Horary Astrology

 

Horary astrology or Prasan Shastra deals with answering some specific question on the basis of time of query. It is one of the most important branches of astrology. Certain questions, requiring immediate answer can only be responded through a horary chart. It requires extreme skill, intuition & practice to properly judge a horoscope.
Jyotish-guru Shri late B.V. Raman Ji said in his book prasan marg quote:-
One undergoes the consequences of one’s previous karma from birth to death which can be known from his radical horoscope. Then what is the use of prasan? Prasana reveals to us whether a man reaps the fruits of his deeds in his previous birth or the fruits of his action in this birth.
Sir, how can we distinguish whether it is the result of our previous karma or presnt karma that is yiedling it’s result now?
When the horoscope has beneficial planetary patterns & the prasna chart malefic one, then it is to be understood that the native is experiencing the fruits of evil karma done in this birth.
When it is vice versa, then also the native is experiencing the effects of good karma done in this birth.
If the planetary patterns in the horoscope as well as in the prasna chart are similar, then a clever astrologer should divine that the native is experiencing the fruits of his past karma only.
