For Nitin (& Others): Prashna & Birth Time

[Guest guest]

Dear Nitin/Others

 

(Following on from original post "Transits: Place of Birth or Current

Location" #37987)

 

PRASHNA & BIRTH TIME

 

Astrologers have also debated the time of birth that should be taken

to construct the natal chart. Is it when a child is conceived, some

time during pregnancy or when it is delivered? The general concensus

is that it is none of these things but it it when the baby first

interacts with its new surroundings. This is when the child first

takes its own breath often followed by crying after the umbilical

cord is cut and the child is separated from the mother. At this time

the baby responds independently to the cosmic frequencies present in

the magnetic field of this Earth planet. Similar reasoning can be

used for deciding what time to use for prashna. Have a look at the

table below.

 

CONCEPTION

Human Child: Formation of embryo

Mental Query: Formation of thought

 

GROWTH

Human Child: Development into foetus, human features

Mental Query: Development of ideas, reasoning and contemplation

 

BIRTH

Human Child: When baby is delivered.

Mental Query: When the question is asked.

 

Speaking the question directly to the astrologer is effectively the

birth of the question. The audio frequencies of the words (just like

when a baby first cries) is the first interaction of an internal

query with the external material world. (Notice the importance of

sound vibration: AUM/OM was the first sound vibration when this

universe was created by the Supreme Lord; we also chant and sing

bhajans to glorify the Supreme Lord) So the time when the question is

asked face to face or when a message is left on an answerphone is the

time to use for creating the prashna chart. With email, I would also

use the time that the email is transmitted to the astrologer because

the internal query has left the mind of the questioner (just like

when the baby leaves the mother) and taken birth in the domain of the

astrologer. Whether the astrologer decides to analyse the chart at

that time or at a later date is irrelevant because the question has

already been asked.
