It stays until you leave the page. Nothing is stored anywhere.
Free forever, no sign-up and no limits, and this tool installs on its own so you can keep it on your home screen.
Enter a birth date, time and town and get the chart drawn and read: the lagna, the nakshatra, every planet in its house, the navamsa, and the years the tradition marks out, from birth to ten years ahead. It is written in your own language, and the terms are the ones your own almanac uses. Free, with no account and nothing held back for a payment.
How to use it
- Enter the birth detailsDate, time and town, for yourself or for the whole family. The time matters more than people expect: the ascendant moves a whole sign roughly every two hours.
- Choose the tradition and the languageVedic or classical Western, and the language you want it written in. You can also say what you particularly want looked at.
- Read it, then keep itThe chart is drawn and the reading follows. Save it as a PDF, copy the text, or have it emailed to you. It stays until you leave the page.
What people actually open this for
A marriage that is being talked about. Families want to know what the tradition says about timing before a date is fixed, and the usual answer is an appointment and a fee. Here you get the placements the tradition reads for marriage, and the months it marks, laid out on their own tab so you are not hunting through paragraphs for them.
A job, or leaving the country. The questions that bring people to an astrologer are nearly always about a decision already on the table: an offer, a visa, a move, a business someone is thinking of starting. You can type that question in before you run it, and the reading answers it inside the sections it is already writing, naming the placement it is reading from rather than pronouncing.
A newborn's chart. The nakshatra and its pada are what naming customs turn on across South Asia, and they are the first thing anybody asks for. Both are on the chart here, computed rather than looked up in a table that stopped being accurate decades ago.
A paper chart you already have and cannot read. Plenty of people were given a janma patra as a child and have never had it explained. Enter the same birth details and you get the same chart, drawn the way you are used to seeing it, with the reading in the language you would have wanted it in the first time.
The whole family at once. Add a partner and the children and the reading stops being one chart and becomes the household: what the tradition reads between the two adults, how it reads each child against each parent, and the stretches that fall on more than one of you at the same time. That last one is what a family actually feels, and it is the thing a single chart cannot show you. There are no compatibility scores here, in either direction, because the tradition names relationships between placements rather than measuring them, and a percentage on a marriage reads as a measurement.
Simply wanting to see it. Which sign was rising, where the Moon was, which period you are in now. That is the whole reason most people search for this, and there is no sign-up between you and it.
Where the years come from, and what they are worth
The timeline runs from your birth to ten years ahead, not from today onward. That is deliberate: the honest way to judge any reading is to look at what it says about years you have already lived. If it does not recognise those, the years ahead are not worth much either, and you should be able to see that in a few seconds rather than after a payment.
It is split by subject, a tab at a time, because marriage, illness, travel, property, work and the period changes on one list is unreadable. Each entry carries a month as well as a year, and says which placement it is read from.
One tradition at a time
Most free readings are a blur: a sun sign paragraph, a Sanskrit term, a bit of psychology, whatever sounded good. The two traditions here are genuinely different systems with different zodiacs, and mixing them produces something that belongs to neither.
A Vedic reading here is forbidden from using sun-sign personality descriptions or the modern planets, which have no place in it. A Ptolemaic reading is forbidden from using nakshatras, dashas or Sanskrit terms. If you want to see how the two differ, run both and compare: the sidereal and tropical zodiacs are currently about twenty four degrees apart, which is most of a sign, so the same birth often reads differently.
What this will not tell you
It will not predict a death, diagnose an illness, or tell you what to buy or sell. Those are excluded in the instruction rather than left to chance, because a confident sentence about any of them can do real harm and because the tradition's authority does not extend to them.
It also will not tell you what is going to happen. A reading of this kind describes what a tradition indicates, which is not the same claim, and the page says so plainly underneath every one.
Questions people ask
Why does the birth time matter so much?
Because the ascendant, the degree rising in the east, moves right round the zodiac in a day. That is a full sign roughly every two hours, and the ascendant decides which house every planet falls into. An hour of error can move the whole chart. If you only know the approximate time, the sign positions stay right and the house positions become uncertain, and it is worth saying so to yourself when you read the result.
What is the difference between Vedic and Ptolemaic here?
They use different zodiacs and different methods, and this tool keeps them completely separate. Vedic uses the sidereal zodiac, tied to the stars, with the Lahiri ayanamsa, and reads nakshatras, the navamsa chart and the classical Parashari method. Ptolemaic uses the tropical zodiac, tied to the equinox, and follows the Hellenistic tradition of Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos. A reading in one never borrows the other's vocabulary.
Can I put the whole family in?
Yes, up to six people. Each one gets their own chart drawn, and the reading is then about the household rather than about any one of them: how the tradition reads the adults together, each child against each parent, and the periods that land on more than one person at once. The sections change to match, so you are not reading the same personal reading several times over. You will not get a compatibility score, because the tradition does not give one and a number there would read as a measurement of a marriage.
Will the chart look like the one I am used to?
For a Vedic reading it is the North Indian chart, the diamond, with house one at the top and the sign numbers written in each box. That is what most almanacs and most astrologers in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka hand you, so if you have a chart on paper it should sit next to this one and read the same. The navamsa is drawn beside it in the same style.
Are the positions accurate?
Yes, and you can check them. Every position is worked out from the actual movements of the sun, moon and planets, so the lagna, the nakshatra and every house placement should match any properly cast chart for the same birth. If you already have one from an astrologer, compare them: the sign of the ascendant and the nakshatra are the quickest two to check, and they should agree. Where a chart from elsewhere differs, it is nearly always the birth time or the old time zone rather than the arithmetic.
Do you handle old time zones properly?
Yes, and it is one of the commonest ways a birth chart goes quietly wrong. A time zone's offset belongs to the date, not to the place. Sri Lanka was five and a half hours ahead until 1996, then six and a half, then six, and back to five and a half in 2006. Applying today's offset to a birth in 1985 moves the chart half an hour, which is enough to shift the ascendant, and the result would look perfectly normal. This looks up the offset that was actually in force on your birth date.
What happens to my birth details?
They are sent to an AI for the one request that writes your reading, and only if you tick the box saying so. Nothing is stored: not the details, not the reading, and not your IP address. There is no account and no history. The reading exists in the page you are looking at and nowhere else, so closing or refreshing that page is the end of it. There is also a button to clear it sooner.
How long does the reading stay on screen?
Until you leave the page. Nothing is stored anywhere, so refreshing or closing the tab is the whole end of it, and there is no history to come back to. An earlier version cleared itself after five minutes, which mostly took the reading away from people who were still reading it. Save it as a PDF, copy the text, or email it to yourself, and there is a button to clear it sooner if you want it gone.
What happens if I email it to myself?
The reading and the address you type go to our mail server for that one message, and neither is stored afterwards. The address is not added to any list, because there is no list. If you would rather nothing went anywhere at all, save it as a PDF instead: that happens entirely on your own machine.
Is any of this true?
The positions are. Where the planets were at your birth is a fact and you can check it against any ephemeris. Whether those positions say anything about a life is a different question, and there is no evidence that they do. The page says so under every reading, along with the point that plenty of people have lived lives nothing like what a chart said of them.
