PrashnaThrisphutaAdvanced
Thrisphuta combines Lagna, Sun, and Moon into a single composite sphuta (longitude). Its sign, navamsa, and nakshatra reveal hidden timing and outcome subtleties — especially for life-threatening questions.
How Thrisphuta is calculated
- Sum the longitudes of Lagna + Sun + Moon.
- Reduce to a single sign and degree.
- Note the navamsa, nakshatra, and pada.
Reading Thrisphuta
- Sign quality (movable/fixed/dual) gives the outcome trend.
- Zone analysis: jeeva, sthiti, mrityu.
- Death indication when in specific malefic zones.
Practical use
- Critical for health Prashnas.
- Cross-reference with Five Sutras consensus.
- Warning marker, not absolute prediction.
