What is a Birth Chart (D1 Rasi Chart)?

Birth Chart (D1 Rasi Chart) is the fundamental chart in Vedic astrology showing the exact positions of planets at your time of birth. It reveals your overall life path, personality, physical body, and general tendencies.

What is Chalit Chart (Bhava Chart)?

Chalit Chart (also called Bhava Chart) shows the actual house placements of planets based on the Bhava Madhya (mid-point) system. It differs from Rasi chart as planets may move to adjacent houses depending on their exact longitude.

How to read my Birth Chart?

Start with the 1st house (Ascendant/Lagna) which represents yourself. Then examine each house for its matters: 2nd house wealth, 3rd house siblings, 4th house home, 5th house children, 7th house marriage, 10th house career, etc.

Why is Chalit Chart important?

Chalit Chart is crucial for accurate house-wise predictions. If a planet is near the cusp (border) of two houses, its effects may manifest in the adjacent house rather than where it appears in Rasi chart.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Birth Chart and Chalit Chart?

Birth Chart shows planets in zodiac signs (Rasi), while Chalit Chart shows planets in actual houses (Bhava). In Chalit Chart, planets near house cusps (within 5°) may shift to adjacent houses, providing more precise house-wise predictions.

Which chart is more accurate, Birth Chart or Chalit Chart?

Both are accurate for different purposes. Birth Chart is essential for overall life analysis and planetary strengths. Chalit Chart is more accurate for house-specific predictions and timing events. Most astrologers use both charts in conjunction.

Why do planets shift houses in Chalit Chart?

Planets shift because house boundaries (bhava sandhi) are calculated based on the mid-point between house cusps, not at exact sign boundaries. If a planet is closer to the next house's mid-point, it belongs to that house in Chalit system.

What is the importance of Ascendant (Lagna)?

Ascendant is the most important point in the chart. It sets the entire house system and represents your physical body, personality, and overall approach to life. The 1st house is always the Ascendant house.

How do I know if my planets have shifted in Chalit Chart?

Our calculator shows a "Planets that Shifted" section in Chalit Chart analysis, listing which planets changed houses and their new positions. You can also compare the two charts visually.

Can I use this chart for predictions?

Yes, but for accurate predictions, you need knowledge of Vedic astrology including house lords, planetary aspects, yogas, and dashas. For personal guidance, consult a professional astrologer.
