Vedic Astrology Chart pictorially shows the sidereal position of the planets in the sky using the Zodiac signs and House numbers. The first house is the zodiac sign which is rising on the eastern horizon at the time of birth. The first house is the Ascendant. The nine planets and the Ascendant are shown in 3 different chart formats - North Indian, South Indian, and East Indian. Vedic astrology charts can be made in any of the 3 formats. All 3 chart formats show the same sidereal planetary positions but in different ways so it is up to the comfort of the individual / astrologer to choose a chart format.
