How do I read these charts?
North Indian, South Indian, Western Wheel, Northern Wheel — what the layouts mean. Plus a primer on dashas.

How do I use the app?
Dashboard view, the sandwich drawer, scrolling for features, saving the app as an icon, what subscribing unlocks.
A Vedic chart is a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born. The same sky, displayed four different ways — each style emphasises different things. Pick the one your eye reads most easily; you can switch at any time with the tabs above the chart.
North Indian (NI) — the diamond
The houses stay fixed. House 1 (the lagna / rising) is always the diamond at the top. The signs rotate with your chart — the sign in House 1 tells you what your rising sign is.
NI: house 1 always at top. Houses fixed; signs rotate.
South Indian (SI) — the 4×4 grid
The signs stay fixed in a 4×4 grid (Aries top-left of the upper edge, going clockwise). The lagna (house 1) is marked with a small ① circle inside whichever cell holds your rising sign. The houses move with your chart.
SI: signs fixed in place; the ① marks your lagna.
Western Wheel (WW) and Northern Wheel (NW)
Both are circular. Signs run around the rim, planets sit on the rim at their exact degree. The difference is where the lagna sits visually: Western puts it at 9 o'clock (the left, like classical Western astrology). Northern (Das Wheel) puts it at the top. Many find the round shape easier to scan than NI's diamonds.
Western Wheel — ASC at 9 o'clock, planets on the rim.
The 12 houses — at a glance
Every chart has the same 12 houses. They mean roughly the same thing in every tradition:
1 — self, body, vitality ·
2 — money, food, family of origin ·
3 — courage, siblings, short trips ·
4 — home, mother, peace of mind ·
5 — children, romance, intelligence ·
6 — enemies, debt, illness, daily work ·
7 — spouse, partners, the public ·
8 — transformation, longevity, hidden things ·
9 — father, dharma, fortune, long journeys ·
10 — career, status, public action ·
11 — gains, friends, the network ·
12 — losses, foreign lands, liberation.
The 9 planets
Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn — the seven classical planets. Plus Rahu and Ketu, the north and south lunar nodes (the points where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's). Each carries its own quality of energy; where it sits (sign + house) is where it expresses in your life.
Dashas — your life's time-table
Vedic astrology has a unique gift: the Vimshottari dasha system divides your life into nested planetary periods. At any moment a particular planet is the "lord" of your current chapter (the mahadasha), with a sub-lord (bhukti), sub-sub-lord (pratyantar), and finer levels still.
Five levels of dasha nest inside one another.
The dasha bar at the bottom of the dashboard shows your current period. Click anywhere on the bar to jump the transit chart to that moment. Use the + / − buttons (or Option + scroll) to zoom into finer levels.
Reading the chart, in one sentence
Find your lagna (rising sign / house 1). Look at where its lord is placed — that tells you the texture of you. Then look at where the Moon and Sun are — the Moon for your emotional life, the Sun for your sense of purpose. Then ask the chart questions, one house at a time. That's enough to start.
KarmaWheel runs on phones, tablets, and computers — the same app, the same data, just laid out for the screen you're on. Here's how to get the most of it.
The dashboard view (tablets and computers)
On wider screens, KarmaWheel offers a six-slot dashboard — pick any combination of chart, table, or feature to fill each slot. You'll see Rasi + Navamsa + Transits + Dashas + Planet List at once, no clicking around.
To switch into dashboard view, tap the dashboard icon in the top bar (▢) on tablets/desktops. Each slot's ▾ dropdown lets you pick what it shows.
The sandwich drawer (every screen size)
Tap the ☰ icon at the top-left to open the side drawer. It's where every feature in the app is reachable — synastry, divisional charts, name suggestions, panchang, full reports, language switcher, and dozens more. Think of it as the master index.
Main Actions menu
The ✦ Main Actions button (visible on phones near the top of the chart, or as a topbar dropdown on tablets) opens a curated list of the most-used features: New Chart, Save Chart, Email/Print Full Report, AI Reading, and more.
Scroll for more
Below your main chart, scroll down to find the second chart picker (Navamsa, Transits, Tithi Pravesh, any divisional), the planet table, dashas, varga group cards, classical yogas, and a long list of computed features. It's all there — just scroll.
Save the app as an icon
iPhone / iPad: open karmawheel.app in Safari, tap the share icon, then Add to Home Screen. The app launches like a real native app with no browser chrome.
Android: open in Chrome, tap the menu (⋮), then Install app or Add to Home screen.
Desktop (Chrome, Edge, Safari): use Bookmark / Favorite. On Mac you can also File → Add to Dock in Safari for a one-click launcher.
