Birth chart reading

What it answers

• Who you are

  Your nature, build and temperament, from your rising sign out.

• Work and money

  The work that suits you, and how money comes to you.

• Marriage

  Marriage and partnership, from your seventh house and your navamsha.

• Family

  Your parents, brothers and sisters, and children, each from its own chart.

• The years ahead

  Whose period you are in, what changes when, and the date each period begins.

• Remedies

  For the harder placements, the remedies the classical texts give.

Who it is for

• You know your birth time, and want your whole chart read, not one line of it.
• You are at a turning point — work, marriage, a move — and want to see what the coming years hold.
• You have been told about a dosha or Sade Sati, and want it read in your whole chart.

• Lagna · Nakshatra · AtmakarakaWho this chart describesYour chart describes someone built for endurance and self-management, with a mind steadier than anything else in the chart, and a hard edge under an easy surface. Capricorn lagna in Shravana; Moon exalted, rank 1 of 7You organise before you feel. Your rising sign is the sign of structure and patience, and its star, Shravana, is the star of listening: you take things in, weigh them and act late rather than early. The planet that rules you works out of sight, so you do your real work privately and are often more capable than you appear. Lagna 17°54′ Capricorn, Shravana pada 3 (deity Vishnu, lord Moon); lord Saturn in the 12thWho this chart describes →
• Vimshottari dashaYour timelineYou are 14 months from the end of the longest chapter of your life so far, the eighteen years that began when you were nineteen. On 25 Dec 2027 the next one begins: sixteen years under the planet the tradition counts most auspicious, strong in your chart, with a strong start, a hard middle in the early 2030s, and a good last stretch. Rahu period 25 Dec 2009 – 25 Dec 2027; Jupiter period 25 Dec 2027 – 25 Dec 2043, Jupiter exalted in the 7thYour birth time is on record to the minute, so these dates hold to within about a day and a half. A second timing method, used as a cross-check, sees it differently: it marks your years to December 2028 as testing and those from 2029 to 2035 as productive, close to the reverse of the picture below. ±1.5 days per minute; Yogini Ulka (Saturn) to December 2028, then Siddha (Venus) to Dec 2035Your timeline →
• Sade SatiSaturn's seven-and-a-half-year passage over your Moon, the slow cycle the tradition treats as the most testing, comes three times in your life. The first, from seven to fourteen, is long behind you. The second runs from June 2027 to July 2034, at thirty-six to forty-three. The third runs from sixty-six to seventy-three. Natal Moon in Taurus; cycles 1998–2005, 2027–2034, 2057–2064Your first one fell mostly while your strongest planet was running your life, which cushioned it. If your school years from 1998 to 2005 felt strained, that was the passage. Moon period to Dec 2002 inside the 1998–2005 cycleSade Sati →
