What is Ramal?

Ramal (Arabic: Ilm‑e‑Ramāl; in India: Ramal Jyotish) is a classical divination that answers specific questions using 16 geometric figures called Shakals. Each Shakal is a 4‑line pattern of dot/no‑dot (• / –) that carries distinct qualities like auspicious/inauspicious, element, direction, and planet. Four initial figures (called Mothers) generate the entire 16‑house Ramal chart which is then interpreted for a clear Yes/No or descriptive guidance.

Origins & Tradition

Ramal travelled from the Arab world to Persia and India. In Sanskrit it’s referenced as Ramal Shastra. The system is rule‑driven: you build figures through parity (odd/even) and combine them with XOR‑like logic to derive Daughters, Nephews, Witnesses, Judge and the final Saabit.

Your Ramal Kit

  • 4 Mothers input — four columns of 4 marks each (• or –). You can also enter any number: odd→•, even→–.
  • Parity rule — Treat • as true/odd and – as false/even.
  • Combine — Figures combine by row using XOR (different → •, same → –).
  • Question House — Choose the house relevant to the question (e.g., 7 for marriage, 10 for career).

How to Cast a Ramal Kundali (16 Houses)

  1. Enter 4 Mothers (columns 4‑3‑2‑1). Each cell is dot or dash; numbers auto‑convert by parity.
  2. Daughters (5‑8): take row‑wise from Mothers (top row → House‑5, second → 6, third → 7, fourth → 8).
  3. Nephews (9‑12): 9 = 1⊕2, 10 = 3⊕4, 11 = 5⊕6, 12 = 7⊕8 (⊕ = row‑wise XOR).
  4. Witnesses & Judge: 13 = 9⊕10, 14 = 11⊕12, 15 (Judge) = 13⊕14.
  5. Saabit (16): 16 = 15 ⊕ 1 (Judge with House‑1).
  6. Answer band: Compare the Question House with 14 & 15 to derive the final figure (Q⊕14 then ⊕15).

Meaning of 16 Houses

# Topic # Topic
1 Self, body, intent of the question 2 Wealth, family, food
3 Efforts, siblings, messages 4 Home, land, mother, vehicles
5 Children, creativity, study 6 Enemies, loans, disease
7 Marriage, partners, contracts 8 Hidden, death/rebirth, obstacles
9 Fortune, guru, long journeys 10 Career, authority, karma
11 Income, gains, friends 12 Loss, isolation, foreign stay
13 Left witness (evidence) 14 Right witness (evidence)
15 Judge (final tendency) 16 Saabit (Judge with House‑1)

Witnesses, Judge & Saabit

The four bottom figures decide outcomes:

  • 13: 9 ⊕ 10 — left witness (past causes)
  • 14: 11 ⊕ 12 — right witness (present factors)
  • 15 (Judge): 13 ⊕ 14 — overall verdict tendency
  • 16 (Saabit): 15 ⊕ 1 — Judge mixed with the querent

Final Answer: Take the figure from your selected Question House, combine with 14 (Q⊕14), then with 15 → this “Final” figure’s quality and nature describes Yes/No and how.

How to Read an Answer (Quick Method)

  1. Select the Question House.
  2. Compute R1 = Q ⊕ 14, then Final = R1 ⊕ 15.
  3. Interpret the Final Shakal: शुभ/अति शुभ → Yes / favorable, अशुभ/अति अशुभ → No / delay, मध्यम → Mixed; see 13 & 14 to clarify.
  4. Take into account house meanings for “how/when” cues.

Quick FAQ

Q: Can I enter numbers instead of dots?
A: Yes — odd becomes •, even becomes –.

Q: What is Saabit (16)?
A: Final stability — Judge mixed with House‑1; refines the final reading.

Key Takeaway

Ramal Kundali gives precise procedural answers. Build the 16‑house chart, use Witnesses & Judge, and combine the Question House to find a decisive Shakal result.

Deriving All 16 Houses

  1. Mothers (1‑4): Enter four figures (columns 4‑3‑2‑1).
  2. Daughters (5‑8): Take rows from Mothers:
    5 = top row, 6 = second row, 7 = third row, 8 = fourth row (each row becomes a figure).
  3. Nephews (9‑12): 9 = 1⊕2, 10 = 3⊕4, 11 = 5⊕6, 12 = 7⊕8 (⊕ = row‑wise XOR).
  4. Witnesses & Judge: 13 = 9⊕10, 14 = 11⊕12, 15 = 13⊕14.
  5. Saabit (16): 16 = 15 ⊕ 1 (Judge mixed with House‑1).

Final Answer Logic (Q ⊕ 14 ⊕ 15)

  1. Select the Question House (Q) based on your topic (e.g., 7=marriage, 10=job, 4=property).
  2. Compute R1 = Q ⊕ 14.
  3. Compute Final = R1 ⊕ 15.
  4. Interpret the Final Shakal (nature + house context) for the verdict and “how”.

Worked Example

Question: “Will I get the new job offer?” (House‑10)

  1. After building the chart: House‑10 = ≡·, House‑14 = ∷̱, House‑15 = ≡̄.
  2. R1 = (10) ⊕ 14 → convert both to 4‑row dots, XOR row‑wise → say result = लहान (≡).
  3. Final = R1 ⊕ 15 → suppose final = नुस्रतुल खारिज (≡·) with शुभ nature.
  4. Reading: Positive outcome; timing smooth (वायु/अग्नि). Check Witnesses (13/14) for “from which contact/effort”.

Pro Tips & Common Errors

  • While typing numbers, remember: odd → •, even → –.
  • Always combine figures row‑wise. Do not mix columns.
  • Use House‑16 to see how stable the Judge becomes with the querent.
  • When Final is मध्यम, read House‑14/15 stories for the cause and remedy.

How fast results manifest, how tattva (element) affects the answer, and how to decode a deeper story from final shakals.

Ask Your Question Back to Ramal Home

Why Tattva Matters

Each shakāl in Ramal belongs to one of the 4 elements (Tattva): Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air), Prithvi (Earth), Jal (Water).

The element tells you about:

  • 🔁 How fast or slow the result will happen
  • 🔍 How emotional, logical, stubborn, or volatile the situation is
  • ⏳ What kind of delay or action is needed

Tattva & Speed of Events

Use this rule for timing:

  • Agni (Fire): Very fast, sudden change, instant result
  • Vayu (Air): Fast, dynamic, but needs effort or talk
  • Prithvi (Earth): Slow, stubborn, practical effort needed
  • Jal (Water): Emotional, delayed, unclear without focus

Tattva Cheat Sheet

Shakal Name Tattva Speed
≡ लहान Agni 🔥 Very Fast
∷ कज्जुल दाखिल Prithvi 🪨 Slow
∵ कज्जुल खारिज Agni 🔥 Fast
≣ जमात Prithvi 🪨 Slow
÷ फरहा Vayu 💨 Medium Fast
∴ उक्ब्ता Prithvi 🪨 Slow
≡̣ अज़्दीहा Prithvi 🪨 Very Slow
≡̄ हुमा Vayu 💨 Fast
≡̍ बयाज़ Jal 💧 Delayed
≡· नुस्रतुल खारिज Agni 🔥 Quick
∷̱ नुस्रतुल दाखिल Jal 💧 Delayed
: अतबे खारिज Agni 🔥 Sudden
⨀ नकी Jal 💧 Slow
⦂ अतबे दाखिल Vayu 💨 Smooth
∷̇ इज्तिमा Vayu 💨 Fast with effort
⋮ तारीखा Jal 💧 Emotional/Unstable

Judge vs Final Shakal

Always compare the Judge (15) and the Final (Q ⊕ 14 ⊕ 15). Here’s what it tells you:

  • If both are शुभ → strong Yes
  • If Judge is शुभ but Final is अशुभ → struggle or delay
  • If both are अशुभ → No or block
  • If Final is मध्यम → look at 13 & 14 for deeper reasons

How to Clarify Weak or Mixed Results

  1. Check House‑13 and 14: they are “evidence” or past/present causes.
  2. Check Tattva of Final Shakal — Agni/Vayu is quicker, Jal/Prithvi is slower.
  3. Use House‑16 (Judge ⊕ Self) to see if final answer stabilizes or breaks.
  4. Look for repetition: if same shakals repeat in Judge, 14, or Final → that is the core message.

Live Example

Q: “Will I get admission in this university?” (House‑10)

  • House‑10 = ≡ (लहान) — Agni, Fast
  • House‑14 = ≣ (जमात) — Prithvi, slow
  • House‑15 (Judge) = ∷ (कज्जुल दाखिल) — Prithvi, slow
  • Final = ⦂ (अतबे दाखिल) — Vayu, moderate speed

Answer: Yes, but delay likely. Paperwork or approval may take time. Tattva conflict between Fire (your intent) and Earth (Judge) shows “wait and follow process.”

Key Takeaway

In Ramal, the Shakal’s Tattva tells you more than just “Yes or No.” It reveals speed, emotion, logic, delay, and resistance. The Final result must be read with Judge, House‑14, and the Tattva to give a full prediction.

Ask Your Question Back to Ramal Home

Why House 7 is the Key

In Ramal, House 7 is the main house of marriage, life partner, relationship promises, and even business partnerships. For love life, see also:

  • ❤️ House 5 – romance, dating, attraction
  • 💬 House 3 – communication, proposals, messages
  • 💔 House 8 – breakups, secrets, hidden affairs
  • 🏠 House 4 – domestic life after marriage

Pro Tip: The Final answer must be based on House 7 result when the question is about marriage.

Types of Marriage Questions

  • 🔹 Will I get married this year?
  • 🔹 Is this the right life partner?
  • 🔹 Will my love marriage succeed?
  • 🔹 Is this arranged marriage good for me?
  • 🔹 Is my partner loyal or cheating?
  • 🔹 Should I say yes to this proposal?

House to watch = 7
Final = 7 ⊕ 14 ⊕ 15 tells the truth, logic, delay or approval.

Shubh & Ashubh Shakals for Marriage

Nature Shakals to Watch Meaning
शुभ ≡ (लहान), ∷ (कज्जुल दाखिल), ÷ (फरहा), ≡· (नुस्रतुल खारिज) Approval, proposal, marriage progress
मध्यम ≣, ⦂, ∷̇ Delay or adjustment needed; neutral outcome
अशुभ ∵, ∴, ≡̣, :, ⨀ Rejection, cheating, delay, break-up signals

Timing Marriage or Love Events

Use Shakal Tattva + House to judge speed:

  • 🔥 Agni = fast, within 7–21 days
  • 💨 Vayu = within 1–3 months
  • 🪨 Prithvi = 6+ months or slow approach
  • 💧 Jal = delay, emotion-driven, no timing clarity

Best Houses for timing: 7 (partner), 5 (love), 3 (contact), 13 & 14 (evidence), 16 (stability)

Real Examples

Q: Will I marry this person soon?

  • House 7: ≡· (शुभ, Agni)
  • 14: ⦂ (मध्यम, Vayu), 15: ∷ (शुभ, Earth)
  • Final: = ⊕ result = ∷ (शुभ)

Answer: Positive result, will happen within months. Some delay due to social/family effort (Earth+Air tattva), but emotional intent is strong.

Extra Hints from House 13, 14, 16

  • House 13: Shows past karma, old issues, unresolved feelings
  • House 14: Present effort – is the person trying or resisting?
  • House 16: Is your Judge aligned with your Self (House‑1)? If yes → long-term stability

Summary: Relationship Prediction Logic

  1. Check House‑7 (marriage intent)
  2. Compute Final = 7 ⊕ 14 ⊕ 15
  3. Check if Final Shakal is शुभ or अशुभ
  4. Use Tattva of Final for timing window
  5. Clarify through House‑13, 14, 16 if needed

Method: Final Answer Logic

  1. Pick the correct Question House (Q) (4/10/9/12/2).
  2. Compute R1 = Q ⊕ 14 (row‑wise XOR of dot patterns).
  3. Compute Final = R1 ⊕ 15.
  4. Interpret Final nature: शुभ / अशुभ / मध्यम.
  5. Use Tattva of Final for speed; use 13 & 14 to see “why/how”.
  6. Check 16 (Saabit) for stability with the querent (House‑1).

Worked Examples

Example A — Property Registry This Month?

  • Q = House‑4, 14 = neutral, 15 = favourable
  • Final(4) = ∷ (कज्जुल दाखिल) → Yes
  • Reading: Deal closes with proper papers. If 6/8 are active, expect a bank/legal formality; otherwise smooth.

Example B — New Job Offer?

  • Q = House‑10, 14 = ⦂, 15 = ≡·
  • Final(10) = ≡· → Yes, Agni → quick
  • Reading: Expect offer in weeks; HR paperwork (3) may add a short delay.

Example C — Visa Approval?

  • Q1 = House‑9 (intent), Q2 = House‑12 (visa)
  • Final(9) = ⦂ (Vayu, mixed‑positive), Final(12) = ∷ (Prithvi‑positive)
  • Reading: Approval likely with one extra document; travel within 1–3 months.

Quick Checklist

  • Always combine figures row‑wise.
  • Read Final for verdict; use 13/14/16 to explain cause & stability.
  • Agni/Vayu = fast; Prithvi/Jal = slow or emotional delay.
  • For money‑related queries, glance at 2 & 11 for funds/gains.
  • If Final is मध्यम, advise remedy/process: documents, another attempt, or time window.
