What is the need for this Ankush.Coach skill?
Being an avid Astrology learner and practitioner since 1998, I have realized that Astrology is not some mystic subject to be learnt or to be practiced by only a few individuals. I believe everyone should learn Astrology for Internal happiness and Healthy Lifestyle. Astrology has to be a way of life for every one of us. Its prime purpose is not to predict future incidents; instead, it has to be ideally used to understand yourself and others better and improve Your Quality of Life. Understand the situations you might face and how to manage them better. It helps you know who you are and whats your life purpose.
Once you get to know astrology, the purpose of life and reason of our existence becomes clearer. How we interpret the situation and how we react to the same also changes. You get to know that circumstances in life might not be in your control, but how you manage and respond to the situation is always in your hand. Once you understand Astrology for your well-being, Your Adversity Quotient (AQ) may increase multiple times, making you mentally more robust and your mind would always be in your control. It's like having a perpetual guide with you, and this guide is called "Self-awareness through Astrology". It's not that philosophical as it would have sounded till now. Its more fun, interesting, exciting, enigmatic, and little miraculous.
You may start to know yourself better TODAY!

Read Your Horoscope Chart On Your Own Like a Professional Astrologer using Ankush.Coach skill on Alexa or Google
Your Vedic horoscope chart is a karmic reflection of your past, present and future. It holds the information about who you are on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level. Your horoscope also unleashes the life transformation process you may undergo.
Step 1
Download Vedic Astrology App and Create your horoscope
Download any of the free or paid Vedic Astrology App on your mobile phone, which can create your horoscope using your Date, Time and Place (DTP) of birth. You may also create your horoscope on any of the Vedic astrology websites.
Do not download apps which only tries to send you a daily prediction based on your Date of birth.I have taken an example to showcase, step by step procedure to create your horoscope. Please note this interface may vary in different Astrology Apps. In the example below, I have created a horoscope on a free android app called "Jyotish App" <(Click Left to Download)
For iOS, you may also refer to AstroSage Kundli App <(Click Left to Download)
I have created the chart assuming the following birth details :
Date : Jan 1, 2000
Time: 10:10 am
Place: New Delhi, India
Once you enter Date, time and place of birth in your App, you would be able to create your horoscope. Below example shows North India style birth chart.
Step 2
Find your Rising Sign or Ascendant (Lagna in Sanskrit) Sign
There are 12 boxes in the chart, called houses. Find out the box where “ As” is written. That is always called Ascendant or 1st House in the North Indian Style Chart shown above. Please note, in certain Apps, “La” (Lagna) may Replace “As”(Ascendant) or 1st house might not have both “As” or “La” mentioned. In any case, do see the position of Ascendant in above image and remember to refer that box which can be called Lagna(LA) or Ascendant(As) and 1st house. In the same box you will see the small number at the bottom. This number indicates a zodiac sign or rising sign of the Ascendant/1st house. In the above Chart it is 11, which represents Aquarius sign.
If this was your chart, you might ask two question from Ankush.Coach skill-
1) What is the significance of Ascendant or What is Ascendant?
2) Tell me about Aquarius Ascendant or What is the significance of Aquarius Ascendant?
You may choose your rising sign based on the number mentioned in Ascendant. What is your rising sign?
1 is Aries; 2, Taurus; 3, Gemini; 4, Cancer; 5, Leo; 6, Virgo; 7, Libra; 8, Scorpio; 9, Sagittarius; 10, Capricorn; 11, Aquarius; 12, Pisces.
Step 3
Find out your birth Moon sign and its Nakshatra( Constellation)
Now count counter-clockwise around the chart, from the 1st till the 12th house. Which house and Sign is your Moon in? “Mo” is the abbreviation for the Moon.In the above example, If Aquarius is 1st house, counting counter-clockwise, 2nd house would be where number 12(Pisces sign) is mentioned, and 3rd house would be where number 1 (Aries sign) is mentioned and so on. Counting further, Moon is in 9th house where number 7 (Libra sign) is mentioned. Please note, Moon sign is also called Rashi. So when you hear Rashi in future, it is your moon sign.
When you scroll down below D1 chart, you will see a table with the list of planets, their degrees, Rashi sign they are in, their Nakshatra, Paada and Nakshatra Lord. For now, just look into the name of the Nakshatra mentioned against Moon. In this example, you will see, Moon is in the sign of Libra in Swati Nakshatra.
If this was your chart, you might ask two question from Ankush.Coach skill-
1) What is the significance of Moon in Libra or Tell me about Moon in Libra
2)What are the characteristics of Swati Nakshatra or Tell me about Swati Nakshatra?
Step 4
Identify All Nine Planets and their house placement in your chart.
Use the standard abbreviations below to identify the nine planets. Which houses are they in?
Common Abbreviations:
As = Ascendant, your 1st house. Mo = Moon. Su = Sun. Sa = Saturn. Me = Mercury. Ma = Mars. Ve = Venus. Ju = Jupiter. Ra = Rahu. Ke = Ketu.
In the above example, We have Mars in 1st house, Jupiter in 3rd house, Saturn in 3rd house, Rahu in 6th house, Moon in 9th house, Venus in 10th house, Sun in 11th house, Mercury in 11th house and Ketu in 12th house.
If this was your chart, you might ask these questions from Ankush.Coach skill-
Tell me about Mars in 1st house,
Tell me about Jupiter in 3rd house,
Tell me about Saturn in 3rd house,
Tell me about Rahu in 6th house,
Tell me about Moon in 9th house,
Tell me about Venus in 10th house,
Tell me about Sun in 11th house,
Tell me about Mercury in 11th house and
Tell me about Ketu in 12th house
You may use the same methodology to find out how every planet would impact your life based on their placement in your horoscope.
Step 5
Which Are Your Planetary Signs?
Once you identify the planets and which houses they sit in, the next step is to determine, sign placement of each of the nine planets. In the above example, Mars is in Aquarius, Jupiter is in Aries, Saturn is in Aries, Rahu is in Cancer, Moon is in Libra, Venus is in Scorpio, Sun is in Sagittarius, Mercury is in Sagittarius and Ketu is in Capricorn sign.
If this was your chart, you might ask these questions from Ankush.Coach skill-
Tell me about Mars in Aquarius,
Tell me about Jupiter in Aries,
Tell me about Saturn in Aries,
Tell me about Rahu in Cancer,
Tell me about Moon in Libra,
Tell me about Venus in Scorpio.
Tell me about Sun in Sagittarius,
Tell me about Mercury in Sagittarius
Tell me about Ketu in Capricorn.
Where is your Saturn, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu sitting in your chart? Find out and Ask Ankush.Coach to know more about you.
Step 6
Which Planetary period or Mahadasha are you undergoing now?
Your Astrology App would show you planetary period you are undergoing now. In this app, you need to see on the top left corner. Besides “Chart” tab, there is a “Dasha” Tab. Click there, and you would find something like what you see below:
I have chosen Dasha Type: Vimshottari Dasha.
Below that, is the list of planets and time period i.e Start and End date of planetary time period which is also called Mahadasha. As of August 2020, this person is undergoing Jupiter Mahadasha which started on 06-Sep-2005 and would end on 06-Sep-2021. If you click on Jupiter, you would see Sub Planetary period or Antar Dasha. Let’s stick to Mahadasha as of now for the sake of simplicity.
If this was your chart, you might ask these questions from Ankush.Coach skill-
What is Mahadasha, or what is the significance of Mahadasha?
Tell me about Jupiter Mahadasha or What is the significance of Jupiter Mahadasha?
What is the duration of Jupiter Mahadasha or What is the duration of Jupiter Time period?
Step 7
