Free Kundli Online: What You Get Free and What Costs Extra
Can you get a full kundli free online? Yes. Here is what a free kundli should include, what apps charge extra for, and how to check the chart is right.
Quick answer: Yes, you can get a full, accurate kundli online for free. AstroSage, AstroTalk, Astroyogi and most astrology apps calculate it from your date, exact time and place of birth. A free kundli should include your lagna, Moon sign, nakshatra, planetary positions, Vimshottari dasha dates and the navamsa (D9) chart. What usually costs money is interpretation: written reports, live astrologers and unlimited AI chat.
What does a free kundli include?
| Included free on most sites | Usually paid |
|---|---|
| Lagna (ascendant) chart, North or South Indian style | Detailed written life report |
| Planet signs, houses, degrees and nakshatras | Live astrologer chat or call |
| Rashi (Moon sign) and birth nakshatra | Year-ahead (varshphal) report |
| Vimshottari mahadasha and antardasha dates | Personalised remedy plans |
| Navamsa (D9) and other divisional charts | Unlimited AI chat |
| Manglik check and basic doshas | Printed or bound kundli |
| Kundli matching (guna milan) | Muhurat consultation |
What do I need to make a kundli?
- Date of birth.
- Exact time of birth. Check your birth certificate or hospital record. A 10-minute error can change the lagna degree, and a large error can change the lagna sign.
- Place of birth. The town or city, so the software can use its latitude, longitude and time zone.
Don't know your birth time? A Moon-sign (chandra) chart usually still gives your rashi, because the Moon stays in one sign for about two and a quarter days. It can change nakshatra within a single day, though, so your nakshatra and dasha dates may be off, and the lagna and houses can't be known.
How do I check that a free kundli is correct?
- Make it on two different sites. Lagna, Moon sign, nakshatra and current mahadasha should match.
- Check the ayanamsa. Indian charts use Lahiri. If one site says "tropical" or "Western", it is a different system. See real Vedic astrology.
- Check the place. Many towns share a name. Make sure it picked the right state.
- Check AM and PM. The most common mistake of all.
How do I read my free kundli?
Start with three things: your lagna (how you meet the world), your Moon sign and nakshatra (your mind and emotions), and your current mahadasha (the planet running this phase of life). Our step-by-step guide on how to read a kundli explains the 12 houses in plain language.
Is a free kundli as good as a paid one?
The chart is the same. Calculation is astronomy, and a correctly built free calculator gives the same positions as a ₹2,000 report. What you are paying for in a paid kundli is someone's interpretation and the time spent writing it. Get the free chart first, then decide whether you want an interpretation.

Frequently asked questions
Which website gives the most accurate free kundli?
Any site using proper astronomical calculation with the Lahiri ayanamsa gives the same positions for the same birth details. Accuracy depends far more on your birth time being right than on which site you use.
Can I make a kundli without a birth time?
You can make a Moon-based chart that usually gives the right rashi. The nakshatra and dasha dates may be off, because the Moon changes nakshatra about once a day. Lagna and houses need the birth time.
Is kundli and janam patri the same?
Yes. Kundli, kundali, janam kundli, janam patri and birth chart all mean the chart of planetary positions at your birth.
Can I download my kundli as a PDF for free?
Many apps let you download or share a basic kundli PDF free. Detailed, multi-page reports are usually paid.
