Meaning of Hor

1-5. The Creator Brahma has written on the foreheads of all living beings
their fates, which are deciphered by the astrologers through their pure
insight. The first and last letters in the word Ahortra are removed and the
word Hor is thus born and has come to exist. The Zodiac and the planets
are therein, as discussed. Some scholars say Horstra is indicative of
effects of one's Karma, i.e. fate. Some call Lagna, or half of a Ri, as
Hor. In practice the science relating to horoscope is called Horstra.
Hor is capable of analyzing the destiny. Barring this Horstra there is no
device to help one earn money, to help, as a boat, to cross the ocean of
unexpected situations and to serve, as an advisor in journey.
Thus ends the 2nd Ch. Meaning of Hor in Kalyana Varma's Sraval
