        \n
      • The mind of the questioner is crucial<\/strong> in Prashna.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If the querent is serious and focused, Prashna will give clear results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • If the question is asked casually, results may be inaccurate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        B. Types of Prashna (Queries in Horary Astrology)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Queries can be about various aspects of life, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          C. The Role of Lagna (Ascendant) in Prashna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • The Lagna (Ascendant) in Prashna Kundali<\/strong> represents the querent and their question.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • A strong Lagna lord<\/strong> indicates a positive outcome.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • A weak or afflicted Lagna<\/strong> shows difficulty in achieving the desired result.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            D. Strength of the Moon in Prashna<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • The Moon signifies the mental state<\/strong> of the querent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • A strong Moon in Kendra or Trikona<\/strong> gives clarity and success<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • A Moon in Dusthana (6th, 8th, 12th house)<\/strong> shows doubts, delays, or failures<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              2. Step-by-Step Process of Prashna Nirnay<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Step 1: Casting the Prashna Chart<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Take the exact time and place<\/strong> when the question is asked.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Prepare the Horary (Prashna) Chart<\/strong> based on this moment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Step 2: Identifying the Key House Related to the Query<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                  \n
                • Check the strength of the house lord and planets placed in that house.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • If benefic planets<\/strong> (Jupiter, Venus, Moon, Mercury) are present, results are positive<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • If malefic planets<\/strong> (Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Ketu) are strong, results may be negative or delayed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Step 3: Checking the Strength of the Lagna and Lagna Lord<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • A strong Lagna<\/strong> (occupied by own sign, exalted planet, or benefic aspects) supports a favorable outcome<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • A weak Lagna or Lagna lord in 6th, 8th, 12th house<\/strong> indicates problems and failure<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
