There are many standard te*ts available on $orary Astrology Astrology such as Krishneeyam, Shatpanhashi!a, "rashna #naana, $aivagna Valla%ha, "rashna Marga, &inen'ra Maala, "ragnyaana $eepi!a, Aarya sapthasathi, "rashna Vi'ya, et.

Divide the sum by 05 ! The remainder gives the sign where the planet-lagna will be posited in the %avamsa chart! "n natal Astrology # %avamsa is the most important divisional chart which is considered to be a supplementary birth chart in itself! :sually# none of the learned astrologers venture in to prediction without consulting the navamsa chart! "n natal Astrology # although it is generally said to signify married life# nature of spouse and other marital aspects# it inter alia reveals the strength and wea+nesses of planets as well as the periods of stresses or strains in life! "n $orary Astrology # %avamsa is e*tensively used in answering &ueries related to almost all matters right from finding the very purpose of the &uerists visit in ‘,oo+a prasna to +nowing the lost- stolen article# nature of rebirth# return of a traveler# etc# A few of these applications are discussed below! a" Findin# the nature o$ a %ueri!t&!

"n actual prediction# the nature of planets influencing these navamsas are also ta+en in to account ! The influence of natural benefics li+e @uru# su+ra indicates the involvement of high cost# wide or e*pensive areas of concern# etc while that of natural malefics indicate cheaper #smaller or less e*pensive ones! (" -uer. re)ated to )o!t/!to)en artic)e!:
The above chart itself is very useful in +nowing the nature of any lost or stolen article ! As regards the thief# the lagna and lagna navamsa are to be noted and decided as follows6 i/ "f the lagna or lagna %avamsa is a fi*ed one or if the lagna %avamsa is vargottama# then the article must have been stolen by a close relative of the &uerist or it may be misplaced by the &uerist himself! ii/ "f it is a movable sign # the thief is an outsider and iii/ "f it is a dual sign # the thief cannot be identified! The stolen article has been ta+en as many yo;anas as the navamsa lagna is distant from the first navamsa of in the first half and from the central navamsa in the second half of the lagna! c" 0no1in# the nature o$ re(irth : The nature of rebirth of a deceased person is to be deduced from the nature of
d"-uer. re)ated to the tie o$ return o$ a trave)er : 7ind the strongest planet in the horary chart and count the number of signs in which it is placed away from the lagna! The traveler will return in so many months indicated by this number! "f the strongest planet is posited in a chara %avamsa . ,esha# 9ata+a# Thula# ,a+ara/ # the time period is ta+en as indicated by the number! "f it be placed in a sthira navamsa# the time period is to be doubled and if it is posited in a Dwiswabhava %avamsa # the time period is to be trebled! e"-uer. re)ated to +arria#e:
As regards 8ivaha Prashna# the following indications are seen from a horary chart6 i/ "f strong ,oon and 8enus occupy even signs and %avamsas and aspect lagna# a person will be able to marry the girl in view early! ii/ "f the lagna falls in a female dre++ana and an even navamsa aspected by 8enus and ,oon# then the marriage will ta+e place soon! iii/ "f the lagna and ,oon are located in %avamsa of a natural benefic# happy and favourable marriage is indicated ! "f they occupy the %avamsa of a natural benefic it leads to death! "f 8enus is in an even sign and Moon occupies a female navamsa both being iv/ strong and aspecting the prashna lagna fully# early marriage is indicated! ,arriage ta+es place when ,oon transits the navamsa sign occupied by the lord v/ of the ?th house from lagna ! vi/ "f 8enus is posited in ,ars Basi or %avamsa and connected with ,ars# the person would get a cruel wife! "f this yoga occurs in Saturns signs or %avamsas or if 8enus is in neecha Basi or %avamsa# he would get married to a mean or lowIclass girl! $"-uerie! re)ated to Birth o$ chi)dren:
The following points based on %avamsha of horary chart may be used with advantage in dealing with Santhana Prashna ! (. The time of oneption) "f se*ual union ta+es place when Cupiter is in the Basi
or %avamsa occupied by 1 th lord# the Sun is in the rasi or navamsa occupied by the lord of navamsa lagna and ,oon is in the Basi and %avamsa occupied by the lagna lord# then the woman will conceive and give birth to a child! *. $etetion of pregnany) a+"f the lord of 1 th house be in an odd sign or %avamsa and in 9endra to ,andi # pregnancy is indicated! b/"f ,oon or Bahu occupy or aspect the %avamsa sign tenanted by 1 th lord # there is no symptom of pregnancy so far! Page > of 1
c/"f the navamsa occupied by 1 th lord is a fi*ed sign and a downwardIloo+ing one# and be occupied or aspected by Saturn# there is no sign of preganancy! d/ Position of Sun# ,oon# ,ars and 8enus in Swanavamsa indicates pregnancy! + Se- of the hil' )
Odd sign rising # aspected by benefics and strongly influenced by male planets in prashna chart as well as its sha'vargas .hora# dre++ana# %avamsa# Dwadashamsa and Trimsamsa/ signifies male child while even sign in Prashna lagna and its shadvargas #influenced by strong female planets signifies female child! + Num%er of /hil'ren 6
a/7ind the number of %avamshas gained by 1 th lord and as many children can be e*pected! ."n the present times with family planning norms being adopted by almost all people # this principle may not wor+!/! b/,oon# 8enus or ,ars posited in dual sign or %avamsa and aspected by ,ercury gives the birth of twins! 0+Time of $elivery )
The time of delivery is calculated from the prasna lagna by calculating the number of navamsas elapsed in lagna! The pregnancy is as many months old as the number of navamsas elapsed in prashna lagna! Delivery can be e*pected in as many months as the number of navamsas remaining in lagna ! Conc)u!ion : As could be seen from the above discussion # %avamsa is entensively used in $orary Astrology! There are many more applications in %ashta Cata+a# Ayur and Boga Prashna# )adha Prashna # )ho;ana Prashna# etc!#which are not dealt with for want of space! Beaders may refer to Prashna marga# 9rishneeyam and other classics for further details on the sub;ect! Shu%hamasthu 1
