Frequently Asked Questions

Vedic Astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is an ancient Indian system of astrology that uses the sidereal zodiac to provide insights about your personality, destiny, and life events.

Your birth chart (Janma Kundali) is a snapshot of the planetary positions at the time of your birth. It is the foundation for analyzing your strengths, weaknesses, and future predictions.

Dasha is a planetary time period system. It helps astrologers predict the influence of planets over specific durations in your life. The most widely used is the Vimshottari Dasha system.

Vedic Astrology provides guidance in making better decisions about career, health, relationships, and finance by identifying favorable and unfavorable planetary periods.

Divisional Charts, or Varga charts, are specialized charts derived from the main birth chart (Rashi chart) to analyze specific areas of life in greater detail—such as marriage, career, children, and spirituality. The Navamsa (D9) and Dasamsa (D10) are among the most commonly used divisional charts.

Divisional charts provide a deeper layer of interpretation by zooming into specific life domains. They help validate or fine-tune the predictions made from the main chart and are essential for professional-level astrological analysis.

Transits, or Gochara, refer to the current movement of planets in the sky and how they interact with your natal chart. They help predict upcoming events, challenges, and opportunities in your life, especially when combined with your Dasha periods.

A retrograde planet appears to move backward in the sky from Earth's perspective. In Vedic Astrology, retrograde planets can intensify their effects, bring delays, or force inner reflection, depending on the planet and its placement in your chart.

Yes. Vedic Astrology analyzes the 10th house, planetary strengths, and Dasha periods to guide career paths. It also considers the Dasamsa (D10) chart for deeper career insights and timing of job changes or promotions.

The birth chart is divided into 12 houses (bhavas), each representing a specific area of life such as personality, wealth, siblings, home, education, career, marriage, and more. The position of planets in these houses determines how those life areas unfold.

The 12 zodiac signs (rashis) represent different energies and personality traits. Each sign spans 30 degrees and governs a house in the chart. Planets placed in different signs behave differently based on the sign's qualities (e.g., fiery Aries or watery Cancer).

In Vedic Astrology, aspects (drishti) refer to the influence that a planet casts on other houses or planets from its position. Each planet has specific aspect rules, with Saturn, Mars, and Jupiter having special full aspects in addition to the 7th house aspect.

Conjunction occurs when two or more planets occupy the same sign and house. Their energies blend and affect the areas ruled by that house. The outcome depends on the nature, strength, and relationship of the involved planets.

A planet is exalted when it is in a sign where it functions at its best and delivers strong results. Debilitation is the opposite—when a planet is in a sign where it becomes weak or less effective. For example, the Moon is exalted in Taurus and debilitated in Scorpio.

Lagna (Ascendant) represents your physical body, personality, and how you appear to the world. The Moon sign reflects your emotional self and mental patterns. While Lagna governs the external, the Moon sign governs your inner reactions and feelings. Both are essential for accurate astrological analysis.

Shadbala is a system used to calculate the strength of planets based on six different factors. It helps astrologers assess how capable each planet is to deliver results in a chart. A planet with high Shadbala performs strongly in its associated areas of life.

Kundli Milan involves matching 8 key factors (Ashtakoota) like Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi. The total score out of 36 determines compatibility. A match score above 18 is generally considered acceptable, though individual charts are also reviewed in detail.

Yes. Vedic Astrology analyzes the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses, along with the condition of the Ascendant and Moon, to assess physical and mental health. Planetary influences, transits, and dasha periods can indicate health risks or recovery phases.

Benefic planets like Jupiter, Venus, and a well-placed Mercury generally give positive results. Malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu, and Ketu can cause challenges, especially if ill-placed. Their effects also depend on the sign, house, and aspect relationships in a chart.

Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets (chhaya grahas) that represent karmic lessons and spiritual evolution. Rahu signifies desires, obsessions, and foreign elements, while Ketu represents detachment, spirituality, and past life mastery. Their placements strongly influence your destiny path.

Remedies like mantras, gemstones, donations, and rituals are prescribed to balance planetary energies. While not a cure-all, they help align your actions with favorable vibrations and reduce the negative impact of challenging planetary influences. Their success often depends on faith and consistency.
