📜 Chicago, Illinois
Your Kundli is a map of the sky at the moment you were born. Families in Chicago use it for everything from choosing a career to matching horoscopes before marriage. Zodastro reads your Lagna, Moon sign, planets, houses, yogas and doshas and turns them into clear, practical guidance.

Generate my KundliYour rising sign (Lagna) changes about every two hours, and the houses of your chart depend on the exact latitude and longitude of your birthplace. Chicago lies at 41.88° N, 87.63° W and keeps Central Daylight Time (UTC−5), 10 h 30 min behind India. That is why a chart made for "India" or for the wrong city can put planets in the wrong houses.
Always enter the place where you were born, not where you live now. If you were born in India and now live in Chicago, your Kundli is still calculated for your Indian birthplace; your current city matters for Panchang, Muhurat and festival timings.

All times are Chicago local time (Central Daylight Time, UTC−5). Calculated from Chicago's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Chicago time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
The length of the day decides the length of Rahu Kaal. In Chicago the shortest day has about 9 h 8 min of daylight and the longest about 15 h 14 min (today: 10 h 24 min), which gives a Rahu Kaal of 68 to 114 minutes.
Sunrise in Chicago today is 7:22 AM, 34 minutes earlier on the clock than in Atlanta (948 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 31 October the sunrise Tithi in Chicago is Krishna Saptami; in Delhi it is Krishna Shashthi. This is why a vrat date from an Indian calendar can be a day off in Chicago.
Chicago is on Central Daylight Time (UTC−5), 10 h 30 min behind India.
Chicago uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Chicago, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
Chicago's Devon Avenue has been the heart of Indian life in the Midwest for decades, and the Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Temple in Aurora is one of the region's main temples. Central Time is 10 h 30 min to 11 h 30 min behind India, so festival dates often fall a day earlier than the Indian calendar suggests.
