A kundli is a map

A janma kundli, the birth chart, is the configuration of the nine grahas across the twelve rashis at the moment you took your first breath. It does not announce your future. It describes the shape of the river you were born into.

The work of the astrologer is to read this map honestly, name the currents, mark the rocks, and let you decide how to row. A chart is a score, not a forecast. We point at the notation, name the dominant key, and you decide how to play.
