Creating a kundli is an important task to carry out after a person is born. It helps one deal with several issues and obstacles in life, and holds remedies and solutions to various challenges. Let's read its importance and how it plays an unparalleled role when predicting the future:

In Hinduism, no auspicious event related to marriage takes place before matching the kundlis and calculating the gunas. Also, it reveals about one's marital life, spouse, the understanding you both share with each other, and possible troubles which can take place.

  3. It guides you through your traits, characteristics, shortcomings, and prowess, which makes up your whole personality and reveals your true self.
  4. You can analyse the kundli to predict about your professional life, business ventures, finances, wealth and investment and know how favourable or unfavourable circumstances will be while making economic decisions.
  5. A kundali points out the preferable career choices one can make for a fruitful and prosperous future. It decodes the kind of career which will suit your efforts and intellect.
  6. A birth chart informs you about your academic life, creativity, enemies, diseases, and children. Know how successful your academic life will be, your status of opponents and enemies, health factor and much more.

Understanding the Houses and their Significance: A kundali has 12 houses, which signify several aspects of the life of the native along with physical traits, interests, and features. Hence, any planet or sign posited in a house influences its factors and offers results accordingly. As mentioned above, the roman numerals denote the house number, and its factors are stated as follows:

  1. First House: physical features and traits, self, characteristics, personality
  2. Second House: wealth, primary knowledge, finances, family
  3. Third house: communication, skills, hobbies, efforts, younger siblings

  12. Twelfth House: expenditure

Identify The Nine Planets in Your Kundali: At the time of your birth, the kundali captures and offers a pictorial representation of the position of planets and constellations. Hence, when learning to read a kundli, one must understand the abbreviated form of planets mentioned in the chart and their significance.

Kundli

In the kundali given above, the first house sees the placement of Cancer, number 4, along with Mercury (Me), Rahu (Ra), and Sun (Su). Therefore, it will chalk out the results accordingly. Below mentioned are the planets, their abbreviated form and Vedic significance:

  1. Sun (Su): Ruler, source of energy and life, king of all planets, masculine in nature
  2. Moon (Mo): Mind, inner self, feminine in nature, intellect, fertility, good memory
  3. Mercury (Me): Speech, communication, calculative, witty, intellectual
  4. Mars (Ma): Courage, passion, physical strength, short-tempered, argumentative, daring, signifies younger siblings
  5. Venus (Ve): Materialistic pleasure, love, romance, beauty, music, marriage, friendship, art
  6. Jupiter (Ju): Spirituality, higher education, research
  7. Saturn (Sa): Land, property, secret, misfortune, hard work, sorrow, prestige, name and fame
  8. Rahu (Ra): Foreigners, international travel, grandparents, theft, gambling, drinking, over-ambitious, undiagnosed health problems, loss of reputation-finance
  9. Ketu (Ke): Grandparents, spiritual inclination, superstitions, electronics

Planetary Exaltation & Debilitation: After this, you must figure out which planet is in exaltation or debilitation. In astrology, Exaltation is a state when the influence of a planet posited in a particular sign elevates, i.e. both of their natural harmony syncs and the outcome tends to be favourable. Hence, in the below kundali, Sun is placed in Aries, number 1, and exalted.

Kundli

On the other hand, the state of agitation formed for the planet when placed with any sign is known as Debilitation. Here, the influence of the planet weakens, and the effects can be unfavourable. Knowing this gives the native a chance to understand the planetary signs, their position, and overall impact on their kundli. Below is a table explaining the planets, their ruling, exalted and debilitated signs. According to the kundali mentioned below, the Moon is placed in Scorpio zodiac sign, number 8, and debilitated.

Kundli

Planet Ruling Sign Exalted Sign Debilitated Sign
Sun Leo Aries Libra
Moon Cancer Taurus Scorpio
Venus Taurus, Libra Pisces Virgo
Mars Aries, Scorpio Capricorn Cancer
Saturn Aquarius, Capricorn Libra Aries
Jupiter Sagittarius, Pisces Cancer Capricorn
Mercury Gemini, Virgo Virgo Pisces
Rahu - - -

Following these steps, you can easily understand and read a kundli. Although there are various details needed to be kept in mind when evaluating a kundali, but by following the aforementioned steps you can get a quick and general insight about your life.
