How Daily Horoscope (Rashi palan) Predictions are calculated?

Everyone is interested in his future. What will happen to me? What about my career / profession? How will be my health? What will be my financial position? To know the future everyone refers to their astrological moon sign. In Indian vedic Astrology system we use moon sign /rashi as reference point. Moon completes one zodiacal cycle of 360 degrees in about 28 days. Birth nakshatra / star is also based on the position of moon.

There are 27 nakshatra constellations along the zodiacal belt. To predict the future we need to count from the janma / birth nakshatra to planets current nakshatra constellation and results are calculated accordingly. Further we needed to consider Graha (planet’s) subh (benefic) ashubh (malefic) characteristics and janma – anujanma – thrijanma positions.

Further we need to consider ashtakavarga table of the planet in question.
