What is a jathakam?
A jathakam is the Vedic birth chart that Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam families have written for every child: the rasi chakram with the lagnam, the Moon's rasi and janma nakshatram, and the nine grahas at the moment of birth. Elders consult it at naming, for marriage, before a griha pravesham and in difficult years. North India calls the same chart a kundli.
How to get your jathakam online
Sign up on Vamshavriksha and choose “Yes, my Jathakam”. Enter your date of birth, your time of birth as exactly as you know it, and your place of birth. Confirm it is you with Google sign-in, and your rasi chakram is drawn with a written reading. If the time is approximate, mark it so: the lagnam changes about every two hours, and the reading will say which parts depend on it.
Keep the family's jathakams together
Many families keep jathakams on palm leaf, in a grandparent's notebook or with the family purohit, and they are lost when people move. On Vamshavriksha each person's jathakam lives in the family tree, beside their spouse, parents and children. Each month you can get an email with your own month ahead and the key dates for your family.
Jathakam Compatibility for couples
Jathakam Compatibility reads a married couple's two charts side by side: Moon rasis and nakshatrams, the traditional kootas, Kuja dosha (Mangal dosha), and the dasa periods each of you is in. It explains what you share, where you may differ, practices for a harmonious home, and a timeline of the years ahead together.
Frequently asked questions
What is a jathakam?
A jathakam (also spelled jatakam; జాతకం in Telugu, ஜாதகம் in Tamil, ಜಾತಕ in Kannada, ജാതകം in Malayalam) is the Vedic birth chart: the rasi chakram showing the lagnam, the Moon's rasi and nakshatram, and the nine grahas at the moment and place of birth. It is the same chart North India calls a kundli.
How can I get my jathakam online for free?
Sign up on Vamshavriksha, choose "Yes, my Jathakam", and enter your date, time and place of birth. Confirm it is you with Google sign-in, and your rasi chakram is drawn with a written reading. It is free, with no paid reports.
Is the chart drawn in the South Indian style?
Yes. The rasi chakram is drawn in the South Indian square style, with the signs in fixed places and Mesham second from the top left, the way Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam families read it.
Does the jathakam show dasa and bhukti?
Yes. Vimshottari dasa periods are calculated from the Moon's nakshatram at birth: the mahadasa you are in, its bhukti (antardasa), the periods you have already lived, and the ones ahead with their dates.
Does it cover Elinati Shani and Ashtama Shani?
Yes. The year and month ahead show when Saturn is in its seven-and-a-half-year passage around your Moon (Elinati Shani in Telugu, Ezharai Sani in Tamil, Sade Sati in Hindi) or in the 8th from your Moon (Ashtama Shani).
Which ayanamsa is used?
The Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa with the sidereal zodiac, the standard for most panchangams and astrologers in South India. Planet positions are calculated astronomically for your birth time and place.
Can we see jathakam compatibility as a couple?
Yes, for married couples in your family tree. Jathakam Compatibility reads both charts together, including the traditional kootas, and explains what you share, where you may differ and the years ahead together, without reducing it to a score.
Can I keep my whole family's jathakams in one place?
Yes. Your jathakam lives in your family tree beside your spouse's, parents' and children's, so the family's charts are never lost in an old notebook again. Birth details stay visible only to the person, close family and the tree's editors.
Can I call it Kundli instead?
Yes. Vamshavriksha asks what you would like to call it, Jathakam or Kundli, and uses that word everywhere, including your monthly email.
