How this yearly rashifal is made
Read from your Moon sign (rashi), as the books count gochar. The year rests on the slow grahas — Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu — each judged by its house from the rashi with vedha, and the result Gochar Vichar, Phaladeepika (ch. 26) or Hindu Predictive Astrology gives for that house. Each month adds the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus at mid-month. Positions at noon, New Delhi. Your own kundli, with your dasha, says more.
