Jyotish

Jyotish is Vedic astrology. It reads the positions of the planets and the moon's nakshatra at the time of birth to prepare a kundali (birth chart) and to judge compatibility, doshas and periods of life. This page lists the astrology tools: kundali, horoscope matching, the rashi and nakshatra finders and the doshas.

A birth chart needs the date, time and place of birth. The more exact the birth time, the more reliable the chart.
