PrashnaAdvanced
Prashna jyotish offers nuanced guidance for handling contradictory karakas. Combining the Five Sutras with question-type-specific factors yields focused answers.
Foundational principle
- Prashna reads the moment of the question, not the asker's birth.
- Lagna, Moon, and significator are the three pillars.
- Five Sutras give the consensus answer.
Specific to this topic
- Identify the relevant houses and karakas.
- Read combustion and retrograde of significators.
- Use the Prashna query tool for automated analysis.
Practical takeaway
- Cross-reference with natal chart where possible.
- Don't treat Prashna as a final verdict — it's guidance.
- Pair the answer with appropriate remedies.
