Prashna: Vedic Horary Astrology for Direct Questions

Prashna means question. It is the horary branch of Vedic astrology. You do not need a birth chart. You cast a chart for the moment the question is asked. The sky at that instant holds the answer.

When to Use It

Use Prashna when birth data is missing or uncertain. Use it for one clear question. Will I get this job? Is this property right for me? Where is the lost item? One question per chart works best.

How It Works

The rising sign at question time is the Prashna Lagna. The Moon shows the querent's mind. The house for the topic shows the matter. For career, read the tenth. For marriage, read the seventh. Strong planets and clean aspects say yes. Affliction and delay say wait or no.

Asking Well

Ask with a calm and honest mind. Frame the question simply. Note the exact time and place. Do not ask the same question twice in a short span. Respect the first answer.
