Your birth chart, calculated properly

Yes, and it runs on the same calculation engine used for paid readings — the same ephemeris, the same ayanamsa options, the same divisional charts. Nothing is deliberately degraded to sell you an upgrade. What a paid reading adds is a human putting the layers together for your specific question.

As exact as you can get it. The ascendant advances about one degree every four minutes, so a thirty-minute error can move it into the next sign and change every house in the chart. If your time is approximate, the planetary signs are still reliable but the houses and dasha dates are not — and rectification against known life events is the honest fix.

Lahiri, unless you have a reason not to. It is the Indian government standard and what almost all published Indian ephemerides use. KP practitioners should pick the KP value, because the entire sublord framework was calibrated against it. The difference between them is small, but near a nakshatra boundary it changes the dasha sequence.

Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, measured against the fixed stars, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac measured from the spring equinox. The two have drifted about 24 degrees apart, which is most of a sign — so if you were born in the first three weeks of a Western sign, your Vedic sign is the previous one.

Only if you save it to a profile while signed in, and then it is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM — the plaintext never lands in the database. A one-off chart generated without an account stores a summary for analytics (sign, nakshatra, place) and nothing identifying. You can export or delete everything from your account at any time.

Nothing astrological — it is just the chart being rendered. The lines are drawn first, then the planets settle into their houses, then the dasha timeline fills in. If you prefer no animation, the site honours your system reduced-motion setting and renders everything immediately.
