How do you read a house for a question?
-
1
Find the main house
Use the table: the 7th for marriage, the 10th for career.
-
2
Name its lord
The planet that owns the sign on that house, from your Lagna.
-
3
See where the lord sits
In an angle or trine it helps the house; in the 6th, 8th or 12th it weakens it (BPHS ch. 12 sl. 1-2, ch. 13 sl. 1-2).
-
4
Add the significator and the dasha
The planet for the topic, and the period running now, decide when the promise shows.
