Muntha - Muntha Calculation - Muntha in a Kundali

Muntha is particularly used in the calculation of Varsha Kundali. It stays in the ascendant sign of the kundali and moves to a consecutive sign every year. For example: If Muntha in a kundali is situated in the Aries ascendant in the first year of the native’s life, then in the second year it will fall in the Taurus sign and so on. In this manner muntha reaches the Lagna again in twelve years.

Muntha is not a planet, but is as important as other nine planets in the horoscope. Analysis of Muntha determines the various situations and effects of other signs and planets on the life of the native. Various scriptures have described about Muntha and its relevance in Indian astrology. Including Muntha in Varsha Kundali determines the incidents of the native’s life.
