Sit with your janma mantra. Keep a kundli-grounded rhythm. Lagna is classical Jyotish practice for Lifestyle and Health & Fitness: authored japa sit, chart-grounded reflection, and a 7-day rhythm — plus a full sidereal birth chart (kundli) computed on your iPhone. Not a daily horoscope dump, not fortune-telling, and not medical, financial, or legal advice. Lagna computes a sidereal kundli using Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses from your birth date, time, and place: graha placements, nakshatra, Vimshottari dasha tree, yogas, dignities, and divisional charts (D1/D2/D9/D10). Chart math is deterministic on device — placements are never invented by AI. Optional Apple Intelligence explains your chart when available, grounded in computed facts, with a deterministic knowledge fallback when it isn't. Japa is traditional recitation for sincerity — not a remedy that changes the chart. Start on Practice for sit and reflection. Your kundli lives on Chart. Insights and Ask stay grounded in that chart. PRACTICE • Today’s japa — authored janma-nakshatra mantra (Free); current Maha dasha lord mantra (Premium). Traditional recitation, not a remedy. • Sit, then reflection, then a 7-day practice rhythm strip (Mon–Sun dots) — sit or reflection fills the same day • Practice streaks keyed to You — daily reflection (Free); weekly review, dasha-window, Moon-cycle, and transit awareness in Practice overview (Premium) • Optional reflection reminders — gentle cadence in Settings → Practice • Apple Watch Practice page — the same weekly rhythm at a glance CHART & ENGINE • D1 natal kundli in North or South Indian style — graha, rāśi, nakshatra, house lords • Divisional lenses D2, D9 (Navamsa), D10 — canvas views with natal D1 placement summary • Vimshottari timing — maha, antar, pratyantar dasha tree with full timeline • Chart MeaningSnapshot — calm natal synthesis; Free facts / Premium meaning • Evidence screen — detections, resolver matches, and provenance you can audit ASK & INSIGHTS • Ask — questions grounded in your computed chart, sky, or match context — Free quota included; Premium unlimited • Insights + life themes composed from chart facts and Evidence • Learn library — searchable Jyotish concepts with Ask hand-off MATCH • Ashtakoota compatibility — full 8 kootas with explanations (Free preview / Premium breakdown). Open from Library or More when you want it — not a main tab. TIMING & CURRENT SKY • Personal Current Sky — transits × dasha × house convergence with care-framed emphasis • Cycles & eclipses — tithi, yoga, karaṇa, New/Full, Sun ingress, geocentric eclipse candidates • Annual timing — rolling ~12-month skim (Free dated facts; Premium care-framed pacing). Not Varshaphal. • Risk/attention grades are technical signal strength for carefulness — not predictions of harm PRIVATE BY DESIGN Chart math stays on your iPhone. AI never invents graha, rāśi, nakshatra, dasha lords, or mantras that aren't in your chart. Local-first by default; Premium can sync saved chart profiles privately via iCloud when you opt in. You-only widgets and Apple Watch companion follow your personal chart. Premium Chart PDF export; Free privacy-safe plain-text summary and single-card share. REFLECTION ONLY Lagna is for self-understanding and classical Jyotish practice. It is not predictive certainty or professional advice.

Jyotish Notes is a fast, beautiful Vedic astrology workbench — cast a chart in seconds, watch transits move over it, drill dashas to any depth, and keep a journal of what actually happened.

Play with informative overlays of multiple dasha systems (Vimshottari, Chara, Yogini and more) mapped against real-time transit positions. Parashari and Jaimini charts sit side-by-side as living references while the sky and dasha timelines move in concert, revealing cause and effect as they actually play out. Capture event notes directly against these charts. Everything stays private on your device.
