Kundali is a Vedic astrology chart used predominantly in Indian cultures to divine the future and most importantly to predict a successful marriage via kundali milan. They are also used to help find the right business or career path in order for the person to be happy and prosperous. A Kundali is most often created at birth using the date and specific time of birth as well as the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the location of birth in order to make the Kundali as specific and accurate as possible. The family will then have the chart read to learn about the baby’s personality, character, their future career and relationships, as well as their prosperity in life.
A Kundali looks at the positions of seven major planets and two shadow planets, as well as the twelve astrological houses. The planets used are the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. Their placement in the Kundali gives either fortunate or unfortunate influence to the persons life and the Kundali gives a Vedic astrologer a roadmap showing where these influences may crop up in a persons life and in what way they may affect the persons life.
In Kundali each of the houses represents a different area of the human life from birth to death, for example the seventh house is the house of marriage. How the planets are aligned with these houses is how predictions are made. So, for example, a person will get married at a young age if the planet Mercury is found in the seventh house. Knowing this information gives the parents fair warning that they should expect their child to be married young and to be prepared for those expenses and changes. Conversely, if the Sun is found in the seventh house the child will not get married until they are over and this delay will also come with obstacles.
