Have you ever faced a situation where you desperately needed guidance, but didn’t know your exact birth time or details? Or maybe you just wanted an answer to a very specific question—like, “Will I clear my entrance exam?” or “Is this job offer right for me?” That’s where Prashna Kundali, also known as Horary Astrology, steps in as a powerful tool.
Unlike a birth chart, which relies on the date, time, and place of birth, Prashna Kundali provides insights based on the exact time a question is asked. And yes, when used properly, it can offer surprisingly accurate “yes or no” answers.
What is Prashna Kundali?
Prashna Kundali is a specialized branch of Vedic astrology where the horoscope is created for the moment a specific question is asked. This moment becomes the seed of insight, revealing clues about the querent’s situation, energies, and possible outcomes.
In simple words, when you ask an astrologer a serious, heartfelt question, they cast a chart for that very minute and location. That chart is your Prashna Kundali – the horoscope of the question itself.
Can Prashna Kundli Give “Yes or No” Answers?
Yes, Prashna Kundli can give precise yes or no answers—but there’s a catch. The accuracy depends largely on:
- How clearly the question is framed
- The sincerity of the seeker
- The skill and intuition of the astrologer interpreting the chart
If the question is structured well, like “Will I get a job offer that aligns with my passion and offers financial growth in the next 3 to 6 months?”, the Prashna Kundali can deliver a clear and context-aware yes or no, and often with additional details.
In fact, many people who have used Prashna astrology say the results are uncannily accurate, especially when the birth date is unknown or incomplete.
How Does Prashna Kundali Work?
Here’s what makes Prashna so powerful—and how to approach it correctly:
1. Ask the Right Question
Vague questions get vague answers. Instead of: “Will I get a job?” Ask: “Will I get a job that brings autonomy, fulfillment, and an increase in income in the next 3–6 months?”
For marriage: “Will I find a partner compatible with my lifestyle and approved by my family?”
The clearer your intent, the more precise the cosmic answer.
2. Include Timing in the Question
Not sure how to interpret planetary timings? Just add a timeframe in your question.
Example: “Will I pass my board exams within the next three months?”
3. Respect the Answer
Even if the answer isn’t what you hoped for, trust the process. Prashna Kundali shows the energy at the time of asking. It can be brutally honest.
4. Limit to 1–3 Questions
Avoid bombarding the astrologer or the cosmos with too many questions. It shows doubt and blocks intuitive clarity.
5. Choosing Between Two Options?
In such cases, the 1st house (ascendant) represents option A, and the 7th house signifies option B. The option whose ruling planet is stronger or more favorable becomes the better choice.
If you want to find out WHY certain situation is occuring then a full analysis of the prashna chart will need to be read just like the natal chart. You need an skill astrologer like Acharya Dr R. A Sharma (Gold Medalist) who brings over 10 years of experience in providing accurate and insightful readings.
Difference Between Prashna Kundali and Janma Kundali
| Aspect | Prashna Kundali | Janma Kundali (Birth Chart) |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Answers one specific question at a specific time | Provides a full life overview |
| Data Needed | Time and place of asking the question | Date, time, and place of birth |
| Focus | Current karmic moment (ongoing karma) | Past karmas and their outcomes |
| Use Case | When birth details are unavailable or guidance is needed quickly | Used for long-term analysis and predictions |
| Scope | One question, one chart | Multiple life areas and timelines |
When Should You Use Prashna Kundali?
- When your birth details are missing or uncertain
- When you need a quick, direct answer
- For time-sensitive decisions like job changes, travel, relationship doubts, legal issues, etc.
- When Janma Kundali is too broad, and you want to focus on one burning question
Final Thoughts: The Power of the Present Moment in Astrology
Prashna Kundali is not just a technique, it’s a spiritual tool that taps into the energy of the now. It proves that astrology is not just about when you were born, but also about what you’re aligned with in the moment you seek guidance.
So, if you ever find yourself wondering, “Will this work out?”, “Should I go for it?”, or “Is this the right time?”—a well-formed question and a skilled astrologer can help you unlock the answer through Prashna.
