Prashna Hora (Horary Astrology and Cosmic Psyche in Classical and Nadi)

This book deals with Horary Astrology in general and Naadi Prashna Hora in particular. Astrology has many branches and horary astrology (Prashna Sastra) is a branch, which deals with answering questions. Prashna Marga is a great work exclusively accredited with prime place especially in Kerala state in south India. We are aware that everything beneath and above the sky are all represented by planets. Therefore, what is signified in the Prashna chart by planets will also be signified by many other audio-visual effects surrounding the person asking question at the time of thought process of a particular matter relating to either present or past effects of Karma. These audiovisual effects are to be attributed to planets. However, in Prashna Marga, instead of attributing the planets to these audiovisual phenomena, they are used for certain significations relating to the matter. "Though the main aim is to introduce the structured method in Naadi Horary astrology, I have introduced some portions from Prashna Marga and Shatpanchasikha as there is close relationship with regard to selecting a reference point in the horary chart. In both of these systems the Aroodha Lagna is given importance, which is computed by different selection methods. In Naadi, the selection of reference point is Hora lord. I have been experimenting to combine the principles of Parasara, Jataka Chandrika, Bhavartha ratnakara and Phaladeepika. Exploring the link between Kendra and Kona houses, my experiments lead me to reframe the rules not only in traditional astrology but also to Prashna Hora in Naadi."- Excerpt From Prashna Hora (Horary Astrology & Cosmic Psyche in Classical & Nadi) by Satyanarayana Naik. The highlight of this work is the revelation of secret behind the importance of Kendra and Kona houses propounded in Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra and its explanatory sequels Jataka Chandrika and Phaladeepika. The sequence of Kendra and Kona counts revealed amazing truth behind many secrets in astrology. These relates in every aspect of astrology having relationship with orbits of planets. The sequence on which Rahu kala is attributed to weekdays is also explained. All these are fundamentals by nature and therefore discussed in every chapter where relative preliminaries are dealt. Naadi numerology is one more invention introduced in this book. This is useful in snapshot predictions for questions.
