STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The questions everyone actually asks a jyotishi.

Each answer names the houses, planets and dashas the tradition reads it from — then a free tool that settles it for your chart.

When will I get married?The question every family asks first. Jyotish does not pull a date from thin air — it reads the 7th house, its lord, Venus and Jupiter, and the dasha running now. Am I Manglik?Mangal dosha means Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from your lagna — stricter schools also count it from the Moon. It is a flag for marital friction, not a curse. Is Sade Sati running for me?Sade Sati is Saturn's 7½-year passage through the sign before, of, and after your natal Moon — three phases of about 2½ years each, each with its own texture. Love marriage or arranged, which does my chart show?Jyotish reads the 5th house (romance), the 7th house (marriage), Venus, Rahu and the Moon — the combination tells whether affection precedes the wedding or follows it. Job or business — which suits my chart?The 10th house and its lord, Saturn (service) versus the 7th and Mercury (trade), and the strength of the lagna lord decide whether a chart earns best on payroll or on its own name. Which nakshatra am I born in?Your janma nakshatra is the lunar mansion the Moon occupied at your birth — it sets your first dasha, your name-sound, and half of every compatibility score.
