How this weekly rashifal is made
Read from your Moon sign (rashi), as the books count gochar. The week is the average of its seven daily readings, Monday to Sunday, so it agrees with the day pages. Each graha is judged by its house from the rashi with vedha, with the result Gochar Vichar, Phaladeepika (ch. 26) or Hindu Predictive Astrology gives for that house. Positions at sunrise, New Delhi. Your own kundli, with your dasha, says more.
