How Prashna Works

1

Chart Cast — A horary chart is drawn for the exact moment you submit your question.

2

Arudha Lagna — The rising point determined by your facing direction, more important than the Ascendant.

3

Sphutas — Prana (life force), Deha (body), and Mrityu (death) sensitive points are calculated and interpreted.

4

Modules — The appropriate classical module is applied based on your question type.

5

Reading — A structured 6-section reading is generated following Module 17.1 of Prasna Marga.
