This book covers the subject of Prasna Shastra, also called Horary Astrology, in great detail. This is built upon the foundation of several classical texts, including Prasnamarga, Prasnatantra, Daivajna Vallabha, Krishniyam, Shatpanchashika, and others. The concepts are explained with examples.
The focus of this volume (Part 1) is Prasnas relating to the 12 Bhavas. For instance, 2H Prasna deals with financial gains; 4H Prasna 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 Prasna is extensive and includes Nimittas, Ashtamangala Prasna, Manomushti Prasna, Karyasiddhi Prasna, Devaprasna, analysis of dreams, and esoteric Chakras like Chandragupti Chakra, 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.
