Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hello All, I was wondering if anyone out there could possibly help me with this. Prasna Jyotish, also known as Horary Astrology, has a very long history in Vedic Astrology and India. Many jyotishis, yesterday and today, often make use of it in the place of natal charts to answer questions and deal with situations. I am endeavouring to learn this myself, and I do have a few books on the subject, but for the most part, I am in the dark. I need someone's assistance on this. Exactly how does one go about using Prasna? In the exact same ways one does a natal chart, that is to say, do the usual yogas and the like apply? Or are there more specific rules to observe? Raman, in his translation of Prasna Tantra, seems to be of the belief that one has to apply differing rules than that which would be the case for natal charts. The anthology editied by the late Rick Houck, Hindu Astrology Lessons, gives a totally different method than that which is seen in Raman's work earlier mentioned. In the book, Light on Life, deFouw suggests, during a discussion on the birth chart of Albert Einstein, that many of the usual rules that pertain to natal charts are to be applied to the horary chart as well. So I'm in something of a funk. Is there anyone out there, skilled in Prasna Jyotish, that can help me out? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Hello Mu, As with everything else in astrology, Prasna chart readings are intuitive. I would ask you to follow the method that you are most comfortable with. Prasna relies a lot on the position of the Moon and functional lordships. You need to have a good grasp of things like directions specified by each sign, planets etc. Then look at the dominant influence in the chart, and how it affects the current situation. Personally speaking, I do look at the aspects, yogas in the chart, but not in the same way that they may be applied in a natal chart. A Moon-Mars conjunction has a different connotation in Prasna ( for me ) than it does in natal chart. My sincere suggestion would be to first start analysing the Prasna chart for any queries that you have in mind, and observe the dynamics. A lot of truths will unfold themselves, but its not going to happen if you don't start:) Best Wishes, K. gjlist, Mu'Min Bey <mumin_bey> wrote: > Hello All, > > I was wondering if anyone out there could possibly > help me with this. > > Prasna Jyotish, also known as Horary Astrology, has a > very long history in Vedic Astrology and India.
