Primary Sources
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
The foundational text for planetary meanings, strength systems, dashas, and chart interpretation.
Parashara’s framework forms the backbone of Prashna Online’s calculation and strength logic.
See: Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra.
⸻
Jaimini Sūtras
A complementary system emphasizing signs, Arudhas, and alternative interpretive logic.
Jaimini principles are applied where appropriate and are kept distinct from Parashara-based logic.
See: Jaimini Sutras.

Approach to Sources
- Classical rules are preferred over modern opinion.
- Conflicting rules are preserved, not hidden.
- Calculations are deterministic; interpretation remains reflective.
- No modern or speculative reinterpretations are imposed.
Prashna Online treats Jyotish as a structured analytical system, not a belief framework.
