Timing the Event in Prashna — When Will It Happen?
Beyond yes/no, Prashna can answer "when". Multiple timing methods exist, each with its strengths. Combining them yields a probable window.
Sign-type timing
- Movable sign Lagna: outcome in days or weeks.
- Fixed sign Lagna: outcome in months.
- Dual sign Lagna: outcome in years or partial.
Moon's next aspect
- Moon's applying aspect to a benefic = quick positive.
- Time-to-perfect-aspect ≈ time-to-event.
- Hours per degree of orb (approximate).
Planetary speed timing
- Fast karakas (Moon, Mercury) = days.
- Medium (Sun, Venus, Mars) = weeks.
- Slow (Jupiter, Saturn) = months to years.
