What you get for free
A Veas birth chart is the full Vedic reading, not a teaser. Once you enter your birth details, the dashboard generates:
- Your Sidereal Sun, Moon, and Rising signs — the real placements in the night sky on the day you were born, calculated with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
- The 12 houses with their lords and the planets that occupy them, so you can see where each area of life sits in your chart.
- Your Moon nakshatra and pada, the lunar mansion (out of 27) that gives Vedic astrology so much of its emotional and relational nuance.
- Your current dasha and antardasha — the planetary periods running through your life right now and the themes they tend to surface.
- AI Jyotish interpretations you can talk to, not a static PDF. Ask follow-up questions in plain language.
How it is calculated
Most free birth-chart tools use approximate ephemeris tables and the Tropical zodiac, then label the result “Vedic”. Veas does the opposite. We use NASA JPL ephemeris data for planetary positions, and we use the Sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa. That ayanamsa accounts for the precession of the equinoxes, the slow wobble of Earth's axis that makes the Tropical zodiac drift away from the actual stars at about one degree every seventy-two years. The result is a chart that matches the night sky, not a chart frozen in 200 BCE.
Three things you will need
- Date of birth. Day, month, year.
- Time of birth. As precise as you can. The Rising sign changes roughly every two hours, so a five-minute difference can change which sign was rising and shift every house in your chart. If your time is a guess, the chart still works — just know the Ascendant might move once you confirm it.
- Place of birth. Just the city is enough. Veas handles the coordinates, time zone, and local Sidereal time.
How to read your chart once it arrives
Start with the three placements people usually want first: your Sidereal Sun, your Moon, and your Rising sign. The Sun, Moon & Rising in the real sky article walks through what each of them governs in Vedic terms. Then look at your Moon nakshatra — this is where Jyotish gets specific in a way Western astrology does not, and the 27 nakshatras article is the right place to start. From there, your Rising sign and house blueprint shows you how the chart maps to lived experience.
You do not need to memorize anything. Ask the AI any question about your chart — “what does Saturn in my 7th house mean?”, “am I in a major dasha shift?”, “why does my Moon feel different from my Sun?” — and it will explain in language grounded in the actual placements.
