Navigator questions

Big trip date: the JyotiSoft chart answer

This is the Navigator question “Big trip date”. You name neither a destination nor a period: the @JyotiSoftBot bot takes the sixty days ahead, scores them by the classical rules of a journey, lays your chart over them and hands back three departure days, best first, and the days to leave out. Below is what the answer contains and what it never does.

Ask this question in the bot

The answer is built from your own chart and arrives in @JyotiSoftBot. It is a paid topic: the price in stars is shown in the bot. Your chart itself and the calculators on this site are free.

What the answer contains

  1. Three dates. Three departure days by the classical journey (yatra) rules (nakshatra, tithi, weekday, yoga, Vishti karana), each explained in plain words. Your chart on top: the 9th house for a long road or the 3rd for a short trip supported, Jupiter or Venus well placed, a strong Moon. The three come ranked.
  2. What to avoid. Days under an eclipse, with Mars retrograde, with an afflicted Moon or with a hard planet pressing on the 8th or 12th house.

What it is calculated from

The same calculation as your chart in the bot and the Mini App: sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsha, whole-sign houses. It uses the calculation's scoring of the sixty days from today (the panchang of each day, see panchang) and your chart: the 9th house and 3rd houses, Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and Mars, and the 8th and 12th houses for pressure. A day the calculation did not score is never proposed.

What the answer never does

A good day improves the conditions of the road; it does not decide how the trip will go, and nothing in the answer speaks to the safety of a destination: for travel conditions use official sources. If the date comes from a ticket or someone else's schedule, the answer reads that day and says how to work with it. For the general rules see travel.

If you do not know the birth time

Say so: the answer then states in one sentence that what rests on the houses and the rising sign softens, while the signs of the planets and the dates of the periods hold. You can see first how much depends on the time in the free chart calculator (tick “Time unknown”), and read a chart without a birth time.

For a move rather than a trip: Best time to move. For where a move would suit you: Is this place right for me?.

Questions

Do I have to say where I am going?
No. The answer scores the sixty days from today whatever the destination.
Which houses matter for a trip?
The 9th for a long road and the 3rd for a short one, with Jupiter or Venus well placed and a strong Moon; a hard planet on the 8th or 12th is a reason to keep the day clear.
What if my ticket is already booked?
Then the answer reads that day by the same factors and says how to work with it, instead of pretending you can still choose.
Will it say the trip will be safe?
No. It looks at the day, not at the place; for the safety of a destination, rely on official sources.
Is the answer free?
Your chart and the calculators on this site are free. The answer to this question is a paid topic in the bot; its price in stars is shown there.
