How to Read Your Kundli: Beginner’s Guide
Your Kundli, or birth chart, is the blueprint of your soul. It shows how the planets were positioned at the time of your birth and how their energies influence your life — from personality and career to love and destiny.
If you’ve ever wondered “What does my Kundli say about me?”, this simple guide will help you start reading it step by step.
If you want a deeper and more accurate understanding of your birth chart, a personalized kundli and horoscope reading can help you analyze planetary positions in detail.
Step 1: Understand the 12 Houses in Your Kundli
Your birth chart is divided into 12 sections called houses.
Each house represents a specific area of life:
- 1st House – Personality & self-image
- 2nd House – Wealth, family & speech
- 3rd House – Courage & communication
- 4th House – Home, emotions & mother
- 5th House – Education, children & creativity
- 6th House – Health & daily work
- 7th House – Marriage & partnerships
- 8th House – Transformation & secrets
- 9th House – Luck, religion & higher learning
- 10th House – Career & social status
- 11th House – Gains & desires
- 12th House – Spirituality & losses
Step 2: Identify Your Ascendant (Lagna)
The Ascendant or Lagna is the zodiac sign rising in the east when you were born.
It sets the foundation of your personality.
For example:
Aries Ascendant → confident, bold
Taurus Ascendant → calm, luxury-loving
Gemini Ascendant → expressive, adaptable
Knowing your lagna helps you understand how you respond to life situations.
Many beginners also prefer guidance through online tarot card reading to understand how current planetary energies are influencing their life.
Step 3: Study the Planets in Each House
Planets represent specific energies:
☀️ Sun – Confidence & soul purpose
🌙 Moon – Emotions & mind
♂️ Mars – Passion & courage
☿️ Mercury – Logic & communication
♃ Jupiter – Wisdom & fortune
♀️ Venus – Love & creativity
♄ Saturn – Discipline & karma
☊ Rahu – Ambition & obsession
☋ Ketu – Detachment & past life karma
Each planet’s placement in a house changes your life pattern.
For example, Venus in 7th house → harmonious marriage, love-filled life.
Step 4: Check Zodiac Signs in Each House
The 12 zodiac signs (Aries to Pisces) rule the 12 houses differently.
A Leo in the 10th house, for example, gives leadership and fame in career.
Look for signs where your planets sit — that shows your strengths and challenges.
Step 5: Combine the Story
Now, read your Kundli as a story:
Your Ascendant is the main character, the planets are supporting roles, and the houses are life themes.
Together, they create the movie of your destiny
Step 6: Learn with Expert Guidance
Even a simple Kundli can have multiple layers — Dasha periods, aspects, and planetary friendships.
