In P#rnimanta the month starts 15 da-s 5efore the ne, Boon 8 ends on f#ll Boon called P#ranmasi meaning ;month is com'lete.; In Amanta month starts after ne, moon. The months are named same as in Indian 2ational Calender and thestart ,ithin 15 da-s 5efore or after, of starting of months in Indian 2ational Calender. $ince the s'eed of Boon is 0aria5le and it can cross o0er $#n at an- degree. 2e, moon ma- sometimes occ#r t,ice in the same Iasi or ma- not occ#r at all in some rasi. This gi0es formation of Adhi7 8 +sha- Bah res'ecti0el-. In case of Adhi7 month= the t,o months are named as first and the other as second. $h#7la Pa7sh of the first and +rishna Pa7sh of the second are called the adhi7 month, ,hich is normall- a0oided in most m#h#rthas. In case of 7sha- month, one month is di0ided into t,o Pa7shas and each month is assigned one Pa7sh. The first month ha0ing +rishna Pa7sh is called +sha- Bah and the other is termed normal Bah. Ln the a0erage -ear as 2).53 x 12 < 35".3( da-s, ,hich is less 5- 11 da-s com'ared to earth:s c-cle. Th#s in e0er- three -ears there is an Adhi7 Bah to co0er the ga' of these 11 da-s. +sha- Bah occ#se rarel-. After or 5efore +sha- Bah

This is 5eca#se of the earth:s rotation aro#nd its axis. The eastern horiJon is called the first ho#se, ,hereas the ,estern horiJon is the tend to differ if the ascendant degree is high and 'lanet degree is lo, or 0ice 0ersa. To re'resent this sit#ation, sometimes ,e 'lace the 'lanet in Bha0a $andhi. 1e dra, a chart ,ith t,el0e ho#ses and t,el0e Bha0a $andhis.

In the $o#th Indian st-le ,here each 5ox re'resents a sign >not a ho#se? ,e mar7 the ho#ses ,ith degrees and 'lace the 'lanets and ho#ses in the order of the degree theo,n. If a 'lanet is 5e-ond the limit of the ho#se ,e ta7e it in the next ho#se. Different methods are in 0og#e to determine the extent of the ho#se. &o,e0er, onl- t,o s-stems of ho#se di0ision are common. 1. Indian s-stem of ho#se di0ision 9 In this s-stem ascendant and the mid hea0en are calc#lated and the difference 5et,een them is di0ided into six e6#al 'arts. The mid hea0en is the centre of 1/th ho#se. Adding the sixth 'art gi0es the ending of 1/th ho#se or starting of 11th ho#se. Adding of sixth 'art again and again gi0es 11th ho#se middle, 12th ho#se 5eginning, 12th ho#se middle, 1st ho#se 5eginning and 1st ho#se middle.

Then see the as'ects o0er these 'lanets, or this ho#se and then see ,here the lord of the concerned ho#se is 'laced and ,hich are the 'lanets as'ecting it. Pro'er amalgamation of the 'ro'erties and a little 'ractice of lin7ing things together gi0es -o# the 5est of 'rediction. The s'ecial effects in the horosco'e can 5e seen 5loo7ing at the 0ario#s %ogas formed in the horosco'e. The 'o,erf#l %ogas ta7e a,athe attention from other as'ects and the- 5ecome more effecti0e in life. 4or exam'le, in this horosco'e K#'iter and Berc#r- are in exchange %oga, that is, K#'iter is in the ho#se of Berc#r- and Berc#rin the ho#se of K#'iter. This exchange gi0es the nati0e a strong li7ing for calc#lation and astrolog-, since the exchange is 5et,een 2nd and 5th ho#ses. It increases the intelligence le0el and gi0es him a 'rofessional career. $imilarl- Boon is 'ressed 5et,een Bars and +et# from 5oth the sides, forming D#rdh#ra %oga, ,hich gi0es nati0e ,ealth,

U#es. In 'redictions ,hat is more im'ortant . 'lanet, ho#se or sign3

Ans. In Indian s-stem 'lanet is most im'ortant and ho#se is next to the 'lanet in im'ortance. This is 'ro5a5l- to ma7e things easier. In the s-stem of Fal +ita5 sign has 5een dro''ed totall-, after confirming the ho#se in ,hich a 'lanet is sitting. Planet in a ho#se ma7es significance in 'rediction, ,hereas 'lanet in sign onl- gi0es 7no,ledge a5o#t its strength. This strength f#rther gets modified d#e to 'resenceGas'ect of other 'lanets. U#es.Does one get affected 5- some one else:s Bethod B Bethod A Bethod C Fine of realit"/ horosco'e3 If -es, then ,hat is the sanctit- of the horosco'e3 Ans. Fi7e one is affected 5'lanets, he is affected 5- another item in his 0icinit-. @0er5od- has a gra0itational '#ll . small or large. @ffect of 'lanets is 0isi5le 5eca#se of their large mass. $tars of m#ch higher mass do not ha0e that m#ch of effect 5eca#se of their large distance. $econdl-, o#r 'o,er of com'#tation is limited. K#st the nine 'lanets and t,el0e signs ma7e so man- com5inations that it is diffic#lt to correlate them ,ith life. &orosco'e ha0ing N#st nine 'lanets is not the com'lete re'resentation of ,hat ,e are.

The horosco'e of the 'lace or a 0ehicle in ,hich 'assengers are tra0elling, s#'ersedes the horosco'es of the nati0es. &ence, in a calamit- e0er-one:s horosco'e does not necessarilindicate death. &o,e0er, this 'oint needs f#rther research and 0ie,s from the readers.
