Prashna shines for specific yes/no/when questions. For travel, the relevant houses, lords, and significators are well-defined. Here's the standard reading approach.

Key houses & lords to read

  • 3rd house (short journeys) for nearby travel.
  • 9th house (long journeys) for far travel.
  • Mercury (movement) well-placed.

Strong yes signals

  • Lagna lord movement = trip's ease/difficulty.
  • Lagna lord and significator in mutual aspect.
  • Strong, applying Ithasala yoga.
  • Vargottama placement of Lagna lord.

Caution signals

  • Combust significator.
  • Significator in 6, 8, or 12.
  • Strong Ishrafa (separating) yoga — matter is past.
  • Eclipsed time of question.
