How HoroscopeDoc Works
Free Birth Chart (Kundali)
Your birth chart is calculated using the Swiss Ephemeris — the same astronomical engine used by NASA and professional astrologers worldwide. We use the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri Ayanamsa, which differs from Western (tropical) astrology by approximately 24°.
Enter your exact date, time, and city of birth to receive positions for all 9 Grahas (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) across the 12 Bhavas (houses). The more precise your birth time, the more accurate your Ascendant (Lagna) and house placements.
Yoga & Dosha Analysis
Unlike most apps that use AI to guess yogas, HoroscopeDoc calculates them deterministically using strict Parashari rules against your actual planetary positions. Every yoga and dosha is verified planet-by-planet.
We check for: Gajakesari Yoga (Jupiter in kendra from Moon), Budhaditya Yoga (Sun-Mercury conjunction with combustion check), all 5 Pancha Mahapurusha yogas, Dhana Yogas, Mangal Dosha (with cancellation rules), and Kaal Sarp Dosha (strict planet-by-planet verification).
Vimshottari Dasa Timeline
The Vimshottari Dasa system is Vedic astrology's primary timing tool. It divides your life into planetary periods (Mahadasa) lasting 6-20 years each, with sub-periods (Antardasa) and sub-sub-periods (Pratyantardasa) providing precise timing for life events.
Your Dasa sequence is calculated from your Moon's Nakshatra position at birth. HoroscopeDoc maps your complete 120-year Dasa roadmap with exact date ranges for each period.
Personalized Compatibility Check NEW
Go beyond generic sun-sign matching. Enter your partner's birth details and our system calculates real compatibility using both complete birth charts — element harmony, Nakshatra compatibility, 7th house analysis, and Dasa period synchronization.
Daily Personalized Horoscope PREMIUM
Not a generic "Aries: be careful today" prediction. Your daily horoscope is generated from your exact birth chart, current Dasa/Bhukti period, and today's planetary transits. It covers love, career, health, and finance with specific actionable guidance.
Readings refresh daily at midnight and are cached — so it uses AI once per day, not every visit.
10-Year Detailed Forecast PREMIUM
AI analyzes your Dasa timeline, planetary transits, and yoga activations to forecast the next 10 years — career peaks, relationship windows, financial cycles, health periods, and spiritual growth phases. Each year gets specific predictions tied to your exact Antardasa periods.
Past Event Validation
Most astrology apps just predict and hope you believe them. We do it differently. Our AI identifies 20 major life events from your past 5 years — job changes, relationships, health events, relocations — based on your exact Dasa periods. You confirm each one to calibrate accuracy before we forecast your future.
4 Chart Visualization Styles
View your Rashi chart in the format you're familiar with: South Indian (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala), North Indian (Delhi, UP, Punjab, Gujarat), East Indian (Bengal, Odisha), or Sri Lankan (Sinhala Jyotish with Sinhala script labels). Switch between styles instantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is my birth data private?
Yes. Your birth details are stored securely on our servers and used only to generate your chart. We do not share, sell, or expose personal data to third parties.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Go to your Dashboard → click your name in the bottom-left → click "Manage" → Cancel Subscription. You keep access until the end of your billing period. You can also manage your subscription directly through PayPal.
Why is my Vedic sign different from my Western sign?
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac (based on actual star positions), while Western uses tropical (based on seasons). There's a ~24° difference called Ayanamsa. This means your Vedic Sun sign may be one sign behind your Western sign.
How accurate is the birth time requirement?
The more precise your birth time, the better. Even a 5-minute difference can change your Ascendant (Lagna). If you don't know your exact time, check your birth certificate or hospital records. If unavailable, use sunrise time as an approximation.
