Vedic astrology considers the Moon as the significator of the mind.
- Moon has an erratic nature and is the fastest moving celestial body among the planets.
- The Moon completes rotation of a nakshatra in one day and in a two days and a half of it passes through an entire sign.
- With its swiftness the Moon is able to occupy the same nakshatra and sign after 27 days.
- It is required to make a Moon chart along with the Ascendant kundli as Moon is a significant factor in astrology which influences human lives strongly.
- A child’s birth sign (Rashi) is the sign which was occupied by the Moon during his birth time. Placement of Moon in a nakshatra at the birth time of a child is used to calculate the vinshottari dasha from the lord of that nakshatra.
- The moon sign is also said to be responsible for Saturn’s dhaiya and sade saati afflictions. Besides these the Moon helps in forming many yogas in a kundli.
Like Vedic astrology Horary astrology also gives importance to the Moon. The Moon is the symbol of successfully completing a task as well as achieving the desired objective. Horary astrology says that as the Moon is a swift moving planet, its position in the significator house (Karak bhava) guarantees instant and sure results to the native.
In this scenario the Moon acts as a guaranteed significator of work through which it is possible to find out whether a person can fulfill his desires or not. Aspect of Moon on the house of action or lord of the karak bhava in the native’s horary chart is very auspicious as it enhances success and fulfillment of desire.
Let’s clarify with an example:
- Suppose a person wants to know whether he will succeed in a new business or not.
- After hearing the question the Horary astrologers makes a horary chart in which Ascendant, lord of the Ascendant, profit or lord of the profit are determined.
- Combination of above stated planet and house and aspect of Moon on the house of profit from the 5th house or any other house in a kundli means sure success in the business.
- In this regard aspect of the Moon is very crucial in Horary chart.
Debilitated Moon may create obstacle in bringing success even though a kundli has auspicious Ascendant or lord of the Ascendant and lord of the house of profit. Thus an auspicious Moon is required in horary chart to make things easy and fruitful for a native. Auspicious combination of Moon and other planet results favorable situation and enhances success in a native’s life.
Important Details on Horary charts :-
Decisions in Astrology are made in many ways. Out of this ‘prashna shastra’ also holds great importance.
- In ‘prashna shastra’, time & date of birth are not required, in this, the time when the question is being asked is taken into consideration.
- Here, decisions are made by suddenly asking questions. This is a study that is capable of giving significant results even in the absence of time.
- The answers to question are given by making a ‘prashna kundali’ during the same time.
Time is depicted as a ‘ahoratri’. Aho means day & ratri means night. Similarly, hora is formed by taking ‘ho’ from aho and ‘ra’ from ratri, which is called as hora of day and hora of night. It tells about day & night. This is nothing, but the method of telling the process of day & night.
‘Prashna astrology’ has been explained in ‘Brihat Parashara Hora’.
- Apart from this, Vriha Mihir & Kalyan Verma has also talked about it. In ‘Prashna Shastra’ decisions are determined with the help of the questions asked during that time.
- But some astrologers also use birth & yearly horoscope with it, with the help of which they tell the future of a person by understanding the concept of karma.
If it is analyzed properly, then ‘prashna kundali’ can become successful in giving predictions. In ‘prashna shastra’ the place where the question is being asked and the time has the same importance as that of the birth time in birth horoscope. In this, the person who asks the question is called ‘prashankarta’ & what he asks is called as a question.
Prashna kundali is formed by determining the position of the planets at the time when question is being asked. The lagna of prashna kundali represents the person who is asking the question. The position of moon in prashna kundali helps in telling a lot about the question. The position of the person who is asking the question is also determined by it, due to this it cannot be ignored.
