2) To create a horoscope, we’ll need the person’s date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Horoscopes can be created manually using a Panchanga (Almanac) or using Astrology software. After preparing the horoscope, we may begin reading it by following the instructions below.
The Basics of Horoscope Reading:
1. Determine the Ascendant / Lagna in the Horoscope (the Ascendant / Lagna is shown in the chart by the letters As or Lag.)
2. Determine the location of the Moon in the Rasi house.
3. Determine which planets are assigned to each rasi and house.

In astrology, how do you foretell death?
A professional astrologer may foretell the sickness that causes a person’s death based on the nature of the planet that aspects the 8th house, and the part of the body that will be affected is the 8th House in the Kalapurusha division.
The sickness that leads to death is caused by the Dosha (humour) symbolized by the planet in the 8th House.
If many planets inhabit the 8th House, the body will be subjected to multiple attacks as a result of the excess of various Humours indicated by such powerful planets, which will result in death.
Fire would be the cause of death if the Sun was in the 8th House. When other planets are positioned in the 8th House, the following factors play a role in death:
- When the Moon is in the 8th House, death is a result of water.
- When Mars is in this House, weapons cause death.
- When Mercury is present, fever causes death.
- When Jupiter is present, chronic diseases are the cause of death.
- When Venus is in this House, thieves cause death, and
- When Saturn is in this House, death is the result of famine.
If the 8th House is a moveable sign, death will occur in a foreign location; if it is a fixed sign, death will occur in one’s own home; and if it is a common sign, death will occur while traveling.
If the 8th House is aspected by the Sun, bile or heat, if the Moon is wind and bile, if Mars is bile and heat, if Mercury is bile, wind and phlegm, if Jupiter is phlegm, if Venus is phlegm and wind, and if Saturn is wind, the sickness will develop.
According to Indian Jyotish Guru Dr. Raman, if no planet occupies or aspects the 8th House, the lord of the 8th House should be evaluated, and the ailment defined by the Humours suggested by that planet.
According to Ayurveda, good health is ensured when the three Doshas (humours) of wind, bile, and phlegm are in balance.
“Each Dosha produces specific ailments,” Dr. Raman explains, “and the particular nature of the disease from which a person dies should be determined with reference to the humour given to the planet ruling, situated in, or aspecting the horoscope’s 8th House.”
Fever, apoplexy, and paralysis are all symptoms of the sun.
Watery disorders, drowning, diarrhoea, dysentery, and blood impurities are all caused by the moon. Death from pneumonia, cholera, plague, and other epidemics, as well as hemorrhage, bronchitis, abortion, surgical operations, and gunshot accidents, are all brought on by Mars.
Mercury poisoning can result in death from brain fever, small pox, nerve illnesses, whooping cough, and attacks.
Jupiter brings death due to mental anguish or an undiagnosed sickness, such as pleurisy, liver disease, pulmonary inflammation, heart failure, and spasms.
Excessive thirst, starvation, excessive heat, and venereal illness are all brought on by Venus.
Suffocation, burns, rheumatic fever, paralysis, melancholia, and tuberculosis are all caused by Saturn.
Death is not seen by astrology as a misfortune for the native.
It considers a person’s death to be lucky if it occurs peacefully. Only those close to the departed perceive death to be a calamity.
What is the meaning of your horoscope?
A natal chart (also known as a birth chart) is an astronomical image of the stars based on the precise date, time, and location of your birth. We compute the location of each planet, as well as the sign of the zodiac and house it was in at the time of your birth, using NASA data.
Is it possible for me to read my own Kundli?
Because it is regarded as the Vedas’ eyes, it should only be used when it is absolutely necessary. when you’re ready This is a serious science, and failing to do so can be disastrous. “Do not read your own Kundli,” it is urged, especially to people with only a smattering of information.
In Kundli, which chart is most crucial for career?
The Rashi of sportsmen, attorneys, judges, preachers, finance, judges, capitalists, wool, and shoe traders is Sagittarius (Dhanus). Capricorn (Makara) jobs include wood and lumber, geologists, mineralogists, real estate agents, and forest department employees. Aquarius (Kumbha) is associated with astrology, counseling, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), philosophy, computers, and engineering. Oil, chemicals, perfume, the navy, sailors, surgeons, doctors, jailors, secret services, hospitals, and jails are all associated with Pisces (Meena).
Analysing Profession In The Chart
The primary house of profession is the tenth house of the birth chart. The Dashamsha is a divisional chart that is used to determine one’s professional path. The Dashamsha’s Lagna ruler must be checked. The lord of the Navamsha Rashi in which the 10th lord is placed is then studied. The most powerful planet gives a clear indication of career. The sign in which the Atmakaraka is located in the Navamsa is also studied by Jaimini astrologers. If the Sun is present, it denotes a position in government or the public sector. The Moon represents education, Mars represents the army, police, or electrical, and Mercury represents politics, business, or social services. Venus is a politician, and Jupiter or Saturn imply the same career as the father.
The Varga ChartDashamsha Or D10
The Dashamsha chart is derived from the Varga chart by splitting all the Rashis into tenths, i.e., the 30 degrees of a Rashi into 3-degree portions. It is the most essential career and profession divisional chart. It also demonstrates the person’s impact on society as a whole. Every indication found in the birth chart must be verified in the Navamsa and Dashamsha. Only after observing patterns repeat in all of the aspects being evaluated can an inclination toward a certain career be established. A single placement should not be utilized to draw firm conclusions. The D10’s tenth house is an excellent indication of a person’s occupation. The D10’s Lagna is also examined for auspiciousness. The Dashamsha has a meaning that is quite similar to the 10th house in the natal chart.
D10 Lagna
The Rashi in which the Dashamsha’s Lagna falls is significant. If the D10 Lagna is in a Dusthana, the Dashamsha will not have a significant impact on the person’s vocation. If the D10’s Lagna is strong, we might consider the D10’s indicators to be important. The next step is to research D1’s lord of the 10th house and where it falls in the D10, as well as the D10’s lord of the 10th house. The profession is spiced up by planets that impact these houses through placement or aspect. Repeated patterns that keep confirming one indication increase the importance of that indicator.
Similarly, an astrologer examines the placement of the Lagnesh of the D10, as well as the planets that are in it and those that are aspecting it. Planets in Kendras and Trikonas are more auspicious than those in or linked with the Dusthanas, as in any chart. Planets that are aspected by or situated with the D10’s Lagnesh are beneficial to a person’s chosen career.
Additional Career And Profession Indicators
The number of professional alternatives available to a person is growing at a rapid rate. The astrologer must combine the meanings of the planets, houses, and Rashis and effectively apply them to contemporary conceptions of various professions. Classical writings, for example, do not define a career in film or journalism. The astrologer deftly connects traditional conceptions of professions’ fundamentals to modern methods of working and making a living. The following examples of careers and their planets will help you understand how the planets’ meanings relate to each profession.
Communication, Aviation And Metallurgy
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air signs that indicate a career in aviation when they are prominent. Gemini and the planet Mercury are intimately associated with careers in communication. Mars, as well as the Mars-ruled signs of Aries and Scorpio, are planets of engineering. Saturn rules the process of obtaining metals and ores from the ground. The Sun, Mercury, and Mars are the planets that govern metallurgy.
What does it mean to have a South Indian chart type?
The South Indian Chart is based on the Rashi system. The planets are placed in the box that corresponds to the Rashi or sign in which they are located once the chart is completed. In the proper box, the ascendant is marked. A slanting line or the words Asc or Lagna in the relevant box are used to indicate it. The houses are then manually counted from the ascendant or Lagna. To some, this may appear to be a time-consuming process, but with experience and time, the astrologer will be able to visualize the house numbers without having to count each time.
The Advantages Of The South Indian Chart
The benefits of this chart format include a closer resemblance to genuine astronomy of the sky. It also makes it quite simple to see the planet’s dignity at a look. There is no need to redraw or visualize the chart while shifting the Lagna and seeing it from the Moon or any other planet. All of the purposes are served by a single chart.
In a South Indian chart, people who are used to viewing characteristics in other charts will have to do a lot of manual counting. With experience, this, too, becomes much easier. The counting of the South Indian chart begins with the second box in the topmost row, which is always Aries (Mesha), and then continues clockwise. Because the Rashis are always in the same boxes and do not require labeling, there is no need to number any of the boxes. Counting from the box labeled Lagna/ascendant will also lead you to the house numbers. Some people utilize house numbers that are labeled for ease of use.
A Rashi-by-Rashi chart comparison is fairly simple with the South Indian chart. The two graphs are compared and contrasted. Because the Rashis are static, it’s simple to determine where one person’s planet sits in reference to the planet of the other. For instance, while matchmaking, one can locate the boy’s Moon. Then simply count to the Moon of the girl’s horoscope to see how the relationship will develop.
This chart is considerably easier to populate with planets because each Rashi in the chart is assigned the same amount of space. There are no oddly shaped smaller sections into which planets must be crammed.
The North Indian Chart
The North Indian Kundali, or diamond chart, is more of an astrological than an astronomical perspective. It’s a chart with a focus on the house. The houses that each segment symbolizes are static in this instance. The Rashis allocated to the various divisions are always changing. As a result, the first box on the chart is always first, and the seventh box is always seventh. The benefit of the North Indian chart type is that the Kendras and Trikonas can be seen at a glance.
In astrology, how do you read houses?
The Ascendant also displays the ruling planet of the chart. A person with a Sagittarius Ascendant, for example, is ruled by generous Jupiter, but someone with a Pisces Ascendant is ruled by compassionate Neptune.
The Ascendant is used not only to determine our personal geography, but also to design the chart’s unique architecture. The Ascendant’s horizontal line delineates the First House in birth charts read counterclockwise. We follow the sections, or Houses, and begin our ascent to the top of the chart on the right side of the horizon line at the Descendent. Finally, the Twelfth House, which borders the Ascendant to the north, brings the cycle to a close.
What are the positions of Rahu and Ketu in my horoscope?
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the solid real planets Moon, Sun, Mars, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, and Venus, as well as Rahu and Ketu, are used to analyze a chart. Our birth chart is formed by the arrangement or combination of planets at the time of our birth over the location of our birth, and it depicts our soul’s journey on this terrestrial level. The chart will reveal our personality as well as the types of relationships we will have in the future, as well as our work, finances, and health, to name a few topics. Furthermore, the Vedic system uses planetary periods and transits to predict when karmic events will occur in our lives.
Rahu and Ketu are places of churned up energy, pregnant with mysticism and importance, rather than planets of physical substance like the other seven planets. They are the spots where the orbits of the Moon and the Earth cross. The Moon’s Nodes, or Rahu and Ketu in Vedic language, are two locations of electromagnetic disturbances that are directly opposite each other and have come to be known as the Moon’s Nodes.
RahuKetu is the Sanskrit word for the Moon’s Nodes together. The Moon’s north node is Rahu, and its south node is Ketu. They are always 180 degrees apart, or precisely opposite each other.
In a Vedic astrology chart, they create the karmic axis, which indicates the types of karmas that each person will encounter in this life. They also reveal the aspects of your life you will concentrate on or strive for perfection in.
Lord Visnu, according to Indian mythology, resolved to immortalize the Deities (the seven planets).
Visnu had churned the water in order to extract a sacred nectar known as amrita, which he intended to use to immortalize the planetary Gods. In order to get the nectar elixir, Visnu had all of the planetary deities lined up. However, a demon named Rakshasha, who had the appearance of a dragon, had infiltrated the temple and disguised itself as a divinity in order to become immortal. Visnu drew out his sword and sliced the demon in two once he realized he had been duped into delivering the nectar to the demon. The dragon’s head became Rahu and its tail became Ketu, but they could no longer be killed because they had consumed the nectar. When the nodes, Rahu, and Ketu realized how upset they had made Visnu, they made amends and were granted planetary status. So, through the Rahu Ketu axis, Rahu and Ketu are a highly powerful force that functions in our lives to regulate karmic effects and situations. Rahu represents the dragon’s head, while Ketu represents the dragon’s tail.
The position of Rahu in the Vedic astrology chart indicates the person’s major concentration. Someone with Rahu in the ascendant sign (first house), for example, may be highly self-centered and may appear to others to be quite selfish. However, if that person wishes to be in a relationship, they must have this concentration, and it is their challenge to balance their personal demands with those of a partner. This is where a person with Rahu in the first house faces difficulties. Rahu in the 10th house of career is associated with a strong concentration on career and prestige, as well as a strong desire for power and status recognition. Those born with Rahu in the 6th house will be driven to aid others through healing and public service. Rahu in the 4th house will put a significant emphasis on household life. In this way, the Rahu Ketu axis can be used to add a new layer of significance to the chart, helping to illuminate each individual’s life purpose and direction, independent of their rising sign, Moon sign, or Sun sign.
Rahu signifies concentration and where you are most likely to focus your efforts, as well as unquenchable ambitions. To establish some harmony in our life, one of our problems will be to inhibit or regulate desires. Rahu in the tenth house can imply workaholism-like tendencies if left unchecked. Too much time spent at work might lead to an unhappy partner and, as a result, relationship issues. As a result, we can understand how our passion may also be a challenge. Rahu can also symbolise riches and power, which is why many Chinese people worship the dragon to bring fortune into their lives.
While Rahu is concerned with worldly and earthly issues, Ketu is more interested in bringing in past life wisdom that is relevant to this life and urging us to let go of emotional baggage and guilt. It will also push us to let up of intellectual reasoning to some level, as Ketu is more concerned with faith than with intellectual reasoning. In order to force us to change our psychological patterns and move on, Ketu can cause obstructions and anguish in our life. It may manifest as unfounded worries, encouraging study of the subconscious mind, which, in turn, can lead to significant changes and progress. Ketu is an idealistic planet that is concerned with transformation and submitting the ego to a greater power, which might lead to enlightenment.
So, on one side, we have Rahu, who is highly concerned in desires and the material world, and on the other side, we have Ketu, who is very involved in the spiritual realm. Both of these forces are at work in your life, stirring up your goals but also drawing you toward resignation. Herein lies the human predicament, as well as the character of our internal conflict.
Rahu also represents the ego and the body, thus it will urge us to seek fulfillment, success, and power in a certain area of our lives. In order to achieve its goals, it may be manipulative and deceitful, leading us to believe that we are looking out for the interests of others rather than our own. It is stated that all politicians have a strong Rahu! We can’t perceive the games Rahu is playing in our lives since he’s buried in our subconscious mind. This is why, in the Vedic and Yoga traditions, finding a Guru to aid you on your search to let go of the ego is considered vital, as it can be quite slippery and deceptive. Ketu, on the other hand, is associated with renunciation, liberation, and ultimate liberation from material concerns. Ketu is also associated with the soul. The Kundalini is raised when Rahu can shift his focus away from material gain and unite with Ketu. Rahu can rise from the root chakra to join Ketu in the crown chakra, resulting in union and enlightenment.
In the meantime, most of us will have to let our Rahu guide us into many various situations and sensations in each of our incarnations, knowing that true and lasting fulfillment in these areas is really an illusion. Once that realization has penetrated far into our mind, we may be ready to combine our Rahu and Ketu energies in order to reach Nirvana.
