Horary Astrology (Prashna Jyotisha): Answering Destiny’s Questions through Time
Introduction to Horary Astrology
Horary Astrology, known in Sanskrit as “Prashna Jyotisha”, is one of the most ancient and dynamic limbs of Vedic astrology. It is the divine science of answering specific questions based not on birth charts, but on the moment the question is asked. Unlike Jātaka (natal astrology), where a person’s entire life is read from the time of birth, Horary is focused, quick, and powerfully accurate when performed by a true Daivajña.
At Siddhavaani, we bring the depth of this tradition alive with precision, devotion, and clarity — offering seekers real answers when they need them most.
What is Horary Astrology?
Horary astrology operates on the belief that every moment is a seed of time, carrying within it the fruit of karmic consequence. When a question is posed sincerely, that very moment becomes a chart, revealing the truth hidden by uncertainty.
Key Concept:
“Prashnaṁ karmaṇi śaṅkāyām janmasāmye sameekṣitam”
(Prashna is applied when there is doubt regarding a result, and a birth chart is unavailable or unclear.)
When to Use Prashna Jyotisha?
Prashna Jyotisha is especially useful in situations like:
• No known birth details (date/time/place)
• Urgent decision-making (marriage, travel, property, legal, finance)
• Relationship doubts or love-life crises
• Health-related fears or missing person cases
• Spiritual dilemmas, karmic confusion
How Does Horary Astrology Work?
At the exact moment the question is asked by the seeker (and received by the astrologer), a chart is cast based on the planetary positions of that time and place.
Key factors considered:
• Lagna (Ascendant) of the question moment
• Moon’s position, as Moon is the mind and the querent
• Significators (Kārakas) of the subject asked (e.g., 7th house for marriage)
• Dasha, Yoga, Shubh-Ashubh influences
• Planetary aspects, strengths, retrogressions, combustions
A skilled astrologer interprets the dynamic energy of the Prashna chart with mastery in both Shastra and intuition (Sūkṣma Darśana).
Scriptural Basis in Jyotisha Texts
Horary astrology is discussed in great detail in classical Sanskrit works like:
• Prashna Mārga – a Kerala classic entirely devoted to Horary
• Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra – foundational Jyotiṣa text with Prashna chapters
• Nāradīya Jyotisha, Tājika Neelakanthi – texts using timing & permutations
• Laghu Prashna Chandrika – for simplified yet accurate Prashna readings
