This is so because any able astrologer can draw up an entire picture of the life of an individual, only by seeing рдеे Janam Kundali or kundli of that person. Drawing up a Janam Kundali is an act of expertise, and only selected learners of this art and astrologers hold the rule for drawing up Janam Kundali.
Janam Kundali, also called as a map of heaven at the time of the birth of a child, involves drawing up a chart which graphically represents the positioning of planets in different houses as at the time of the birth of a child.
