    About Joseph Smith

    Joseph Smith Jr., born on December 23, 1805, in Sharon, Vermont, was an American religious leader internationally known as the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement and revered by his followers as a prophet. In the late 1820s, he reported receiving heavenly visions and angelic visitations that led to his translation and publication of the Book of Mormon in 1830. That same year, he formally organized the Church of Christ, attracting thousands of converts who sought to restore early Christianity. Facing local opposition and persecution, he led his followers to establish communities in Ohio, Missouri, and Illinois, where he founded the city of Nauvoo. As mayor and militia commander in Nauvoo, he introduced distinctive theological doctrines, including plural marriage and temple rituals. In June 1844, amid growing political tensions and internal dissension, he was arrested and subsequently killed by an armed mob in Carthage, Illinois, on June 27, 1844.

    🌙Vedic birth chart & birth timeBirth time: not on record

    A genuine Vedic Kundli for Joseph Smith would need their exact birth time and place, and those are not in the public record. The Ascendant (Lagna), house placements, Nakshatra and Dasha timeline all change with just a few minutes' difference — so we don't invent a time or quietly default to noon. This profile therefore shows only what the birth date can honestly support: Sun sign, Moon sign (Rashi), Chinese zodiac and Life Path.
