Questions

Is Jyotishya free?

Yes. The weekly horoscope, kundali chart, Navamsa and the Vedic, Western and Chinese comparison are all free, with no sign-up.

What does Jyotishya mean?

Jyotishya (pronounced jyo-tish-ya) is a form of jyotisha, the Sanskrit name for the traditional study of the heavens, covering both astronomy and astrology. It comes from jyotis, meaning light or heavenly body.

What do I need to get my weekly horoscope?

Your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. The time matters most: it sets your ascendant (lagna), which shifts about every two hours.

How is each day rated in Vedic astrology?

Two rules, applied to the Moon at noon. Tara bala: count from your birth nakshatra to the day's nakshatra; the count mod 9 gives one of nine taras, scored +1, 0, −1 or −2. Chandra gochara: the Moon's sign counted from your natal Moon, scored +1, 0, −1 or −2. The sum gives Strong (+2 or more) to Weak (−2 or less). Tap any day to see the arithmetic.

What is Chandrashtama?

Chandrashtama is the rule for when the transiting Moon is in the 8th sign counted from your natal Moon sign. It happens for about two and a half days each month. In Jyotishya's Vedic score it counts −2, the lowest value in the Moon-from-Moon rule.

Can I see my kundali in South Indian style?

Yes. Your chart can be shown in North Indian (diamond) or South Indian (square) style, as the birth chart (Rasi) or the Navamsa (D9). Your choice is remembered on your device.

Why is my sign different in Vedic and Western astrology?

Vedic astrology measures the zodiac against the stars (sidereal), while Western astrology measures it from the spring equinox (tropical). The two have drifted about 24 degrees apart, so many people's Sun or Moon sign changes between them.

What is BaZi in Chinese astrology?

BaZi, or the Four Pillars of Destiny, describes your birth by year, month, day and hour, each as a heavenly stem and earthly branch. Your day stem is your Day Master, read through the Five Elements.

Is my birth data stored or shared?

No. All calculations run in your browser. If you choose "remember my details", they are saved only on your own device and can be deleted at any time. If you agree when asked, Google Analytics counts page views, but it never receives birth details, places or ratings. The site shows ads from Google AdSense: Google's ad script runs on the page under its policy against collecting personal data, and your birth details are never sent to it or to anyone else.

Does Jyotishya interpret my chart?

No. Jyotishya applies each tradition's rules exactly and shows the working, but it doesn't tell you what your chart means or what will happen. There are no character readings, advice or predictions; traditional attributes appear only as labelled reference data. What you make of the results is up to you.

Does moving to another country change my results?

Your daily scores don't change: none of the three day ratings uses houses from the ascendant, and planet positions are the same from anywhere on Earth. What does change is the relocated chart: the same birth moment with the ascendant recomputed for where you live now, so planets move to different houses. That is a modern Western technique: classical Vedic texts keep the birth chart fixed, BaZi has no equivalent, and it has no demonstrated validity. Jyotishya shows it with the arithmetic, labelled that way. Each day is also read at noon where you are, so the timing follows you.

What does Jyotishya leave out?

Several classical refinements, on purpose. Ashtakavarga is shown in each day's working for reference but isn't added to the score. Shadbala (planetary strength) and vedha (transit obstruction) aren't computed. Your dasha periods are shown but don't change the daily rating: the texts give no fixed formula for weighting a day by the running period, so any weighting would be our invention rather than the tradition's rule. Each extra factor also makes a rating harder to test, and the quick check and blind diary are there to test the rules as they stand.

Does astrology actually work?

Controlled studies have not found predictive power in astrology. Jyotishya is a science project: it applies each system's rules exactly, shows the formula behind every score, and doesn't interpret the results. The quick "how was yesterday?" check and the optional blind test let you measure each system against your own days.
