Prashna Kundali is an important part of astrology. This Kundali is based upon the questions asked by the native. The Kundali of the time at which a question is asked by an individual is prepared. It is known as >Prashna Kundali. These kind of Kundalis are used by astrologers very often. It should be kept in mind that the time of asking questions and the time of giving answers should be same for a Prashna Kundali. It is better that the person seeking answer goes to an astrologer and asks the questions himself. By this, the effects of auspicious and inauspicious events on the question at the time of questioning are analyzed. The body language of the questioner decides the rate of success of the question. There are various ways in Indian astrology to make a Prashna Kundali and to answer the questions of the questioner.

General Study of a Prashna Kundali

Tajik Yogas and Tajik Kundalis have a lot of significance while analyzing a Prashan Kundali. A Prashna Kundali has no existence without these Yogas. Itthashal or Ishraf Yogas will be mentioned at many places in the coming chapters. It is very important to know that how the Itthashal Yoga is formed. Let us first discuss in detail the formation of Itthashal Yoga.

Itthashal Yoga

Apart from Rahu and Ketu, Moon has the highest speed and the speed of Saturn is lowest among the seven planets. Moon is a fast moving planet while Saturn is a slow moving planet. The first rule for the formation of Itthashal Yoga is that the Anshas of the fast moving planet should be less than the Anshas of slow moving planets. The fast moving planet should lag behind the slow moving planet. The planets should be inside Deeptansha to form an Itthashal relationship. The planets forming Itthashal Yoga should have an aspect on each other. Here, we are talking of the Tajik aspects.

The Deeptansha of planets are as follows:

Sun - 15 Anshas, Moon - 12 Anshas, Mars - 8 Anshas, Mercury - 7 Anshas, Jupiter - 9 Anshas, Venus - 7 Anshas, Saturn - 9 Anshas

For instance, we will take the Deeptansha of Saturn and Mars. Saturn has 9 Deeptanshas and Mars has 8 Deeptanshas. The total of both the Deeptanshas is 17. 17 when divided by 2 gives 8.5. Now, let us imagine that Bhogansh of Saturn is 11 Anshas and 22 kalas, and Bhoghansh of Mars is 9 Anshas and 15 kalas. On taking out the difference of Bhoganshas of these two planets, we get 2 Anshas and 7 kalas. This difference depicts that Saturn and Mars are forming Itthashal Yoga.

Let us go through the Itthashal Yoga once again. First of all, remember that the Anshas of the slow moving planets should be higher than the Anshas of fast moving planets. The planets should have an aspect on each other. The difference of the Bhoganshas of the two planets should be less than the half of the sum of Deeptanshas of the two planets. If all these conditions are fulfilled, then the Itthashal Yoga is formed.

The Prashna Kundali which we will study will be purely based on Vedic Jyotish. It can be only understood by the native who is well acquainted with Vedic astrology. The new natives can acquire the knowledge of Vedic astrology from our website.

Famous Rules of Prashna Kundali

Explain your readers in the beginning of the chapter that the ascendant of Prashna Kundali is a flower. Moon is known as its nectar. Navmansh is known as the result and the house represents the sufferings of the results of the question.

There are various methods of studying Prashna Kundali at different places. At some places, the Prashna Kundali is made and the questioner is asked to put rice and gold in any one of the boxes. At other places, the questioner is asked to open Ramayana. The page numbers obtained by opening Ramayana are added and the the number thus obtained becomes the ascendant of the Kundali. At many places, the astrologers study the sound of the questioner, i.e. the sound of  breathing from nostrils.

In the Krishnamurty system, the questioner is asked to choose a number from 1 to 249. In Vedic astrology, the questioner is asked to choose a number from 1 to 108. The number which is told is divided by 9. The quotient thus obtained becomes the number of ascendant and the remainder becomes the number of Navmansh. If the remainder is zero then the seventh sign is taken or the eighth sign of Navmansh Kundali is taken.

In this way, many other ways to analyze Prashna Kundali are popular.
