Ask your chart

Traditionally, families match the two charts and look at the score out of 36. It is worth knowing that a great many long and happy marriages score below 18, and that matching is one input among several rather than a verdict. We will show you the full breakdown of all eight kootas so you can see exactly what the number is made of, and we will never tell you whether to marry.

The convention most families follow is that 18 out of 36 or more is considered acceptable, 25 and above is considered very good, and below 18 is usually discussed with an astrologer. Nadi and Bhakoot carry the most weight because they are worth 8 and 7 points on their own.

The rising sign changes roughly every two hours, and the exact degree moves about one degree every four minutes, so a birth time that is out by twenty minutes can put your lagna in the wrong sign and change every house placement. We show you the exact window your rising sign holds for, and if your time sits near a boundary we will ask you about a couple of things that happened in your life and work the time out from them.

You can say so, and still get a reading. Without a time, the Moon, its nakshatra and the dasha periods all still hold — those do not depend on the time of day. What becomes unreliable is the lagna and the houses, and we tell you that rather than quietly guessing.

Two different things are being asked there. The positions of the planets are astronomy, and they are worked out exactly, the same way an almanac is. The interpretation is written by a language model reading that chart, which is a traditional system with no scientific basis, and it can be wrong. We say so on every page rather than in the small print.

Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) by default, which is the Indian government standard and what most Indian astrologers expect. Raman, Krishnamurti, Yukteshwar and Fagan/Bradley are also available. If your chart here differs from another site, the ayanamsa is usually why.

Three questions are free, with no card details and no account. The reading about your child has two more of its own on top of that, counted separately, so asking about your own week does not use them up. After that a pass gives you a set number of questions for a set period — there is no wallet to top up, no minimum balance, no per-minute charge, and nothing renews on its own. Readings are not refundable, which is exactly why the free ones are there: you should know what a reading here is like before you spend anything on one.

No. Per-minute billing charges you for thinking, which is why people rush their questions. You buy a pass, the price and the number of questions are both shown before you pay, and then you take as long as you like.

No, and we will not. No honest astrologer reads that, and the ones who claim to are selling fear. We also do not diagnose illness, recommend gemstones or pujas, or suggest that anything bad will happen unless you buy something.

Yes. There is a switch at the top of the page and the whole app changes, including the reading itself. Switching mid-conversation keeps everything you have already asked.
