FAQ About Tamil Jathagam (Tamil Horoscope)
What is a Tamil Jathagam?
A Tamil Jathagam is a traditional astrological birth chart created based on your exact date, time, and place of birth. It maps the planetary positions at your birth moment and is interpreted using time-tested Tamil astrology principles and the classical guide known as Jathaka Kurippu. Our calculations rely on Thirukkanitha Panchangam and Lahiri Ayanamsam for precision and authenticity.
Is this a genuine and accurate Tamil horoscope calculator?
Yes. Our Jathagam calculator follows traditional Tamil astrology rules and uses Thirukkanitha Panchangam and Lahiri Ayanamsam to ensure highly accurate horoscope generation.
Is this Jathagam explanation in English?
Absolutely. All chart interpretations and Jathagam concepts on this page are presented in clear English for accessibility. You also have the option to download a full Tamil PDF report if preferred.
What birth details are needed to generate my Jathagam?
You’ll need your date of birth, exact time of birth (with AM/PM), and place of birth (city, state, country). These details are critical for calculating accurate planetary placements and your rising sign (Lagna).
Why is the exact time of birth important?
Your birth time determines your ascendant (Lagna) and the specific house positions of planets in your chart. Even a small difference in minutes can change your horoscope interpretation significantly.
What are Rasi and Navamsa charts in Tamil astrology?
The Rasi chart maps planetary positions across the twelve zodiac signs at your birth. The Navamsa chart (D9 chart) offers deeper insights—especially into relationships, partnerships, and overall destiny—by further dividing each sign.
What are Dasa Bukthi periods and why are they important?
Dasa Bukthi periods are planetary cycles that affect various phases of life. Your Tamil Jathagam includes a full Dasa Bukthi timeline to help you understand when major life events and changes may occur, guiding personal and professional decisions.
Can this free Jathagam calculator be used for marriage compatibility?
While your personal Jathagam offers essential individual insights, marriage matching or Thirumana Porutham typically involves comparing two charts. This tool provides a solid foundation, which can be paired with a compatibility calculator or astrologer’s guidance.
