Choose the question you want answered
Go directly to a live calculator for today's answer, or open the guide when you want to understand the method.
Today: horoscope, rashi and planetary weather
Start with the calculated daily forecast, then use the sign and transit guides to understand why a reading changes.
Panchang, tithi and good time today
Use the live city calculation for the answer; the guides explain tithi, nakshatra, Choghadiya, Hora and muhurat without duplicating today's data.
Festival dates, lunar months and regional new year
Festival dates move because they follow tithi, a solar ingress or another stated anchor. Use the computed calendar instead of a date copied from an older year.
Marriage matching and compatibility
Choose birth-detail matching for the full Ashtakoota calculation or name matching when accurate birth details are not available.
Planets, houses, yoga and retrograde
Learn the structural parts of a Vedic chart before interpreting a single placement in isolation.
Find your rashi, lagna and nakshatra
These are different chart factors. Use birth time and place for lagna and nakshatra; name-based rashi is a traditional fallback, not a replacement.
