Aspects (Drishti) in Prashna — How Planets Influence Each Other
In Prashna, the aspect (drishti) between Lagna lord, significator (karaka), and Moon often decides the outcome. Aspects can promise, deny, delay, or modify.
Standard aspects
- 7th-house aspect (default for all).
- Mars: 4th, 7th, 8th.
- Jupiter: 5th, 7th, 9th.
- Saturn: 3rd, 7th, 10th.
Aspect quality in Prashna
- Benefic aspect on Lagna or karaka = positive.
- Malefic aspect = obstacles or delays.
- Mutual aspect (parivartana-like) = strong promise.
- Trine (5/9) aspect = harmonious.
- Square (4/10) aspect = friction-driven outcome.
Practical reading
- Look for aspects on Lagna lord first.
- Then on significator.
- Then on Moon.
- Three aspects together build a confidence picture.
