Abortion:

1. When counting the number of children, such as the first child being represented
by the 5th house cusp, the 2nd child being represented by the 7th house cusp, the
third child being represented by the 9th house cusp, etc., what happens when there
has been an abortion !o we count that as a child
Mistakes made here will give mistakes in predicting correctly the sex of each child and
the number of children. When an abortion takes place after 3 months from conception,
the fetus is counted as a child because during that abortion, the sex of the child was
clearly developed, but when abortion takes place before the completion of the 3 month
gestational period, this pregnancy is not taken as a child birth because the sex of the
child, prior to that time, is not clear. So this factor must be clearly known for an
astrologer to fix both the sex of the child, and the correct number of children that the
mother will deliver.

$orary)-rashna &harts
(recting the -rashna)$orary &hart:
1. *f a person comes to you for a consultation about a specific ;uestion, ask him6her to
give you a number from 1 to "/4. ,he number given to you is taken as the +scendant,
and from the number you can find out the sign, star and sub. 2Most astrological software
programs allow you to enter the @rashna6>orary number either in the data entry screen
or on a separate worksheet, so the manual work is as easy as selecting a number on your
keyboard, while the software calculates the chart for you.3 *f you are constructing a
chart manually, say your client has picked the number 1/0. ,here you will see that the
sign is 8ibra from "4 degrees "< minutes /= seconds to 3= degrees == minutes ==
seconds in the star of 9ishaka, star lord is 1upiter, and sub lord is Moon. So take
"4#"<#/= 8ibra as the +scendant, grab your ,able of >ouses and @anchang, and
continue constructing the chart by hand from there.
". *f you do not want to use the system of selecting a number from 1 to "/4, you may
instead elect to construct the chart for the moment you wish to work on the chart, giving
your 'udgment 'ust as you would for an ordinary horoscope. ,his chart should be
erected for the place that you are working on the chart at the time of 'udgment.
5udging the -rashna)$orary:
,he Moon is the mind, so in the @rashna hart, the mind of the client is shown by the
position of the Moon, and it also assists in knowing the natureof the ;uestion asked.
7enerally the Moon, or its star lord or its sub lord, occupies or owns the house under
;uestion D( the Moon is connected with the house in ;uestion by con'unction or
association with 2by aspect3 the owner or occupant of the house in ;uestion, or from the
chief karaka of the matter asked about.
+ulfillment of a 6uery:
-lanet !irect or 7etrograde: Drdinarily in the prashna chart, a planet in direct motion
will give the results, so a retrograde planet can give results only when it goes direct in
motion, and when it crosses the point from where it initially turned retrograde.
2$ote% This theory is sub&ect to modification according to experience in indi'idual
cases, as it does not al#ays pro'e to be the case. (urthermore, the meaning of a
retrograde planet is to be interpreted according to the nature of the )uestion on each
case.)
&uspal %ub 2ord:
1. 2a3 ,he cuspal sub lord of a house under ;uestion indicates whether the matter
signified by that house is promised or not.
2b3 ,he matter is promised if the cuspal sub lord is the significator 2for example, in
the star of the occupant or the owner3 of that house or any one of the houses under
consideration.
2c3 *f the cuspal sub lord or its sub star lord is retrograde, the matter is promised
when they turn direct.
2d3 *f the star lord 2of this cuspal sub lord3 is retrograde, the matter is not denied, but it
will not materialiEe during the Mahadasha, :hukti, or @ratyantardasha of this cuspal sub
lord. however, it materialiEes during the dasha se;uence of another significator 2of the
matter under ;uestion3 whose star lord is direct in motion.
2e3 +s each house denotes several particular matters, the chief governor of the matter
under ;uestion may be taken into account, and it should be connected with the star lord
of the cuspal sub lord of the house under ;uestion.
". 2a3 *n the @rashna hart, the +scendant indicates the efforts of the ;uerent, while the
11th cusp shows the fulfillment of their desires or success in general.
2b3 So if the cuspal sub lord of the +scendant or the 11th cusp is the significator of
the matter in ;uestion, the ;uerent gets success in general.
2c3 *f the cuspal sub lord of the +scendant or the 11th cusp is posited in house 1, ", 3,
<, 1=, or 11, or if it is in the star of the occupant of house 1, ", 3, <, 1=, or 11, the
;uerent gets success in all undertakings. 2,he +scendant denotes success in one-s
efforts, the "nd denotes monetary gain, the 3rd denotes help from others, the <th, being
1"th to the .th, indicates loss to the other and gain to the ;uerent, the 1=th denotes
reputation, and the 11th denotes profits and gain. so these particular houses are
beneficial to the ;uerent in general3.
%ignificators:
1. 2a3 ,he significators show the time of an event.
2b3 So note the significators of the house or houses which represent the matter asked.
2c3 (e'ect the significators which are in the star of a retrograde planet 2because it
cannot, during its period or sub period, give the results of its star lord3.
2d3 Dut of these significators, give preference to those significators which are found
among the following planets#
213 (uling @lanets
2"3 ,he sign lord, star lord, and sub lord of the cusp of the house under ;uery.
233 ,he cuspal sub lords of the houses under consideration.
2/3 ,he 'oint period rulers 2dashas3 at the time of 'udgment. discretion should be
used while selecting the significators from the above planets.
2e3 ,he ;uery will materialiEe during the 'oint period 2dashas3 of these significators
when the transit agrees.
.ransit:
+t the time of the event, Sun, Moon and6or the 'oint period rulers 2dasha rulers3 will be
found in the star or sub of the same 'oint period ruler or rulers.

4mprisonment)4ncarceration:
1. *mprisonment first and foremost must include a separation from the home or
domestic residence & so a change of residence should be very evident 21"th from the /th
& or 3rd house3 if she is to be convicted, while at the opposite end 2no prison
sentence3 the "nd shows a life with family members 211th from the /th3.
", (estricted movements and confinement will be indicated by the 1"th house and all
connections to the 1"th. Malefics occupying the constellations of the planets posited in
the "nd and 1"th, the occupants of these two houses owning malefic houses, malefic
planets in the constellations of the lords of these houses, along with the lords of these
houses & would all threaten sentencing to include imprisonment6incarceration. *f the lord
of the 1st is also connected with any of these houses & then this also supports a
contention that imprisonment is a strong possibility.
3, (ahu is a chief significator for 'ail, so a malefic in the "nd or 1"th in the star or sub
of (ahu & and connected with the "nd or 1"th & supports a sentence involving prison.
5avorable aspects to the significators of the 1"th house and6or the 1"th cusp, and hard
aspects to the significators of the "nd house and6or "nd cusp can also suggest an
unfavorable outcome & such as imprisonment.

4ndependent "usiness:
1. *f the cuspal sub lord of the 1=th is the significator of the "nd, .th, or 1=th, an
independent business or profession is promised during the 'oint period of the
significators of the "nd, .th, and 1=th.
". *f the cuspal sub lord of the .th is the significator of the "nd, 1=th or 11th, gain in
business is promised during the 'oint period of the significators of the "nd, 1=th, and
11th.
3. onsider the houses ", . and 1= 2.
th
is dealings with others, purchase and sale of
production$ it is the main house for business3.
4ntuition:
1. Dnly when the Moon and Mercury have harmonious aspects can one have clear
exposition, proper wording, good vocabulary, and intuition. ,he 4th house, lord,
significator, and sub, aspects, etc., should also be examined for intuition..
". Moon is called the mind. *t is like a mirror & exactly reflecting the ob'ect.
3. Mercury is for supreme intelligence, as it governs the central nervous system. *t is
like a lens.
/. ,herefore whenever these two planets form or receive favorable aspects, they give
high imagination, linguistic capabilities, keen observation, intuitive perception, ;uick
grasp, retentive power, reproductive ability fluency of speech, and general success &
especially in astrology.
0. So those who have strong Mercury aspects will thoroughly analyEe, properly apply,
and correctly predict.

2ea'ing a 5ob:
1. *f the sub lord of the 1=th or <th cusp is the significator of the 1st, 0th, or 4th, the
;uerent can leave service during the 'oint period of the significators of the 1st, 0th, and
4th. ,hese significators are generally connected with the houses of service, which are
the "nd, the <th, and the 1=th.

2itigation:
1. +ccording to )@, the <th house represents litigation, and the .th house indicates the
opponent in litigation.
". ,herefore, litigation would be imminent whenever the significators of the <th and .th
houses are operating in life.
3. ,he cause of the litigation is represented by the planets connected with & or associated
with & the <th house or its lord.
/. Success in litigation is promised by the lord of the 11th house or planets in the 11th
house. Success is also ensured if the <th and the .th houses come under the influence of
the lords of the stars or the occupants of the 1st, 3rd, /th, <th, 1=th and 11th houses.
0. *f the lord of the <th house is connected with the 11th house, or the 11th house is
connected with the lord of the <th house, success in litigation is realiEed.
<. ,he above 2F03 also suggests that the connection of the lords of the 1"th and 0th
houses will cause failure in absolute terms.

-art of +ortune
1. ,he @art of 5ortune 2@53 is calculated by adding the longitude of the +scendant plus
the Moon minus the Sun.
,o calculate @5# Say that in a given chart the +scendant is posited at =< degrees @isces
"1 minutes, the Moon is posited at ". degrees 8eo /= minutes, and the Sun is posited at

". 5or transit results, the @art of 5ortune deserves serious attention. Dften times the @5
indicates certain results which are not so apparent when looking solely at the aspects
formed by the transits to the natal planets.
3. ,he calculated points in a chart 2+scendant and Midheaven3 change ;uickly & as
does the @art of 5ortune. onsider the effects of the aspects produced from these points
& as they change rapidly & and therefore will be the determining factor for assessing
differences when considerations are given for births that occur within a tight time frame
of one another. Gifferent aspects produce different results, and therefore the @5 should
be included in your chart assessments to both fine tune predictions and account for the
experiences with respect to different life circumstances6events for individuals born
within a few minutes of one another.
-lanetary (ffects:
1. *n )@, how are we to 'udge how the planets will react in any given situationK
+ planet moving in a star is primarily under the influence of the lord of that star, and the
planet will predominately give the results of the house the star lord occupies, in addition
to the house(s) owned by the star lord. ,hen, the planet itself will offer the results of the
house it occupies and the house2s3 it owns. +ssess both the star lord and the planet to
determine the nature of the event.
-olitical &areer:
Saturn denotes diplomacy$ Sun government, power, position, name, and fame$ 1upiter
dignity and wisdom$ Mars coercion, controlling power and dominance$ (ahu politics
and government.
8eo, Sagittarius, apricorn, and +;uarius$ cardinal signs$ angular houses, houses 4, 1=,
and 11 are to be considered for cases of politics and public life.
+scendant denotes inclinations$ 1=th house cusp ambitions$ 11th cusp realiEation of
ambitions and aspirations, success in general.
So if the sub lord of the +scendant, 1=th cusp and 11th cusp are strong significators of
the 4th, 1=th, and 11th, the native plunges into public life, or he shines as a statesman or
politician.
*t should also be remembered that a planet owning both the ,rikona and )endra gives
prosperity in general.
