There is tension at home for a year now. My brother and I do not talk because of the house our father left, and my mother is caught in the middle. What does my chart show?
I am sorry it has been so heavy at home. Please share your date, time and place of birth. In Vedic astrology I read your 4th house of home and land and your 3rd house of siblings, then your current period. The property question itself stays with a lawyer or free legal aid.
Short answer
You can talk to an astrologer about family problems with your date, time and place of birth. In Vedic astrology the 5th house is read for children and learning, the 4th for mother, home and land, the 3rd for siblings, and the 9th or 10th for the father, then the running dasha. A chart is no medical or legal advice, so the doctor or lawyer comes first. On Kismo, verified astrologers answer online from anywhere in India and abroad.

What does an astrologer check for a family question?
An astrologer reads a family question from one house per relative, then from the period running now. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages.
- The 2nd house of the family you live with. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (chapter 11, verse 3) reads family (kutumba) from the 2nd house, beside wealth 1.
- The 3rd house of siblings. The same chapter (verse 4) reads courage, journeys and younger siblings from it, and Phaladeepika (chapter 1, sloka 11) names the brother there 12.
- The 4th house of mother, home and land. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.5 reads vehicles, relatives, the mother's happiness and land from the 4th 1.
- The 5th house of children and learning. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.6 lists knowledge, intellect and children together in the 5th 1.
- Jupiter, the planet linked with children. Phaladeepika (chapter 12, sloka 1) judges children from Jupiter, the Moon and the 5th house together 3.
- Timing. Phaladeepika 12.25 to 12.29 ties the birth of a child to the periods of the 5th lord, Jupiter and the planets in or aspecting the 5th 3.
The texts disagree on the father. Phaladeepika 1.14 lists the father (pitru) among the names of the 9th house, while Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 11.11 reads the father from the 10th and keeps fortune and dharma for the 9th 21. Ask your astrologer which rule they follow.
Which family problems can an astrologer help with?
- Delay in having a child
For a child who has not come yet: the astrologer reads both partners' 5th house, Jupiter and the dasha, always beside the fertility doctor, never instead of one.
- Child's education
For a child's studies, board exams or stream: the astrologer reads the 5th house of learning and Mercury, while marks and choices stay with the child, teachers and a counsellor.
- Baby naming
For a baby's name: the astrologer finds the birth nakshatra and its syllables and can suggest a namkaran date, with the family free to choose any name they love.
- Family disputes
For quarrels with in-laws, siblings or parents: the astrologer reads the houses of each relative and the period running, and points to counselling or helplines where there is harm.
- Property disputes
For ancestral land, a share between siblings or a case in court: the astrologer reads the 4th house of land, never the verdict, and the legal question stays with a lawyer or free legal aid.
What family problems do people in India take to court or to a helpline?
Land and property fill most civil courtrooms. In DAKSH's Access to Justice survey of 9,329 litigants in 305 places across 24 states, 66.2% of civil cases were about land or property 4. Family matters came next in the same survey 4.
Free legal help exists for many of these disputes. The National Legal Aid Helpline is 15100, and a panel lawyer guides the caller on next steps 5. Legal services offices, village and college legal aid clinics, and an online form are the other routes 5.
Quarrels at home can turn into violence, and the helplines differ by who is hurt. The Women Helpline 181 answers 24 hours and links women to the police, One Stop Centres, hospitals and legal aid 6. Elder Line 14567, run with the National Institute of Social Defence, helps older people from 8 am to 8 pm, including protection from abuse 7.
In an emergency, call 112, the single emergency helpline 8. For stress that does not lift, Tele-MANAS on 14416 is free, open 24 hours and speaks 20 Indian languages; it also takes calls about exam anxiety 9.

Questions people ask
Can I talk to an astrologer online about problems in my family?
Yes, a family reading works fully online, since it needs only birth details and a clear question. You can talk to an astrologer about children, a quarrel at home or a property matter on Kismo, where verified Vedic astrologers answer by chat or call from anywhere in India and abroad. Keep the date, time and place of birth ready for the person you are asking about.
Where in my birth chart do astrologers look for my family?
Astrologers look first at the 2nd house for family, since Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra reads kutumba, the household, from it beside wealth. They then add one house per relative: the 3rd for siblings, the 4th for mother and home, the 5th for children. The planets in those houses and their lords decide the reading more than the house alone.
Which house represents the father in Vedic astrology?
The 9th house represents the father in Phaladeepika, which lists pitru among its names, while Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra reads the father from the 10th. Many astrologers look at both houses and at the Sun, the planet of the father. If two astrologers give you different answers, this disagreement between the texts is usually the reason.
Which house is for siblings in astrology?
The 3rd house is for siblings in Vedic astrology. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra reads younger siblings from it, beside courage and journeys, and Phaladeepika names the brother among the 3rd house's terms. A quarrel between siblings over land also brings in the 4th house of property, so an astrologer usually reads the two together.
Can astrology solve my family problems?
No, astrology cannot solve a family problem by itself. An astrologer can read which periods the chart links with strain or calm, and help you think about timing and your own part in it. Talking, family counselling, mediation through a legal services authority, a doctor or a lawyer are what change the situation. Treat anyone who promises to end a quarrel as a red flag.
Can an astrologer tell me if my baby will be a boy or a girl?
No, and a careful astrologer will not try. Phaladeepika does have verses linking signs to sons or daughters 3, but India's PC-PNDT Act makes telling the sex of a foetus illegal and punishes anyone who seeks sex selection 10. Ask instead about the health of the pregnancy, which belongs with your doctor.
How much does a family consultation cost on Kismo?
A family consultation on Kismo starts from ₹15 a minute, one rate for chat and call set by each astrologer. You pay from a wallet with a minimum top-up of ₹100, billed per started minute, and only the minutes you use are charged. The first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed, enough to share birth details and ask one question.
How do I spot a fake astrologer for family problems?
A fake family astrologer sells fear and rituals: vashikaran on a relative, a costly santan prapti puja, a putra (son) remedy, or a gemstone you must buy today. A genuine one explains the reading, points you to a doctor or lawyer, and suggests simple free practices if any. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual, and never pay outside the app you booked on.
Can I ask about a family member if I do not know their birth time?
Yes, partly. Without a birth time the houses cannot be fixed, so some astrologers cast prashna, a chart for the moment you ask, and read your question from it. Others read from the Moon sign, which a birth date usually gives. Your own chart also carries houses for each relative, so the person asking can bring their own details instead.
