Ashtamangala Prashna Number
<p>Divination with the help of Ashtamangala number is a very ancient method in Vedic Astrology. It is mentioned in scriptures such as <em>Prasna Marga</em> or <em>Kala Prakashika</em>. It is one of the <em>prashna</em> methods of reading, in which with the additional help of the sacred cowrie shells, you can get a better insight into the present moment. The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity. Anyone who understands the basics of Vedic astrology (the zodiac signs, planets, nakshatras, tithis, muhurta yogas and other parts of panchang) can make a very accurate predictions with the Ashtamangala number method – with or without the person’s natal chart or a prashna chart.</p>
