Practical guides to the ideas behind your kundli — written to be accurate to the classical sources and honest about where traditions differ.
Vedic foundations
What nakshatras are, how the Moon's 27 lunar mansions divide the zodiac, why your janma nakshatra matters more than your sun sign in Jyotish, and how it sets your Vimshottari dasha.

Vedic foundations
Moon sign (rashi) vs Western sun sign: why Vedic astrology reads the Moon first, what the ~24° ayanamsa shift means, and which sign you should read your daily horoscope for.
Muhurat
How muhurat selection actually works: the panchang's five limbs, the windows to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Bhadra, chandra-tara checks), and how the process differs for weddings, griha pravesh and travel.
Divisional charts
The Navamsa chart demystified: how the D9 divides each sign into nine parts, why it's read for marriage and inner strength, what vargottama means, and how to read D1 and D9 together.
Vedic foundations
What a kundli (janam kundli) is, what its 12 houses, 9 grahas and lagna encode, how it's computed with Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa, and how to read one.
Compatibility
How kundli matching works: the Ashtakoota (guna milan) system, all 8 kootas from Varna to Nadi, how the 36-point score is computed, and how to read it honestly.

Sade Sati is Saturn's ~7.5-year transit over the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from your natal Moon: its three phases, how it's computed, and how to read it calmly.
Panchang & timing
Rahu Kaal is a daily ~90-minute window avoided for new beginnings. How it's computed from local sunrise and sunset, and why it differs by city.
Vedic foundations
How to read a daily panchang: what tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara actually measure, and how each is computed from the Sun and Moon for your city.
Numerology basics
What your mulank (root or driver number) is, how to calculate it from your birth day, how it differs from bhagyank, and what the 1-9 numbers traditionally mean.
Vedic timing
How Vimshottari dasha works: the 9 mahadasha lords and their durations, how your Moon's nakshatra sets the starting point, and how to find your current period.
Vedic foundations
Sidereal vs tropical zodiac, Moon sign vs Sun sign, whole-sign houses vs Placidus, dashas vs transits — how the two systems differ and why your sign can change.
