This book covers the subject of Praśna Śāstra, also called Horary Astrology, in great detail. This is built upon the foundation of several classical texts, including Praśnamārga, Praśnatantra, Daivajña Vallabha, Kṛṣṇīyam, Ṣaṭpañcāśikā and others. The concepts are explained with examples.
The focus of this volume (Part 1) is Praśnas relating to the 12 Bhāvas. For instance, 2H Praśna deals with financial gains; 4H Praśna deals with Agriculture, cultivation, and leasing agreements. 6H deals with matters concerning diseases, employee-employer relationships etc. The treatment of each of these topics is detailed with copious notes and explanations.
The subject of Praśna is extensive and includes Nimittas, Aṣṭamaṅgala Praśna, Manomuṣṭi Praśna, Kāryasiddhi Praśna, Devapraśna, Analysis of Dreams, and Esoteric Cakras like Candragupti Cakra which is used to locate water underground. Many of these topics will be covered in Part 2 (Book 23B).
This book aims to build a robust theoretical foundation; therefore, you will not find practical examples. If time permits, I will write a separate volume demonstrating the use of these principles with real-life case studies.

He is a seeker and wishes to understand the alignment of the forces that govern the celestial bodies and worldly affairs. In his studies over the thirty years, he endeavoured to uncover the hidden meaning behind the shlokas and sutras of the classical texts and reconcile their differences. His search for the hidden meaning behind the Jyotish principles took shape in this book, “In Search of Jyotish”. He wishes to share his observations, reflections and experiences with like-minded seekers.
