Questions

Frequently asked questions

If something here is unclear or you cannot find your question, write to us — we would rather answer than have you guess.

Accounts, pricing and privacy

The practical questions.

Do I need an account to use the site?

No. Kundli generation, horoscope matching, panchang, rahu kaal, muhurat and the daily horoscopes are all free with no account at all. An account only matters for the astrologer chat, where it raises your free allowance and saves your birth chart so you do not re-enter it each time.

What does a free account actually give me?

10 questions a month with the AI astrologer, resetting on the 1st, plus your saved birth chart and your report history. The 5 questions you can ask before signing up are a trial and do not count against the 10.

How do you calculate the charts?

Planetary positions come from a deterministic astronomical engine using the Lahiri ayanamsa — the same inputs always produce the same chart. The AI reads and explains that chart; it never generates a position, a dasha date or a degree. This matters because a language model asked to produce planetary degrees will produce plausible wrong ones.

Can I cancel a subscription, and what happens to my access?

You can cancel at any time from your account page, which opens the Stripe billing portal. Access continues to the end of the period you have already paid for; nothing is cut off early and there is no retention flow to click through.

What happens to my birth details?

Your chart is only stored if you choose to save it to an account. You can delete your saved chart, or your entire account and all its data, from the account page. The site is operated by AHUJAS LLC, a California company, and the full terms are on the legal page.

Is any of this a prediction of my future?

No, and we say so throughout rather than in small print. A kundli is a map of a moment — the sky at your birth — read through a tradition that disagrees with itself in many places. Where classical sources conflict we name the conflict instead of picking the flattering reading, and nothing here is a substitute for medical, legal or financial advice.

Asking an AI astrologer

Ask an astrologer

How the consultation works.

Is the astrology consultation free?

You get 5 free questions with no account at all, and 10 free questions every calendar month with a free account, resetting on the 1st. Beyond that there is a $2.50 single session (15 questions, valid 24 hours, nothing recurring), or $16 a month and $160 a year, which allow 700 questions a month and up to 100 in any one day. You never need to pay to try it.

What can I ask about?

The consultation is strongest on relationships, marriage prospects, career direction, timing questions tied to your dasha periods, and making sense of what your chart actually says. Answers are drawn from your own birth chart — your Lagna, Moon sign, nakshatra, planetary placements and running dasha — rather than generic sun-sign writing.

What won’t it answer?

It will not predict death or lifespan, diagnose or advise on medical conditions, predict pregnancy or a baby’s gender, or answer questions aimed at harming someone. It also will not tell you a dosha has ruined your life or that a remedy must be bought to avert disaster — fear-marketing is the norm in this industry and we don’t do it. For anything involving your health or a crisis, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional.

Do I need my exact birth time?

It helps considerably. The Lagna (rising sign) changes roughly every two hours, so an approximate time gives an approximate ascendant. Even without a time, your Moon sign, nakshatra and dasha timeline are still calculated accurately, and the consultation works from those.

Is my conversation stored?

No. The consultation lives only in your browser and is never stored on our servers. If you have an account we save the birth details you provide so your chart can be recalled on a later visit — and you can delete those at any time from your account page.

Is this a real astrologer?

It is an AI trained to consult in the Vedic tradition, working from chart positions computed deterministically with the Lahiri ayanamsa — the same numbers a human astrologer would calculate. It is offered for entertainment and reflection, for users 18 and over. If you want a human, our astrologer directory lists practitioners you can book directly.

Kundli matching and rishtas

My Rishtas

Compatibility and match-making.

Is My Rishtas free?

Yes — completely. You can save up to 25 rishtas per family profile and up to 3 profiles per account, with the full Guna Milan computed on every one. There is no paid tier, no trial, and no card required.

How many gunas are needed for marriage?

Traditionally 18 out of 36 is treated as the minimum for a workable match, 24 and above as good, and above 30 as excellent. Below 18 is usually read as needing careful thought rather than as an automatic no — and many long marriages sit below it. The number is a starting point for discussion, not a pass mark.

What if I don’t know the exact birth time?

You can still run the match. Guna Milan is computed from the Moon’s nakshatra, and the Moon moves through roughly one nakshatra a day, so an approximate time usually gives a reliable score. Manglik status depends on the ascendant, which does shift every couple of hours, so treat that part as indicative when the time is uncertain.

Can I share a rishta’s match with family?

Yes. Each rishta has a WhatsApp share that sends a link to the full koota breakdown, and you can share the whole ranked list as a summary. Both carry names, scores and stages only — birth details are never included in a share.

Who can see my list?

Only you. Your profiles, rishtas, notes and stages are tied to your account, are never indexed by search engines, and are not shared with anyone. Deleting a rishta or a profile removes its stored birth details.

Does this replace an astrologer?

No. The scores here are computed deterministically from both charts and are the same numbers any astrologer would arrive at, but a family astrologer reads far more than the koota total — dasha periods, house placements, and the specific circumstances of both families. This tool is for organising and comparing a long search; a consultation is for judgment on a shortlist.

Wedding planning

Wedding Planner

Dates, muhurat and logistics.

Is the wedding planner free?

Yes, entirely. You can plan up to 3 weddings per account with the full checklist, budget sheet, guest list, vendor tracker and event schedule. There is no paid tier, no trial and no card required.

When should I start planning an Indian wedding?

Six to twelve months before the wedding date is typical, and the first decisions are the ones everything else depends on: fixing the date, agreeing a budget between both families, and booking the venue, caterer, photographer and pandit. In peak season — roughly November to February — good venues in the metros are taken eight to twelve months ahead.

What does an Indian wedding checklist need to cover?

More than one day. A full Indian wedding usually spans roka, engagement, haldi, mehndi, sangeet, the wedding and a reception, each with its own venue, vendors, guest list and outfits. Our checklist comes pre-loaded with 31 tasks organised into five countdown phases, from six-plus months out to wedding week, and you can add your own.

How do I budget for an Indian wedding?

Guest count and number of functions set most of the total before any vendor is booked, because catering is priced per plate and venues by capacity. A typical split runs catering 25–35%, venue 15–20%, decor 10–15%, outfits 10–15%, jewelry 10–20%, photography 5–8%. The planner comes with 16 Indian budget categories and estimated-versus-actual columns, and planners usually hold 8–10% back as buffer.

Can I choose my wedding date from a muhurat calendar?

Yes. The planner counts down from whatever date you set, and the vivah muhurat calendar lists traditionally auspicious dates so the countdown starts from one. Muhurat dates are traditional guidance for choosing among dates, not a prediction about the marriage.

Can I share the plan with my family?

Yes. You can send pending tasks with the countdown, or budget totals, to the family WhatsApp group in one tap. Shares carry task names, counts and totals only — your guest list and individual guest details are never included.

Do I still need a wedding planner if I use this?

That depends on scale. Many families run a wedding themselves with a good checklist and a clear budget; larger or destination weddings usually justify a professional. Even with a full-planning firm, the family should keep its own master view of guests, budget and decisions — which is what this tool is for. Our city directory covers hiring a planner, what they cost and what to ask.
