How to Generate Your Janam Kundli — Step-by-Step

Generating a Kundli requires three pieces of information. Here’s how to get each one right, because accuracy matters.

What You Need Before You Start

1. Date of Birth — This is easy. Use your birth certificate or school records. Make sure you use the correct calendar (most Indians born after 1957 use the Gregorian calendar).

2. Exact Time of Birth — This is the most critical input. Even a 5-minute error can change your Ascendant (Lagna) and shift your entire chart. Check:

Your birth certificate or hospital discharge paper
Your parents’ memory (ask them when they checked the clock)
The family pandit’s records (many families have the pandit note the time)
If time is unknown, some astrologers use “birth time rectification” — but this is advanced

3. Place of Birth — City name is usually enough. The AI uses GPS coordinates for precision. If born in a small village, use the nearest major city.

Step-by-Step: Generate Your Kundli

Step 1: Download Astrova AI from Google Play (free).

Step 2: Open the app and tap “Janam Kundli.”

Step 3: Enter your date of birth, exact time, and city of birth.

Step 4: The AI calculates your Ascendant, Moon sign, Sun sign, and planetary positions using the Swiss Ephemeris (the same astronomical engine used by professional astrologers worldwide).

Step 5: View your complete Kundli chart with all 12 houses, planetary positions, Dasha periods, and detailed interpretations for each area of life.

Step 6: Save or share your Kundli. You can generate it again anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to find your exact birth time for Kundli?

Check your birth certificate first — most Indian hospitals record the exact time. If that’s unavailable, ask your parents or check family records. Many families consult a pandit shortly after birth who notes the time. If birth time is completely unknown, astrologers can use ‘birth time rectification’ techniques, though this is an advanced process.

How to read your Kundli chart — where to start?

Start with three things: (1) Your Lagna (Ascendant) — this is your core personality, (2) Your Moon sign — this shows your emotional nature, (3) Your Sun sign — this represents your soul purpose. Once you understand these three, explore the houses they occupy and the planets aspecting them.

How accurate is online Kundli vs a pandit’s Kundli?

For chart calculation, they are identical — both use the same astronomical algorithms. For interpretation, AI has become remarkably good at standard readings and matches experienced astrologers for most queries. Complex life decisions may still benefit from a human astrologer’s intuition and experience.

How to use Kundli for career decisions?

Look at your 10th house (Karma Bhava) and its lord. The planets in the 10th house, aspects on it, and the Dasha period you’re running all influence career. A strong 10th house with beneficial planets indicates professional success. Astrova AI’s Kundli feature provides detailed career analysis based on these factors.
