A kundli is a snapshot of the sky at your birth. It is divided into 12 houses, each representing an area of life - self, wealth, siblings, family, children, health, marriage, career and more. The planets sit in these houses and signs, creating a unique map of your life.
Vedic astrology uses 9 grahas - Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangal), Mercury (Budh), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), Rahu and Ketu. Each planet rules specific qualities: Sun rules authority, Moon rules mind, Mars rules courage, Venus rules love and Saturn rules discipline.
The zodiac has 12 rashis (signs) - Aries to Pisces - and 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions). Your Moon sign and birth nakshatra are especially important in Vedic astrology because the Moon governs the mind and emotions.
