THE HOROSCOPE
A Horoscope is a map of the heavens for a given moment which may be the birth
time of the child (or) the time of an event taking place (or) the time of the query.
Horoscope will contain the details of planetary position, Rasi chart, Navamsa chart and
Dasa Bhukti details. Horoscopes are prepared with the help of Almanacs (or)
Ephemeris.
Rasi chart is a map of heaven which shows the planetary position at given
moment of time of birth of child (or) time of inquiry.
Ex: (1)
Lagna means the rising Sign at the time of birth. Rasi means the sign occupied
by the moon at the time of birth. In the above chart Lagna is Dhanus. Rasi is Simha
(because Moon is in Simha). The rasis are also called Houses (or) Bhavas. The Lagna
sign will represent the first house. When we count from Lagna clock-wise, the second
sign is called second house. Like wise the twelve houses are considered while analyzing
the horoscope.
Navamsa chart is a ready reckoner through which we can easily find-out the
Nakshatra pada in which the planets are posited. Navamsa chart is also drawn in the
similar manner of Rasi Chart .
