Question 1

What is a Kundli (Janam Kundali)?

Accepted Answer

A Kundli, or Janam Kundali, is your Vedic birth chart — a map of where the Sun, Moon, planets and the ascendant (Lagna) were positioned at the exact moment and place you were born. Vedic astrology reads this chart to describe personality, relationships, career, timing of events, and remedies.

Question 2

How do I generate my Kundli for free on GrahAI?

Accepted Answer

Enter your name, date of birth, exact time of birth and birthplace on the Kundli page. GrahAI calculates your full birth chart instantly — planetary positions, Vimshottari Dasha periods, Yogas and Doshas — at no cost and without signup.

Question 3

What birth details do I need for an accurate Kundli?

Accepted Answer

You need your date of birth, your time of birth (as precise as possible), and your place of birth. The time and place matter most: the ascendant changes roughly every two hours, and the timezone is derived automatically from your birthplace, so the more accurate your birth time, the more accurate the chart.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

You can still see your Moon sign (Rashi), Nakshatra and most planetary placements, since those move slowly. Only the ascendant (Lagna) and house cusps depend on the exact time. If your birth time is uncertain, treat house-based and Lagna-based predictions as approximate, or use a known life-event to narrow it down.

Question 5

What is my Rashi and how do I find it?

Accepted Answer

Your Rashi is your Moon sign — the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at your birth. In Vedic astrology the Rashi (not the Sun sign) is the basis for daily Rashifal and most predictions. Generate your Kundli once and GrahAI shows your exact Rashi and Nakshatra.

Question 6

Why is Vedic Rashifal different from Western (Sun-sign) horoscopes?

Accepted Answer

Western horoscopes use the Sun sign and the tropical zodiac. Vedic astrology uses the Moon sign and the sidereal zodiac (corrected with the Lahiri ayanamsa), which aligns the signs with the actual constellations. This is why your Vedic Rashi is often one sign different from your Western Sun sign.

Question 7

How often is the daily Rashifal updated?

Accepted Answer

The daily Rashifal refreshes every day for all 12 Rashis, reflecting the current planetary positions for that date. There are dedicated daily pages for each sign in Hindi and English.

Question 8

How accurate is Kundli matching for marriage?

Accepted Answer

GrahAI uses the traditional 36-point Ashtakoot (Guna Milan) system, the most widely used method in Vedic marriage matching. It is astronomically calculated from both birth charts, so the Guna score and Dosha analysis are precise. Matching is a guidance tool for compatibility, not a verdict — many happy marriages have moderate scores.

Question 9

What is a good Guna score out of 36?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, 18 and above is considered acceptable, 25–32 is very good, and below 18 calls for closer analysis of the specific Gunas and any Doshas. The total alone is never the whole story — which Gunas match (and which do not) matters more than the number.

Question 10

What is Mangal Dosha (Manglik), and does it block marriage?

Accepted Answer

Mangal Dosha (being "Manglik") occurs when Mars sits in certain houses of the chart and is associated with friction in marriage. It does not block marriage — its effect is often reduced when both partners are Manglik or by specific remedies. GrahAI checks both charts for Mangal Dosha during matching.

Question 11

Is Kaal Sarp Dosha dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Kaal Sarp Dosha forms when all planets fall between Rahu and Ketu. Its reputation is more fearsome than its reality: traditionally it can bring delays or struggle in certain areas of life, but it is common and very manageable with awareness and remedies. It is not a curse or a danger.

Question 12

What is Sade Sati and how long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Sade Sati is the roughly seven-and-a-half-year period when Saturn transits the sign before, on, and after your Moon sign. It unfolds in three phases of about 2.5 years each. It is a period of hard work and maturing rather than simple misfortune, and its intensity depends on Saturn's placement in your own chart.

Question 13

Which gemstone should I wear?

Accepted Answer

The right gemstone depends on your own chart — usually the stone of a benefic or yoga-forming planet for your ascendant, not just your Rashi. Wearing the wrong stone can be counter-productive, so a gemstone should be chosen from your specific Kundli rather than generic sign-based advice.

Question 14

What is a planetary transit (Gochar) and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Gochar is the ongoing movement of planets relative to your birth chart. Major transits — like Saturn, Jupiter or Rahu-Ketu changing signs — time the themes you experience in a period. GrahAI keeps live transit analysis current to today's date for all 12 Rashis.

Question 15

How accurate is GrahAI's astrology?

Accepted Answer

Every chart is built from astronomically precise sidereal calculations using the Lahiri ayanamsa, with the timezone derived automatically from your birthplace — so the underlying planetary data matches established Vedic references. The calculations are exact; the interpretations are guidance meant to help you reflect and plan.

Question 16

Can AI really do Vedic astrology?

Accepted Answer

GrahAI separates the two layers: the chart is computed with classical astronomy and Vedic rules (no guessing), and AI is used to read that real chart and explain it in clear language, the way an experienced astrologer would. The AI never invents your planetary positions — it interprets the accurate ones.

Question 17

Is GrahAI free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — your full Kundli, daily Rashifal, Panchang, a Kundli matching score, and 3 AI Jyotish questions a day are free, with no signup required. Detailed multi-page reports and extra AI questions are optional paid add-ons.

Question 18

Is GrahAI available outside India, and in which languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrahAI serves India and the world, with automatic local currency for international visitors. Content and reports are available in 9 languages including English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam and Gujarati.

Question 19

Can I talk to an AI astrologer about my own birth chart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AI Jyotish chat is grounded in your own Kundli, so you can ask specific questions about your career, marriage, health or timing and get answers based on your actual planetary placements. The first 3 questions each day are free.

Question 20

Is my birth data private and safe?

Accepted Answer

Your birth details are used only to calculate your chart and personalise your readings. GrahAI does not sell your personal data. You can review exactly how information is handled in the privacy policy.

Question 21

Can I get an accurate Kundli if I was born outside India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GrahAI computes your Vedic chart for any birthplace on Earth — the exact coordinates and your real local timezone are resolved automatically, so a chart for someone born in New Jersey, London, Toronto or Dubai is as precise as one for a birth in India. It never assumes Indian Standard Time, which is the usual cause of wrong ascendants for births abroad.

Question 22

Will the chart be wrong because I don't have an Indian birth time?

Accepted Answer

No — the opposite. Your timezone is derived from your actual place of birth, so the Lagna and house cusps are correct for where you were truly born. Assuming IST for a foreign birth is what throws charts off elsewhere; GrahAI does not do that.

Question 23

Can I do Kundli matching when the two people were born in different countries?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each horoscope is calculated in its own birthplace and timezone, then matched on the 36-point Ashtakoot system with dosha analysis — so a cross-continent NRI match is computed correctly.

Question 24

Can I pay in US dollars or another currency?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Prices are shown in your local currency automatically, and you can pay securely by card, UPI or PayPal. Reports are delivered instantly online and by email — no trip to India required.
