A Kundali (birth chart, or janam kundali) is a map of the sky at the exact time and place you were born. It shows the Lagna (rising sign), the sign and nakshatra of the Moon, and where each of the nine grahas sits in the twelve houses. Namah Life draws the Rashi chart (D1), the Navamsa (D9) and the Dashamsha (D10), with D2, D3, D7, D12 and D60 as well, in North, South or East Indian style.
In the North Indian method, called Ashtakoota, eight factors (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi) are scored from the Moon sign and nakshatra of both people. The factors add up to 36 points.
Many astrologers treat 18 as the lowest score worth considering, 24 or more as good, and 32 or more as very good. This is a common convention, not a law. A score is read together with the doshas and the full charts, and a jyotishi may weigh it differently.
Porutham is the South Indian method. It checks ten matches (such as Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree Dheerga, Yoni, Rasi, Rasiyathipathi, Vasya, Rajju and Vedha) between the two nakshatras. Each one is either present or absent, so the result is a count out of 10, not a score out of 36. Namah Life asks you to pick one tradition per match.
Mangal Dosha (Kuja Dosha) is said to arise when Mars sits in certain houses from the Lagna, Moon or Venus (commonly the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th). Texts differ on the houses and on the conditions that cancel it. Namah Life shows it as absent, mild (somya), present or cancelled, and says which rule applied.
Kaal Sarp Dosha is said to occur when all seven planets sit on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis. Classical texts do not mention it, and astrologers disagree on whether it is a real category. Namah Life therefore shows it as "according to some traditions" and calls it mild when six of seven planets are on one side.
Vimshottari is a 120-year cycle of planetary periods. Where it begins depends on the nakshatra of your Moon at birth. Each period (mahadasha) has smaller periods inside it (antardasha). Namah Life shows your timeline and the period running today.
Sade Sati is the seven and a half years during which Saturn passes through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your birth Moon sign. Many traditions treat it as a time that asks for patience; how it is read varies a great deal between astrologers. Namah Life shows the dates for you and, in a match, for both people, and does not predict what will happen.
Ashtakavarga is a table of points (bindus) that each planet gives to the signs; the totals show which houses carry more support. Shadbala measures six kinds of planetary strength in rupas against the minimum tradition asks for each planet. Published methods differ, so Namah Life names the convention it uses.
Papasamyam is a South Indian check that adds up the harsh planets (Mars, Saturn, Sun, Rahu) in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 and 12 from the Lagna, Moon and Venus for each person, then compares the two totals. Tradition prefers that the bride's total is not above the groom's. Weights vary between schools.
Planet positions are calculated, not looked up from a table, using the Drik method with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and whole-sign houses. The result is only as good as the birth time: a few minutes can move the Lagna into the next sign, and the divisional charts and dasha timing change with it. Use a time from a birth record if you can.
No. Namah Life gives you a clear first reading, not a verdict on your life. It does not give remedies. For marriage or other big decisions, speak to a trusted jyotishi.
English, Hindi and Marathi. Use the language switch at the top of the page to change between them. The Hindi and Marathi text is still being reviewed by native speakers.
Every figure on your report comes from the birth details you enter. Nothing is looked up from a stored chart. This is the method, so you can check it.
| Step | What we do | Convention |
|---|---|---|
| Planet positions | Calculated for your date, time and place in your browser | Standard astronomical models, cross-checked against an independent reference |
| Zodiac | Sidereal. Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha). Houses: whole-sign | Drik Ganita method; Lahiri is the Government of India standard |
| Place of birth | Matched to latitude, longitude and time zone | A place list covering towns and villages worldwide. Village points are approximate |
| Dasha | Vimshottari, 120-year cycle, start set by the Moon's nakshatra | Classical Parashari sequence |
| Matching | North: Ashtakoota, 36 points. South: Porutham, 10 matches | Classical point tables |
| Extra sections | Ashtakavarga, Shadbala, Sade Sati, Papasamyam and the joint timeline | Parashari tables and published methods; each convention is named in the report |
| Doshas | Mangal and Kaal Sarp, with cancellation rules, shown as absent, mild, present or cancelled | Traditions differ. Our grading is a stated convention awaiting review by a jyotishi |
Limits, said plainly: a small error in birth time can change the Lagna. The Hindi and Marathi text is still being reviewed by native speakers. A reading here does not replace an astrologer, and it gives no remedies.
