FAQ

Questions, answered.

Accounts, birth time, what each reading includes, how accurate it is, and what credits pay for.

Getting started

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free one. Signing in lets us save every reading to your dashboard, so you can reopen a chart, download the PDF again or check another number without typing your details again. You can sign up with email or Google.

Is it really free?

The calculated readings are free: the Kundli PDF, the astro map, Kundli matching (Guna Milan), Life Map, Relocation, Vastu, the Accuracy check and Number Check. Only the optional AI features, such as Astro Chat and AI-written city readings, use credits. New accounts get free credits to try them. See pricing.

What do I need to enter?

Your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. Number Check also needs your name and the number you want to check. Kundli matching (Guna Milan) needs the same birth details for both people.

What if I don't know my exact birth time?

Planet signs will mostly still be right, because most planets move slowly. The ascendant (Lagna), the houses (bhavas) and the map lines depend on the exact time, and they shift noticeably with an error of even a few minutes. Check your birth certificate or hospital record first. If you only know it roughly, use the Accuracy check to test your chart against events you remember.

Can I read it in Hindi?

Yes. The Kundli PDF comes in Hindi or English, and the astro map and its AI features can be switched between the two.

The readings

What is astrocartography?

It projects your birth chart onto a world map. At the moment you were born, each planet was overhead somewhere on Earth, underfoot somewhere else, and rising or setting along two curves. Those four places are its MC, IC, AC and DC lines. The method was developed by the astrologer Jim Lewis in the 1970s. Read more in the astrocartography guide.

What is in the Vedic Kundli?

A full birth chart report of about 60 pages: ascendant (Lagna) and divisional charts, planet positions and nakshatras, Vimshottari dashas, yogas, doshas such as Manglik, a gemstone plan, remedies with their classical source, Kundli matching (Guna Milan) and numerology (Ank Shastra). You can read it online or download the PDF.

What does Number Check do?

It scores a mobile, vehicle or bank number from 0 to 100 against your birth number (Mulank, from the day you were born), destiny number (Bhagyank, from your full date of birth) and name number (Naam-ank). It shows which digits help you and which to avoid. If the score is low, it suggests ten better numbers for a goal you pick: overall, career, wealth, marriage, health or growth.

What is the difference between the Astro Map and the Life Map?

The Astro Map shows your planetary lines so you can look at any place on Earth. The Life Map ranks 103 cities for each area of life, combining nearby lines with your Kundli recast for each city.

What is a relocation chart?

Your birth chart cast again for another city, using the same birth moment. Planets stay in the same signs, but the ascendant (Lagna) and the houses (bhavas) they fall in can change. It shows how life in that city may differ from where you were born.

What does Kundli matching (Guna Milan) check?

The classical eight-factor (koota) match, scored out of 36 points (gunas). The Nadi and Bhakoot factors and Manglik dosha are also checked on their own. A score is a starting point for a conversation, not a verdict on a marriage.

Accuracy and method

How accurate are the calculations?

Planet positions come from precise astronomical calculations, accurate to a fraction of a second of arc. The limit is almost always the birth time. The Earth turns one degree every four minutes, so a four-minute error moves the MC and IC lines about 111 km at the equator.

Is it Vedic or Western?

The Kundli, dashas, Kundli matching (Guna Milan) and Vastu are Vedic: sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, whole-sign houses. The map lines come from each planet's actual position in the sky, so the zodiac choice does not change where they fall. The map includes Rahu and Ketu, which most Western tools leave out, and also Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Why does my chart differ from another app?

Usually one of three things: a different birth time or place, a different ayanamsa (we use Lahiri), or a different lunar node (we use the true node for Rahu). Check those three settings first.

Does AI make the predictions?

No. The chart, dashas, scores and lines are calculated with fixed rules, and the same details always give the same result. AI only writes plain-language explanations when you ask for one, and those are marked with their credit cost.

Are the predictions guaranteed?

No. Astrology describes tendencies. Use a reading alongside real factors such as jobs, visas, family and cost of living, and ask a qualified professional about medical, legal or financial decisions.

Credits and payments

What do credits pay for?

Only AI features: Astro Chat messages, AI readings for a city, AI city comparisons, AI analysis of your city rankings and AI business rankings. Each one shows its cost before it runs.

How much do credits cost?

Credits come in one-time packs, with no subscription. Current prices and the cost of each AI action are on the pricing page.

How do I pay?

Through Razorpay or Cashfree, which accept UPI, cards and net banking. Payment details go straight to them. We never see your card or bank details.

Can I get a refund?

Credits are delivered immediately, so purchases are generally final. If you were charged twice or charged without receiving credits, contact us with your order ID and we will fix it.

Privacy and your account

What happens to my birth details?

They are used to calculate your readings and are saved to your account so you can reopen them. We do not sell them or share them with advertisers. The details are in our privacy policy.

Is my data sent to an AI company?

Only when you run an AI feature. Then the chart data and question needed for that answer are sent to Anthropic, whose Claude models write the reply. The calculated readings never leave our servers.

How do I delete my data?

Open your dashboard. You can delete any saved reading there, or delete your whole account, which removes your profile, readings and credit history.
