Author Introduction
I am Acharya Anil Aggarwala, a Jyotish Acharya and Prashna astrologer with decades of research in classical Vedic astrology. Trained under the guidance of Shri K. N. Rao at Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, my work focuses on rare and advanced techniques such as Mook Prashna, Mushti Prashna, Mundane Astrology, and predictive research. I specialize in decoding real-time events and unspoken queries with high precision, blending classical wisdom with experiential insight.
Mook & Mushti Prashna: When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
The science of Prashna Shastra is one of the most profound and least understood branches of Jyotish. While most astrologers today restrict themselves to birth charts, our ancient sages went far beyond — they developed techniques through which the unspoken thoughts, anxieties, and intentions of a querist could be decoded without a single word being uttered.
Among these extraordinary methods are Mook Prashna (silent query) and Mushti Prashna (query through clenched fist or symbols). These techniques demonstrate the true intuitive and mathematical brilliance of Jyotish, where the astrologer reads the mind of the querist, not merely planetary placements.
An expert Prashna astrologer, applying the classical rules precisely, can often extract far more accurate and time-bound answers through Mook Prashna than even a natal chart, especially when the matter is urgent, psychological, or unfolding in real time.
The following real-life example from 23 January 2026 stands as a living testimony to the astonishing accuracy of Mook Prashna when applied correctly.
Case Study: Mook Prashna on 23 January 2026
Date & Time of Prashna

-
Place: New Delhi

On this evening, my daughter asked me a simple question:
“Can you tell me what my anxiety is?”
She did not state her concern. This made it a pure Mook Prashna, where the astrologer must discover the query itself before answering it.
Step-by-Step Classical Analysis
1️⃣ Lagna in 2nd Dreshkana
As per classical texts, when the Lagna falls in the 2nd Dreshkana, the query relates to:
-
Mula (roots)
-
Vegetation
-
All things that grow
This immediately pointed toward growth, expansion, or yield, rather than loss or obstruction.
2️⃣ Lagna: Odd Sign Leo, 4th Navamsha
-
Odd Lagna (Leo) combined with
-
4th Navamsha
This combination signifies Dhatu Chinta — concern related to substance, material output, nourishment, and tangible creation. Art work related to Dhatu
This reinforced the theme of productive growth, not emotional anxiety.
3️⃣ Role of Venus (Growth Factor)
-
Planets placed in their own Navamsha generally indicate sustainability and growth
-
Venus, the karaka of art, creativity, beauty, and commercial value, does not aspect the Lagna, suggesting:
-
Growth is present
-
But results are delayed, not denied
-
4️⃣ Moon-Based Principle (Core of Mook Prashna)
A crucial rule in Mook Prashna is:
Between the Lagna Lord and the 11th Lord, whichever is stronger should be taken as the reference point.
-
Lagna Lord: Sun
-
11th Lord: Mercury
-
Sun is stronger than Mercury
Now:
-
Count from Sun (Lagna Lord) to Moon
-
The count gives 3 houses
The 3rd from Lagna is Libra
-
Libra is a Venus sign
-
From Lagna Lord Sun, Libra falls in the 10th house
- Hence Query related to Profession and Connected to Venus significations and Growth regarding the same .
Decoded Anxiety (The Silent Question Revealed)
From the above, the anxiety clearly relates to:
-
Profession (10th house)
-
Venusian themes — art, creativity, aesthetics
-
Growth and returns from professional creative output
Further confirmation:
-
10th house from Lagna is Taurus, again ruled by Venus
-
In Navamsha, the 10th lord Venus is:
-
In own sign Taurus
-
Conjoined Jupiter in the 11th house
-
This is a classic yoga for gains, recognition, and financial returns, especially through creative or artistic pursuits.
