How to Read and Understand Your Horoscope (Aries to Pisces)
Introduction
Your horoscope is not just a chart — it’s the cosmic blueprint of your life, drawn at the moment you took your first breath.
Every planet, sign, and house in that chart represents a vibration shaping your thoughts, destiny, relationships, and spiritual journey.
At Grahastithi, Acharya Sanketh Sharma — a 16th-generation Vedic astrologer — reveals how to interpret this divine design, helping seekers understand their karma, purpose, and timing through authentic Vedic horoscope reading.
🌞 What Is a Horoscope?
In Sanskrit, the horoscope is called a Janma Kundli or Natal Chart — a circular map showing planetary positions at your exact date, time, and place of birth.
It contains three essential layers:
- Planets (Grahas): Cosmic forces influencing your personality and events.
- Signs (Rashis): Zodiac fields through which those planets express themselves.
- Houses (Bhavas): Life areas where planetary energy manifests.
Together, these reveal who you are, what drives you, and when key life events unfold.

🔮 How to Read Your Horoscope Step-by-Step
Step 1️⃣: Identify Your Ascendant (Lagna)
The Ascendant is the rising sign on the eastern horizon at your birth time.
It determines your physical personality and life direction.
Example:
If your Ascendant is Leo, you’re naturally confident, expressive, and leadership-driven.
Step 2️⃣: Read Planetary Positions
Check which planets occupy which houses.
- Sun in 10th → leadership career
- Venus in 7th → love-oriented marriage
- Saturn in 6th → hard work & delayed success
Each combination tells a story of your karmic pattern.
Step 3️⃣: Understand the Strength of Planets
Every planet has:
- Exaltation (strongest) position
- Debilitation (weakest) position
- Own house (balanced) position
These determine how smoothly their energy flows in your life.
Step 4️⃣: Study the Dasha (Planetary Periods)
Vedic astrology uses the Vimshottari Dasha system — a 120-year cycle that reveals when each planet’s karma activates.
Example:
- Jupiter Dasha → spiritual growth, success in teaching.
- Saturn Dasha → slow but transformative period.
Your current Dasha reveals what life phase you are experiencing right now.
Step 5️⃣: Analyze Transits (Gochar)
Even after birth, planets keep moving.
Their current positions (transits) influence your chart dynamically.
Example:
- Saturn’s transit in Aquarius may test discipline.
- Jupiter’s transit in Taurus may bring prosperity or expansion.
🕉️ Role of Remedies in Horoscope Reading
When a planet is afflicted or weak, it can be harmonized through:
- Mantra Japa: Aligning sound vibrations.
- Gemstone: Strengthening planetary light.
- Puja / Homa: Offering to balance cosmic energy.
- Daan: Charity for karmic release.
Grahastithi provides these remedies online after personal consultation, ensuring every solution aligns with your birth chart and Dasha.
