Vedic vs. Western — what's the difference?
You probably know your Western 'sun sign'. Vedic astrology starts from a different question: not who are you, but what season of life are you in? Both systems use the same planets and twelve constellations — but they measure the sky differently and ask different things of it.
Neither is 'right' — they're looking at different layers of the same human.

What is a chart?
Your birth chart is the snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born — sun, moon, planets, and the rising point on the horizon. We compute it from your date, time, and place using the Lahiri ayanamsa (the standard Vedic calculation).
That single chart is then divided into divisional charts — D9 for marriage, D10 for career, D2 for wealth — each one a closer look at a specific area of life. Western astrology stops at one chart. Vedic looks at sixteen.
Dashas — the planetary calendar
Western astrology answers 'what kind of person are you?'. Vedic astrology adds 'what's happening NOW?'.
Your Vimshottari Dasha is a 120-year timeline divided into 9 planetary periods (Mahadashas), each broken into sub-periods (Antardashas). Right now you're inside one — and that planet is shaping the texture of this year of your life.
Yogas — combinations that matter
A 'Yoga' here doesn't mean the physical practice. It means a combination of planets that produces a specific life theme. There are hundreds. Some are auspicious (Raja Yoga: leadership, recognition), some challenging (Kala Sarpa Yoga: cycles of disruption).
Our app detects them automatically and explains each one in plain language — no need to memorize Sanskrit names.
Transits — the sky right now
A transit is where a planet is today, layered onto your birth chart. Saturn moving through your 7th house affects relationships. Jupiter in your 10th brings career visibility. We update this in real time.
Jaimini — a second framework
Most Vedic astrology readings use the Parashari system. We also run Jaimini — an alternative tradition that uses 'karakas' (planetary significators) and 'padas' (reflected houses) to reveal layers Parashari can miss.
You don't have to choose. We use both systems side by side and show you what each reveals.
