What Is a Jathagam (Birth Horoscope)?
Your jathagam is a map of the sky at the exact moment you were born — built from your birth date, time and place. It shows your lagna, rasi, nakshatra, planetary positions, the 12 houses and dasha-bhukti. It isn’t a document that fixes your future — it’s a guide that helps you understand your life a little more clearly.
Lagna (Ascendant)
The lagna is the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your exact birth time. It’s a starting point for understanding your personality and how you approach life.
Rasi (Moon Sign)
Your rasi is the sign the moon was in when you were born. It helps explain your mind, emotions and natural temperament.
Nakshatra
Out of the 27 nakshatras, this is the one the moon was in at your birth. It plays a big role in marriage matching and choosing auspicious timings.
Graha Nilai (Planetary Positions)
This shows which house and sign each planet — the sun, moon and every other planet — occupies in your chart.
12 Bhava (Houses)
The 12 houses in your chart each represent a part of life — family, career, relationships and more.
Dasha & Bhukti
Dasha-bhukti is a timeline showing which planet’s influence tends to be stronger during different periods of your life.
