Frequently Asked Questions
Is this reading based on my birth chart?
No. This is a general sign reading computed from current transit positions for Taurus. A personal reading requires your exact birth time and coordinates to determine your Lagna degree and active Dashas.
Why does ePandit read from the Lagna (Ascendant)?
In classical Vedic astrology, the Lagna (Ascendant) represents the rising sign on the eastern horizon at birth and anchors all 12 houses. Western sun signs change monthly; the Lagna changes every two hours, grounding the transit calculations.
