FAQ

Short answers before you trust your birth details to us.

What SahiKundli is, how it computes your chart, what the reports cover, and how payment, privacy, and delivery work. No mystique, no pressure.

Trust starts before checkout.

The useful questions are answered openly: calculation method, source texts, AI boundaries, refunds, delivery, and what we will never publish in a reading.

Trust & accuracy

Are these charts actually accurate?+

Yes, and you can check the math. Every chart is computed with the Swiss Ephemeris, the same planetary data NASA JPL uses, and the Lahiri ayanamsa, the Indian government standard. We show the calculation, not just the verdict.

My old janampatri shows a different ascendant. Which is right?+

First compare the birth date, recorded time, place, timezone, ayanamsa, and house method. A hand-made or computerised chart can be wrong if any of these inputs or calculation choices are wrong. SahiKundli uses the Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri ayanamsa and shows its method openly, so the difference can be traced instead of guessed.

Is Vedic astrology scientifically proven?+

The astronomy is measurable. The Jyotish interpretations come from named classical texts. Controlled studies have not established those interpretations as scientifically validated predictions. We still answer what the chart supports, including stronger and slower periods, but we do not present an outcome as guaranteed.

Do I need to believe in astrology for this to be useful?+

No. You can verify the chart calculation and see the classical source behind the interpretation. The report says what the chart supports and where the signal is weak. It does not ask you to accept a guaranteed fate.

How are you different from other astrology apps?+

We don't run ads or bury the basics behind a paywall, and we don't use dosha-fear to drive purchases. Every interpretation traces to a named classical text, not anonymous "ancient wisdom." We monetise depth, never anxiety.

Will you tell me when something bad will happen, like death or illness?+

No. Some classical texts claim to time death or grave illness; we don't publish readings like that, on any chart, at any price. A reading should help you live well, not hand you a fear to carry.

Do you use AI to write the readings? Can I trust what it says?+

AI does not calculate your chart. Planetary positions, houses, dashas, yogas, doshas, and other chart signals are computed first. AI then explains those supplied facts and answers the report questions. Before delivery, the result goes through consistency, citation, voice, timing, and safety checks. If it contradicts the computed chart, delivery is blocked.

Are the readings personalised, or the same generic text everyone gets?+

Every reading is built from your exact chart. We deliberately avoid the vague statements that fit almost anyone. If a sentence would not change for a different chart, it does not belong in your report.

How it works

What do you need from me to make a chart?+

Your date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Time and place together fix the ascendant and the houses, which is what makes a chart yours rather than generic.

What if I don't know my exact birth time?+

We label every chart's confidence as exact, approximate, or unknown, and tell you which parts of the reading stay reliable when the time is uncertain. We won't pretend a fuzzy birth time gives a precise chart.

Can I get a chart for a family member or someone else?+

Yes. You can compute a chart for anyone whose birth details you have, for yourself or for someone in your family.

Is there an app for iOS or Android?+

Not yet. SahiKundli is currently web-only and works well on mobile browsers — no installation needed. iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.

Which ayanamsa and house system do you use?+

Lahiri ayanamsa, the Indian government standard, and whole-sign houses, the system the classical texts assume. Our methodology pages explain each choice and why we made it.

What texts do your interpretations come from?+

Named classical Sanskrit texts: Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and Saravali as the spine, extended by Phaladeepika, Laghu Parashari, Brihat Jataka, Jataka Parijata, Uttara Kalamrita, Chamatkar Chintamani, and Prashna Marga. We name the text, translator or edition, chapter, and shloka where the source allows it. You can see the source method on our methodology pages.

Products & pricing

What do I get for free?+

Your full natal chart, the Panchanga, and 27 free calculation tools are all free — no account needed. The free tools cover planet sign calculators, dosha checks, timing tools, numerology, and live planetary positions. The paid reports add in-depth interpretation.

What reports do you offer?+

SahiPatri (₹399) is your computed Janampatri. SahiNow (₹999) reads your current phase and the next 12 months. SahiVarsh (₹999) is the fuller one-year timing report: four quarters, 12 month pages, dasha, transits, and domain windows. SahiDisha (₹399) reads education path and career direction. SahiJiva (₹399) reads soul and character through Jaimini. SahiAnk (₹399) is the Vedic numerology reading. SahiRatna (₹399) covers gems, colours, and rudraksha.

The three focused life reports are SahiCareer, SahiRishta, and SahiMoney (₹399 each). The older SahiLife Synthesis and SahiComplete premium reports are no longer sold for new purchases.

Can I find out what's coming in the next few months?+

Start with SahiNow (₹999) when you want the current phase and the immediate year-ahead panel. Choose SahiVarsh (₹999) when you want the fuller one-year planning report: four quarters, 12 month pages, domain timing windows, dasha, transits, and evidence.

Which report should I start with?+

Start with the question you need answered. Choose SahiNow for the present phase. Choose SahiVarsh for the next 12 months in detail. Choose SahiDasha for the next three years. Choose SahiDisha for education or professional direction. Choose SahiCareer, SahiRishta, SahiMoney, SahiHealth, SahiKarma, SahiMatch, SahiJiva, SahiRatna, or SahiAnk when the question is specific.

Why are SahiLife Synthesis and SahiComplete no longer sold?+

We are rebuilding premium reports around computed density, auditability, timing forecasts, and complete life readings instead of very long generated prose. Existing delivered PDFs still work from their report links; new purchases are paused for those older premium products.

Is this a subscription?+

No. Every report is a one-time purchase. There is no recurring billing.

Will I get a report I can keep?+

Yes. The full paid report is delivered as a PDF you can keep, print, or share. The private report link is sent by email and, when you choose it at checkout, by WhatsApp.

Can I ask the report my own question?+

Reports that show the question box let you ask your most pressing query or queries, up to 100 words. The report reads the natal chart first and answers what you asked last. If the answer differs from the broader natal picture, it must name and explain the difference. Any query-specific upaay is kept separate from the natal upaay so the two are not confused or repeated.

Payment & refunds

How do I pay?+

UPI, debit cards, credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Diners), and international payments are all accepted. Payments are processed securely via Razorpay.

What's your refund policy?+

A report is refundable only if it has not been delivered. Once a report is generated and delivered, the work is complete, so delivered reports are not refundable.

My payment went through but my report did not arrive. What do I do?+

Reports are generated within a few minutes of payment, and your report page updates on its own as soon as it is ready. If something goes wrong, your payment is recorded and we will make it right. Reach us through our contact page and we will sort it out.

How long does a report take?+

Usually a few minutes, with deeper reports taking longer. The report page checks for you and shows the PDF link as soon as it is ready, so you do not need to refresh.

Data & privacy

What happens to my birth data?+

Your birth data is never sold or shared, and you can request deletion at any time. See our privacy page for details.

Do I need to create an account?+

No. You don't need an account. Your report is delivered to you at a private link tied to your purchase.

Can I delete my data?+

Yes. You can request deletion at any time and we honour it. Reach us through our contact page and we will remove your data.

Support

How do I contact you?+

Through our contact page, or by email at [email protected]. We read everything that comes in.

Can I talk to a real astrologer?+

SahiKundli is self-serve by design. We do not offer consultations. You get the full reading, computed and cited, without booking anyone's time. If you have questions about your reading or the platform, write to [email protected] and we respond.

I think something in my chart or report looks wrong. What should I do?+

Tell us. Our methodology is published openly and every interpretation is cited to its classical source, so problems can be traced. Reach us through our contact page with your report ID (shown at the top of your report), your details and what looks off, and we will look into it.
