Varshphal or Yearly Chart
Varshphal or Yearly Chart
There are three branches to predictive astrology:
1. Natal Horoscopy
This is concerned with
calculating and interpreting horoscopes of individuals on
the basis of the time, place, day and year of their birth.
All aspects of a person's life can be addressed from the
natal chart which shows the positions of the planets at the moment of birth and the planetary periods which reveal how
the person's life will unfold over time. The Lunar chart,
which is the same as the natal chart but looks at
everything in relation to the Moon, and the Navamsa or
"marriage" chart--a spearate chart based on the position of the Moon at birth which reveals a person's partnering or
marriage karma, as well as subtle points in their whole
life. I look to all three when I do a "life reading" for
someone--a one and a half to two hour session which covers
who they are, why they are here, where they've been and
where they are headed. This session focuses specifically
on the coming year.
2. Mundane Astrology
This is the astrology
of places--countries or cities. A horoscope is cast for
the "birth time" of the place--the time, day, year and
location of the signing of the charter, treaty or in our
case, Declaration of Independence. You can tell all about
a place--whether its inhabitants will prosper or struggle,
when there will be peace or war, when they are likely to
have natural disasters, the political climate, etc.
3. Prasna or Horary Astrology
This deals with answering specific questions. A chart is
made for the place, day and time of the question. When an
individual poses a question to the astrologer, they are
"giving birth" to the question. Looking at the chart as
well as the querant's natal chart reveals the answer. I
recommend that everyone who has a natal reading come back
at least once a year for what is called their Solar Return
or Varshphal reading. This is a branch of predictive
astrology which looks very specifically at a one year
period in a person's life starting on or around their
birthday to the following birthday.
The Sun completes one transit on 360 degrees of the zodiac
in one year. A chart is drawn for the time when the Sun in transit reaches exactly the same sign, degree, minute and
the second as it was at the person's birth. All the
positions of the other planets at that moment are
calculated as well. So, if we want to know the events for
someone's 30th year, we cast a horoscope for the time when
the Sun reaches exactly the above longitude at the end of
the 29th year or beginning of the 30th.
This chart, when looked to in conjunction with the natal
chart and its planetary periods and transits for the same
year, is incredibly predictive and accurate. I can tell
quite specifically what that person can expect in the next
year.
It is possible to do a monthly chart or Lunar Return as
well. This chart is drawn for the moment the Moon is in
the same sign, degree, minute and second as it is in the
individual's natal chart. You can tell quite specifically
what a person will experience that month.
