A Vedic horoscope (Janma Kundali) is a detailed chart that maps the positions of celestial bodies at the exact moment of a person’s birth, based on principles from Vedic Astrology. Casting a Vedic horoscope involves several precise steps and components:

Birth Details Collection

To cast an accurate horoscope, the following are essential:

• Date of birth
• Exact time of birth
• Place of birth

These details determine how the sky looked at that moment.

Calculation of Planetary Positions

Using astronomical calculations, the positions of key celestial bodies are determined:

• Sun, Moon
• Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn
• Lunar nodes: Rahu and Ketu

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, aligned with fixed stars, unlike Western astrology.

Placement of Planets in Houses and Signs

Each planet is placed in a specific:

• Zodiac sign (Rashi)
• House (Bhava)

This placement determines its influence on different life aspects.

Dasha System (Planetary Periods)

The timing of events is predicted using systems like the Vimshottari Dasha, which divides life into periods ruled by different planets.

Chart Types

Common charts used in Vedic astrology:

• Rasi Chart (D1) – main birth chart
• Navamsa Chart (D9) – marriage and spiritual strength

Gemstone recommendation in Vedic Astrology is based on strengthening beneficial planetary influences in your birth chart (kundali).

Each planet is associated with a specific gemstone, and wearing the right one is believed to enhance positive effects and reduce difficulties.
