STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions everyone actually asks a jyotishi.

Each answer names the houses, planets and dashas the tradition reads it from, then a free tool that settles it for your chart.

When will I get married?The question every family asks first. Jyotish does not pull a date from thin air, it reads the 7th house, its lord, Venus and Jupiter, and the dasha running now. Am I Manglik?Mangal dosha means Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from your lagna, stricter schools also count it from the Moon. It is a flag for marital friction, not a curse. Is Sade Sati running for me?Sade Sati is Saturn's 7½-year passage through the sign before, of, and after your natal Moon, three phases of about 2½ years each, each with its own texture. Love marriage or arranged, which does my chart show?Jyotish reads the 5th house (romance), the 7th house (marriage), Venus, Rahu and the Moon, the combination tells whether affection precedes the wedding or follows it. Job or business, which suits my chart?The 10th house and its lord, Saturn (service) versus the 7th and Mercury (trade), and the strength of the lagna lord decide whether a chart earns best on payroll or on its own name. Which nakshatra am I born in?Your janma nakshatra is the lunar mansion the Moon occupied at your birth, it sets your first dasha, your name-sound, and half of every compatibility score.
