The world is already saturated with the one-line horoscope and surface predictions, and real astrology requires depth, structure, and accuracy. It is an experienced astrologer rather than a star-gazer who is an analytical person with many tiers of a birth chart to be explored before squealing out any conclusion. What then does it take to make a really accurate prediction?
So, we are going to go step-by-step through the process that every serious study of astrology should use and why it should not begin with the transits.
1. Birth Chart: This is the Base of All Predictions
The first step in the journey is studying the individual house along with the corresponding planet in the natal astrological chart (Janma Kundli). The information on the native core blueprint about the career and relationships, health and spiritual leanings is conveyed through this. But the birth chart does not give it all.
2. Navamsha: The Strength Beneath the Surface
Then one should analyze each house and the lord in the Navamsha chart, which is a divisional chart that shows inner power and unexplored power of planets. Planets found strong in the birth chart, but weak in Navamsha do not perform as well, and vice versa may show unexpected outcomes.
After interpreting the two charts, astrologers can interpret these two charts together to produce more significant predictions.
3. Divisional Charts: The Toolkit of the Specialist
Other divisional charts (such as Dashamsha to chart a career, Saptamsha to talk about children, etc.) are considered. Initially, the divisional charts are read on their own, then in respect to the birth chart.
This is a layered method that enables precise understandings of areas specific to those measured to a much further degree than a single chart.
4. Vimshottari Dasha: Time is of Everything
The astrologer resorts to the Vimshottari Dasha, which is the timeline of the planets that indicate the timing of certain karma events likely to happen. However, the problem is that the Mahadasha and Antardasha are not sufficient to be looked at.
• All the Dasha phases have to be learned.
• Based on the birth chart Ascendant and Dasha lord.
• Again the mutuality between the two in the Navamsha.
• Again in the eminent divisional chart.
It is important to remember planetary significations, house functions, and 2-12 / 6-8 relationships.
5. Consider the Transits
Planetary transits are among the first things most beginners go to check, but astrologers who know what they are doing will stay clear of these. Transits must be taken into consideration after the above layers have been considered, because it is just setting in motion what has already been prophesized in the chart and Dasha.
Final Word
Astrology is not a guess game; astrology is a science having different dimensions. Predictions which are based on a thorough study of charts and Dasha timings not only sound good, they actually do happen.
