systems are :
– North Indian Style
– South Indian Style
– Eastern Style
North Indian Kundali (Diamond Chart Style)
2. South Indian Kundali (Rectangular Chart Style)
3. East Indian Kundali (Bengali/Oriya Style)
Each of these styles follows Vedic astrology principles, but their visual representation and interpretation approach differ slightly.
An integral point of Indian marriages is that the Kundalis or Lagna Patrikas of the groom and bride are matched before the marriage.
The Kundalis are matched on multiple criteria and a Guna milan is done.
Essentially, the match is seen on 4 major fronts – Physical, Emotional, Spiritual and Intellectual. Our sages devised a very intelligent and enigmatic Ashta Koot Guna milap system to evaluate a match on the above 4 planes. Ashta means Eight (8) and Koot means factors.
However knowledgable astrologers not only look at the points obtained in the Ashta Koot Guna Milap table but also look at multiple other factors like the 7th house, 7th house lord, placement of 7th house lord, operating Dashas, position of Venus and Jupiter in male and female charts amongst other things.
There is often this criticism that Matching horoscopes is superstition or is something that is found relevant in only certain segments of Hinduism. It is said that no other community other than certain sub-communities of Hinduism uses matching or Kundali Milan and there is no corroborative evidence that horoscope which match well mean a better marriage.
However a deeper study would perhaps also show that each culture has one or the other criteria to evaluate a match. It can be social, financial, cultural, educational, physical etc. That, Indian culture seeks these validations from various planetary positions in boy’s and girl’s charts is only one more way of doing the evaluation.
A Birth or Lagna chart is a reflection of various facets of our life. When we match two charts, we look at the compatibility on multiple fronts between two people who wish to lead a happy and long (tenure of) life together. Anything that aids the ultimate objective is and should be welcome.
Many misconceptions surround Kundali making and about the very essence of Astrology. It is actually good that we have voices of reason asking why should something be believed or trusted.
Some of the most asked and also relevant questions that are asked about Astrology in general and Kundalis in specific are :
Let us try to understand and explain the concept of Astrology in the context of above questions.
The first and second questions are similiar in nature. How can lives of two twins which are born at the same place, same date and within few minutes be drastically different. The same applies to babies who are not twins but belong to different familial or social backgrounds and are born around the same time.
The answer can be explained through 3 major points:
1. While the chart is a cosmic map of life ahead, the previous lives have been different. Some one is carrying positive scores from the past lives and someone negative. While the similiarity of planetary placement in the main chart promises similiar results, the base or the bedrock of life during this birth is different. It is like trying to climb a mountain from different altitudes.
2. The Main chart will be similiar but there are so many permutations and combinations further down the line. There are many sub divisional charts which are created by doing more finer calculations. Knowledgable astrologers will be able to distinctly realise the difference in multiple charts even if the birth time is only a few minutes apart.
3. The importance of Free Will and efforts. During our research for building Astropatri, we went through multiple books and sources of information. We did not find a single reference where people have been asked to use Astrology as a fixed, rigid, deterministic science. Astrology or your Kundali defines a broad area of scope for one’s current life time. It carries hundreds of positive and negative signals. It is upon you on how to read, understand and utilise the planetary messages to your betterment. The attitude, you are able to develop for yourselves will help you get the maximum outcome. At Astropatri, our main aim is to help everyone realise their potential and maximise their outcomes.
We would explain it from two perspectives:
1. Our Approach
Many Astrology websites and apps have the birth chart or online Kundali generation software. A large number of them make the main and divisional charts withour error. However, most of them are not giving unique and detailed interpretations that should ideally be flowing from the Kundali or the chart.
Astropatri is developing very detailed Kundali based predictions in each and every area of life. It is being developed by a very competent team of astrologers and tech professionals who are themselves students of Jyotish. While developing the Kundali software, we all are maintaining a pious life style. We want to practice what we preach.
Extremely financially successful astrology websites are running Astrology as a call centre business. They are only interested in increasing the number of paid minutes of interaction with Astrologers. At Astropatri, our approach is reverse. We do not have any junior or inexperienced astrologers. Our astrologers maintain a very strong spritual regime. We wish to practice Astrology as a serious phenomenon and avoid any frivolousness.
2. Functionality of our Horoscope/Kundali generation Engine
Our Horoscope or Kundali generation engine has many uniques. We provide free and detailed insights into many aspects like detailed Mangalik dosh, Real sun-sign, Dagdh Rashi, Planetary wars amongst other things. In our impartial assessment, the Kundali and the aspects of the Kundali that we cover are more nuanced than all other engines.

It is quite distressing to see that Astrology is not given the rightful status it deserves by both the practitioners and the opponents alike.
Astrology is a systemic interpretaion of different Astronomical events and Astronomy is all about Astrophysics.
For example, for planetary motions and positions – Kepler’s laws of planetary motion and Newtonian mechanics are relevant.
The precise planetary positions to generate a Kundali (birth chart), require accurate astronomical calculations and are derived from ephemeris data, which is an outcome of astrophysical studies.
Sidereal & Tropical system
Vedic Astrology uses Sidereal system whereas Western Astrology uses Tropical system.
Astrophysics explains how Earth’s axial tilt causes the precession of equinoxes (a slow drift of constellations over time).
Vedic astrology accounts for this by using the Sidereal Zodiac, which aligns with fixed stars, while Western astrology uses the Tropical Zodiac, which follows seasonal changes.
Gravitational Effects of Planets
While astrology attributes influences to planetary positions, astrophysics explains that celestial bodies do exert gravitational forces on Earth. For example:
Cosmic Rays and Electromagnetic Influence
Astrophysics studies how solar radiation, cosmic rays, and electromagnetic fields interact with Earth. Some astrologers theorize that these celestial energy emissions might influence biological and psychological states. While this remains speculative from a scientific standpoint, but we have all seen how a Sunny day impacts our moods vs a cloudy day. The tides of the Moon are so much relevant that a person with mental disorders is also called a lunatic ( derived from lunar – Moon).
Planetary Alignments and Their Effects
Astrology emphasizes planetary conjunctions, retrogrades, and transits, which are all astrophysical phenomena.
There is really no difference. The Online Kundali generation softwares use the same logic as used by offline practitioners or astrologers.
Online Kundali is instantaneous and generally free. Astrologers would and should charge a fees if they are making it by hand as it is a substantial calculative work.
Online Kundalis often give a lot more charts than offline astrologers do as the work is done by software and is not a manual effort.
Most astrologers now use either online Kundalis or horoscope generation softwares to create Kundalis rather than doing it by hand. So, it is more or less similiar on both fronts now.
Broadly yes. For most people who are not really aware of nuances of their birth charts and subsequent charts, it is like Greek to them. So, in general, they will not be able to identify any mistakes.
The leading websites like Astrosage and Astrotalk have got a fine horoscope engine and are displaying the right charts. Astropatri also prides itself on the correctness and authenticity of its chart engine and interpretations.
The chances of an astrologer doing it by hand and doing mistakes are more than the software led engines. In that sense, you can trust the leading Vedic Astrology based websites of India for your chart creation.
It depends upon the depth of the chart and the features & interpretations that the website or the app is providing. If a website is offering something new or unique, you can try that.
However, in principle, only for the purpose of creating the Main charts like Lagna, Moon, Navamsha charts etc, one site is as good as another.
At Astropatri, we have plans to unravel deep layers of your birth chart. We already have created far more nuanced version of the horoscope generation and our efforts in these directions are supervised by a extremely knowledgable astrologer – Shri Vikram Tiwari, an alumni of Bharti Vidya Bhawan and a student of renowned astrologers like Shri S Ganesh.
For us at Astropatri, the horoscope generation engine and its refinements are an unending project and we will keep on building it till the time, the Divine Force wants us to.
The features that we will build remain free to use and our revenue stream will only be consultations with the premium astrologers of India.
