What is Kundli ( Horoscope )
A Kundli, also known as a birth chart or horoscope, is a map of the planets and zodiac signs at the time of a person’s birth. The word “Kundli” comes from the Sanskrit word “kundala,” meaning “coiled snake.” This chart provides a detailed view of the positions of the planets and other astrological elements. Subsequently offers insights into a person’s life and destiny according to ancient Vedic astrology.

Making Of Kundli (Horoscope)
Lagna (Ascendant) is the base for creation of Horoscope. At the time of birth which Zodiac Sign is rising at Eastern Horizon in that particular location of birth is called Lagna Rashi and is placed at House No 1. Subsequently Rashis comes in subsequent houses in sequence.
This is the reason Exact Date , Time and Place of Birth are pre requisite of preparing Kundli.
Illustration
To understand this in details let us take and illustration where we will take an example of birth of a child at particular location.
Birth took place when the Zodiac Sign at East was Kark (Cancer). Thus in his/her first house we will arrange Cancer sign which will be treated as Lagna ( Ascendant ). As we are aware the sequence of Signs arranged in sky, hence next Sign from Cancer is Leo which will be in 2nd house. Subsequently Virgo in 3rd house and so so on.
To understand further below mentioned Rashi arrangement would be there in that particular Horoscope. In kundli number written in any house is always Rashi number, not house number. Hence number written in a house is Rashi number. In picture “4” (number denotes Cancer) number is mentioned in 1st house, which shows in first house Cancer Sign is present.
Rashi arrangements along with pictorial view.
- House 1 – Rashi No 4 Kark (Cancer)
- House 2 – Rashi No 5 Singh (Leo)
- House 3 – Rashi No 6 Kanya (Virgo)
- House 4 – Rashi No 7 Tula (Libra)
- House 5 – Rashi No 8 Vrishchik (Scorpio)
