Rashifal for your Moon sign
Choose your Chandra Rashi and the period. Every reading is worked out from the actual transits of the grahas today, using the classical Gochara rules counted from the Moon sign, with a Nadi view of the same transits.
These are general readings for everyone born with the Moon in the chosen sign. Your own birth chart, Dasha and Ashtakavarga refine them. Not sure of your Moon sign? Request your Kundli.
विंशोत्तरी दशा Vimshottari Dasha
Your planetary periods, good and testing
Vimshottari is the 120 year cycle of planetary periods that begins from the Moon’s Nakshatra at birth. Enter your birth details to see every Mahadasha, Antardasha and Pratyantardasha: favourable periods in green and challenging periods in red, judged for your own Lagna.
Calculated on the Divinehope server in the Nirayana zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsha. Your details are used only for this calculation and are not stored.
Periods show tendencies; the full chart, transits and an astrologer’s judgement decide how they unfold.

The Nadi way of reading the sky
Nadi Jyotisha is the South Indian tradition of the rishis’ palm leaf granthas, kept at centres such as Vaitheeswaran Koil, and of the Nadi techniques, Bhrigu Nandi Nadi and Saptarishi Nadi. These techniques read the grahas by the signs they occupy and by how they link to one another, rather than by houses alone.
Karakas first
Guru is Jeeva, the person himself. Shani is Karma, the work and duty of life. Shukra, Mangal, Budha and Surya show partner and wealth, energy and land, learning and trade, and status.
Links by sign
Grahas in the same sign, in trine (1st, 5th and 9th), one sign ahead (2nd), one sign behind (12th) or opposite (7th) act together and colour each other’s results.
Transits as triggers
When Guru or Shani moves into a sign, it awakens the grahas linked to that sign. Guru’s yearly transit shows where life grows; Shani’s shows where work and duty press.

Your Nadi by Nakshatra नाडी कूट
In Kundli Milan, every Nakshatra belongs to one of three Nadis: Adi (Vata), Madhya (Pitta) or Antya (Kapha). Nadi koota carries 8 of the 36 Guna points.
Divinehope applies the Nadi techniques to your own birth chart. We do not claim to hold or read palm leaf manuscripts.

Every colour has a reason
Every jewel colour on this site is one of the nine Navaratna gems, each belonging to its graha in classical Jyotish. Gold, emerald, ruby and diamond lead because Guru, Budha, Surya and Shukra carry this site’s aspirations. The deep night sky behind them is a backdrop and makes no planetary claim.
