Understanding Your Kundli: A Beginner's Guide
By HinduVahini Team
A Kundli is a snapshot of the sky at your birth moment. It contains 12 houses representing different life areas, 9 planets influencing your destiny, and various yogas and doshas that shape your life path.
The Lagna (ascendant) is the most important point in your chart. It represents your personality and physical appearance. The Moon sign reveals your emotional nature, while the Sun sign shows your soul's purpose.
To read a Kundli, start with the Lagna chart. Identify which planets occupy which houses. Strong planets in kendras (1,4,7,10) and trikonas (1,5,9) generally give good results.
