What's on your mind?

Most people arrive at an astrologer with one question rather than a general curiosity — a marriage that will not settle, a career that has stalled, a court matter, a child’s health. The pages below are grouped that way: by the question, not by the planet.

Each life area explains which houses and planets are actually read for it, what a chart can reasonably indicate, and what it cannot. Marriage timing is read from the 7th house, its lord and the running dasha; career from the 10th and its lord; litigation from the 6th — and in every case the dasha decides when, while the house decides what.

If you do not know where your question belongs, start with the free kundli below: the chart itself usually makes the area obvious.
