Prashna: The Chart of a Question · Gurukul Plus

The Querent, the Matter & the Moon

Who each part of the chart stands for.

This chapter is part of Gurukul Plus

The foundational curriculum — grahas, rashis, bhavas, nakshatras, dashas and how to read a chart with them — is free to read here and free to practise in the app. Prashna: The Chart of a Question is one of the advanced chapters, and its teaching text comes with Plus.

Plus is ₹1,999 a year, paid once. Nothing auto-renews. It opens every advanced chapter and raises your saved charts from one to four, so you can work on family charts alongside your own.

Writing up your experience in the community earns Plus days too — see the subreddit.

Terms introduced here

The lagna is the querent
The prashna lagna and its lord stand for the person asking: their footing and their capacity to act.
The house of the matter
The house that signifies the question, and its lord, stand for the thing asked about. Questions about other people turn the chart to their house first.
The Moon: mind and flow
The Moon shows the querent's state of mind and how the matter is flowing. Its strength and placement support or undercut everything else.
