Jyotish literally means the science of light, mentioned in the Vedas, is called Vedic astrology, one of the ancient forms of astrology known as Indian traditional Hindu astrology. In the Vedangas, Jyotish is placed in one of the six auxiliary streams as the ‘eyes’ of the Vedas. Brihmarishi Mayan was credited with a doctrine of astronomy titled Surya Siddhantha that was of great significance in tracking the movement of the Sun, Moon and other planets. This was repeatedly revised by well known mathematicians, astronomers and astrologers like Varahamihira and Aryabhata.
Jyotish comprises of six dynamic branches namely, astronomy (gola), mathematics (ganitha), natal chart (jataka), horary (prashna), electional (muhurtha) and omens (nimitta). It is based on fruits of Karma (resultant cycle of cause and effect) through Vedic philosophy that is reflected collectively through its vibrant arms. The charts reveal the past, present and future of every living creature. Vedic astrology is one of the time-tested tools to identify, foresee, seek relief and apprehend the misery.

Prashna Jyotish is a celebrated and most complex dynamic branch of Jyotish, is ritualistic and employs a set of techniques at the in assessment and interpretational levels. Prashna or horary, exclusively deals with questions on any subject based on the chart erected at the time of query, supported by various omens during consultation and pronouncement, directional indices of querent, flame of the lamp, breath of the astrologer and other numerous factors contribute in unfolding minutest details in assessment and suggestion of remedies. Prashna method or horary astrology is often employed after finding vulnerability to miseries in the natal chart, and to micro assess, and also often engaged directly on query. This system combines the other complex branches of astrology of observations of omens, panchanga (Hindu astrological almanac) with a specially created fixed zodiac or a momentary chart at query for the client, by super imposing it on the actual moving zodiac. This branch of astrology works on the principles of predictive natal astrology, though the applications at the interpretations vary greatly, reach and identify beyond the common means and assess through the state, positions and dignity of planets by their assumed forms that relate to divine, semi-divine, demonic or evil forces and influences.

Identification of paternal and maternal lineage curses

Moon represents human mind in Jyotish and its natal position reveals the human curve of mind that decodes physical, sexual, karmic and spiritual levels of an individual. This position reveals the desire of soul with karmic restrictions that specifically help the astrologer in understanding the design of psychological profile.
