Chapter-1 Zodiac, Signs and Planets

Celestial System

The mother earth rotates on its axis once in 24 hrs and revolves around the Sun in 365.2422 days. Various planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter & Saturn also revolve around the Sun. These planets have satellites revolving round them. Earth has one satellite called Moon revolving around it. The complete Solar system also revolves around the centre of our Galaxy "Milky Way" and makes one round in little hrs than 26000 years. The Galaxy has many solar systems with different Suns at their centres. Galaxy is shaped like two saucers placed one over the other and our solar system is revolving around it on one side of it. As earth revolves around the Sun, we see from earth stars around us in the sky. On account of motion of Earth around the Sun, the Sun appears to move round the stars once in a year. The line along which the Sun moves is called the Ecliptic. The broad band or belt in the heaven extending 9° on either side of the Ecliptic is known as Zodiac. The Ecliptic passes through centre of zodiac longitudinally. The zodiac revolves once in a day on its axis from east to west.

The zodiac is divided into twelve equal parts, for purpose of astrology, called signs, which are named after the imaginary figures which the stars form in each division. Since zodiac consists of 360°, each sign will consist of 360°/12=30°. The signs are known as Rashis.

Our sages identified twelve group of stars separated appox.30° each in the 360° celestial sphere. Thus we have 12 Rashis. They divided the celestial sphere in 12 parts because moon moves around the earth 12 times during the time earth revolved round the Sun.

Nakshatra

Looking at the daily movement of Moon, sages also identified 27 constellations around the celestial sphere called Ashwini, Bharni etc. They are separated by 360 /27= 13 20'. Every day Moon crosses over one constellation. Start of Ashwini matches with the start of first sign Aries.

From earth we see a celestial body passing over a sign, this helps us know the location of that body. In astronomy we define planet as a celestial body which revolves round the Sun and a body which revolves round a planet is called a satellite. Sun is termed as a star.

In astrology planet is defined differently. Since man lives on earth and we want to study effect of celestial bodies on human beings, we study the motion of celestial bodies with respect to earth i.e. we take earth in centre and measure position of bodies around it, including. Sun, Moon and other planets. To measure the position we take far placed stars as fixed and use them to know the coordinates/position of the other celestial bodies. In astrology we define a planet as any celestial body revolving round the earth; thus Sun & Moon are considered as planets for the purpose of astrology.

What is Rahu/ Ketu

Earth revolves round the sun in a plane called Ecliptic. Moon revolves round the earth in a different plane which intersects ecliptic in a line. The point from where Moon seems to be going up is called Rahu & the point where Moon seems to be going down is called Ketu. These are only imaginary points but have special importance became their position define the eclipse - Solar or Lunar. If Moon, Earth & Sun are in line with Rahu or Ketu, an eclipse is formed. Since eclipse plays an important role on earth and in astrology too, Rahu/Ketu are important and are given the status of planets.

The planets including Earth move in one direction - anti Clockwise around the sun. When the planets and the earth are on the same side of the sun, the planet seems to be moving in the opposite direction from earth. This motion is called retrogression of planet e.g. while earth moves from A to B & then C, Mars also moves from A to B to C and its degree changes from 200 to 180 to 160 as thus it appears to be moving in opposite direction.

They are the points of intersection of the

A Text Book of Astrology 17

apparent path of the Sun with the path of Moon. It has been established beyond doubt that Rahu and Ketu influence an individual's life, at times more than other planets. Since they are in exact opposition to each other, their effect should be considered simultaneously Rahu and Ketu give the effects of the lords of the signs they are in and also of those planets which are situated with them, not having much individual characteristics of their own. Rahu is known as Dragon's head and Ketu as Dragon's tail. Head is forward looking while the tail represents the past. The Rahu represents the qualities to be developed and work to be done during the present incarnation and Ketu denotes the qualities during past lives and these indicate attitudes that come naturally to the native. They are classified as Karmic planets. According to Hindu astrology both Rahu and Ketu are malefic. Rahu is considered as 'giver' and Ketu the 'taker' and since giving and taking are results of former action, they may be considered as planets of 'gains' and losses'. Ketu is considered as a spiritual force causing salvation to human souls and Rahu is more earthly indicating mundane prosperity. The effects of the Nodes is not always evil, they are also productive and causing Raj yogas. By and large Nodes play a constructive role because after making the native pass through various difficult phases, they also enable him to progress spiritually. However, if the Nodes conjoin Mars or Saturn without any behefic aspect, life is marked by misery, struggle and misunderstanding throughout. Rahu is also considered a diplomat and Ketu a seer. Rahu and Ketu eclipse the Sun and Moon representing the soul and mind respectively. Hence they have a great influence on the soul's liberation or rebirth. Rahu or Ketu within 2 degrees of the ascendant give an unusual type of personality and a very distinctive appearance. Rahu and Ketu signify one born in low caste, dissatisfied, fond of travelling, telling lie, harsh in speech, involved in unnatural sex. They also indicate change of residence, ill health, dual marriage, serpents, mosquitoes, insects, spices, southwest direction etc. Part of the body represented by them are buttocks, intestinal tract. The diseases indicated by them are hiccups, insanity, intestinal problems, ulcer, gastric problems etc. The products represented by them are meat, wine, eggs, radish, coconut, sacrifice of animal's etc. Rahu has the properties of Saturn whereas ketu has the influence of Mars. Rahu is feminine. Its gem is Agate or Lapis lazuli. Rahu is said to resemble Saturn. Rahu governs paternal grandfather and maternal grandmother. Ketu is eunuch. Its gem is turquoise. Ketu is said to be conducive to liberation. Ketu is said to be similar to Mars in giving effects. Ketu rules maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother.

Inter Planetary Relationships Planets have three kinds of relationships:

1. Permanent/ Natural/ Naisargik :- This is a permanent relationship and is not influenced by position of planets in the zodiac. Due to their inherent nature, the planets are friendly with certain planets and inimical to others. The rays of planets will be intensified by the rays of one declared as its friend and counteracted by those of a planet declared as its enemy. The permanent relationship among planets is as under :-

Planets Friends Planet Naturals Planet Enemies Planet Sun Moon, Mars, Jupiter Mercury Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu Moon Sun, Mercury Mars, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu * Venus, Saturn Mars Sun, Moon,Jupiter, Ketu Venus, Saturn Mercury, Rahu Mercury Sun, Venus Mars, Jupiter, Saturn Moon Rahu, Ketu Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars Saturn, Rahu, Ketu Mercury, Venus Venus Mercury, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu Mars, Jupiter Sun, Moon Saturn Mercury, Venus, Rahu Jupiter Sun, Moon, Mars, Ketu Rahu Venus,Saturn Jupiter, Mercury Sun, Moon, Mars, Ketu Ketu Mars, Venus Mercury, Jupiter Saturn, Rahu, Sun, Moon

The above relationship is based on the principle that from Mool -Trikona sign of a planet, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, and 12th position lords are its friends and the rest i.e. 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th position lords are its enemies. The exaltation sign's lord of a planet is always its friend even if it owns 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11tposition from Mool- Trikona sign. 2. Temporary/ Tatkalik :- This relationship is temporary and depends upon position of planets in the Horoscope. This relationship changes with reference to each horoscope. The planets in 2nd, 3rd, 4*, 10th, 11 * and 12th houses from a particular planet become its temporary friends and those in rest of the houses are temporary enemies. 3. Panchdha Maitri :- Both types of relationship are considered while examining a horoscope and Combined relationship is obtained which is as under: - Temporary Friend + Permanent Friend Intimate Friend (Adhi mitra) II Temporary Friend + Permanent Enemy = Neutral Temporary Friend + Permanent Neutral = Friend Temporary Enemy + Permanent Friend = Neutral Temporary Enemy + Permanent Neutral Enemy Temporary Enemy + Permanent Enemy Bitter Enemy (Adhi Shatru)

Chapter-5 Casting of Horoscope

The basic information required for casting horoscope of an event is - (1) Place (II) Time and (III) Date.

1. Place: With place we mean location of place on earth. The location of place is known by coordinates Latitude and Longitude. Latitude of a place is a measure of angular distance from equator. All lines parallel to equator are known as lines of Latitude.

90°N N

Arctic Circle 661/2°N

Tropic of Cancer 231/2°N Equator

Tropic of Capricorn 231/2°S

Antarctic Circle 661/2°S

90°S S Lines of Latitude Lines of Longitude The Latitude of a place may vary from 90° N to 90°S. Lines joining North Pole and South Pole are known as lines of longitude or meridians: -All meridians are of equal length. Meridian which passes through Greenwich (U.K.) where British Royal observatory is situated is taken as a reference point or starting point for numbering of meridians and is known as Prime Meridian or 0° Longitude. The Longitude of a place may vary from 180° E to 180° W. 2. Time : Earth rotates on its own axis from West to East. Therefore places east of Greenwich will be ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) and those to west will be behind it. A solar day or synodic day is the interval between two successive transits of sun across the meridian of place. On the other hand a sidereal day is the interval between two successive transits of the first point of Aries across the meridian. Solar day or Synodic day - 24 hours, Sidereal day- 23 hours 56 minuets 4 seconds Earth completes one rotation on its axis once in 24 hours, i.e. it moves 15° in one hour or 1 ° in 4 minuets. Therefore with every change of 1 ° in meridian there will be a change of 4 minuets in time. Therefore if there is 12 noon at Greenwich, the time at 15°E of Greenwich will be 1 P.M.

40 A Text Book of Astrology

In India, the standard time was introduced on 1.1.1906 and the meridian chosen is one of longitude 82°30'E of GMT. The standard time is adopted in all countries. For Casting of horoscope, local mean time of the place is needed. When Sun is crossing (LMT) the meridian of a place, it is 12 o' clock or midday according to the local time. If longitude of a place and GMT is known, LMT of that place can be known by the following formula LMT GMT Longitude 15

• If place is East of Greenwich - If place is West of Greenwich Ex: - Find out LMT of a place at 78°W longitude when it is 12 noon at Greenwich. Ans .:- LMT = 12-78/15 = 12-5hr. 12 minutes = 6 hours 48 minutes. In Hindu system day starts from sunrise and continues till next sunrise. This is different from English day which is from midnight to next midnight. The Hindu day consist of Ahas - duration of day i.e. sunrise to sunset and Ratri - duration of night i.e. sunset to sunrise. On equator Ahas and Ratri are equal. English Day

Night Day Night

Hindu Day

If we look towards the rising sun - from the time disc of sun comes out of horizon and the time when full disc of sun comes out, there is a difference of about 2 to 3 minutes. For all astrological purposes time of sunrise is taken when half disc of sun comes out of horizon. In Hindu astrology time of event is indicated as Isht kal or Suryodistam or Mandloydistam which is time elapsed after sunrise. This Isht kal in horoscope is generally indicated in terms of Ghati, Pal and Vipal. The relation between Ghati, Pal and Vipal vis - a - vis Hours, Minutes and Seconds is an under :- 1 Hour - 2.5 Ghati 1 Minute - 2.5 Pal 1 Second - 2.5 Vipal. If Isht kal and time of sunrise is known the same can be converted into IST or vice - versa. The calculation will be clear from the following examples :-

A Text Book of Astrology 41

Ex.1: Sunrise is at 0700 hrs (IST). Find Isht kal when IST is 1405 hrs. Ans .:- Time elapsed after sunrise 1405-0700 = 7 hrs 5 Mts. 7 hrs = 7 x 2.5 Ghati = 17.5 Ghati = 17 Ghati 30 pal 5 Mts. = 5 x 2.5 Pal= 12.5 Pal = 12 Pal 30 Vipal .. Isht Kal = 17 Ghati 42 Pal and 30 Vipal Ex. 2: Sunrise is at 0617 hrs (IST). Isht kal given is 33 Ghati 23 Pal and 13 Vipal. Find out time (IST) Ans .:- 33 Ghati = 33/2.5 hrs = 13.2 hrs = 13 hrs 12 Mts. 23 Pal = 23/2.5 Mts. = 9.2 Mts. = 9 Mts. 12 Second 13 Vipal =13/2.5 Seconds =5.2 Seconds .. 33 Ghati 23 Pal 13 Vipal = 13 hrs 21 Mts. 17.2 Seconds .. '. IST = Sunrise + time elapsed 06.17 + 13-21-17.2 = 19 hrs 38 Mts. 17.2 Seconds .Ans.

Date : (Gregorian Calendar) Distance of planets west to east are measured from a certain point in celestial path called vernal equinox or first point of Aries. In Hindu astrology this point is considered as stationary or fixed. However due to precession of earth, this point is not fixed. It has slow retrograde motion of 50'.26" each year. This completes a revolution in 25785 years 10 months and 28.68 days. Western astrologers do not take into account the precession of equinoxes for finding longitudes. Therefore longitude of planets according to the two systems show difference of about 23°. The Longitude of planets according to the two system coincided in about the year 268 AD. This precession of equinoxes is known as Ayanamsa. The system based on fixed and moving zodiacs are known as Nirayana and Sayana respectively. Sayana longitude = Nirayana longitude + Ayanamsa Apart from english calendar, following calendars are in vogue in Indian system. 1. Solar Calendar - Based on fixed Zodiac system - known as Vikrami Calendar Based on Moving zodiac system - known as shaka calendar 2. Lunar Calendar 1. Solar Calendar: Solar Calendar are based on this movement of sun in the zodiac. Whenever sun enters 0°of zodiac, solar year starts exactly on the same day and time. Sun moves in the zodiac approximately 1 degree each day and therefore sun changes sign and zodiac after 30 or 31 days. As there are 12 signs in zodiac, there are 12 months in a year. Entry of sun in new sign every months is celebrated as Sankranti and therefore there

42 A Text Book of Astrology

are 12 Sankrantis in a year. Month has 30 days when sun moves faster and 31 days when sun moves slower. Vikrami year 2057 started on 13th April 2000 and Shaka year 1922 started on 22nd March 2000. The names of different months are Baishakh, Jyeshta, Ashada, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Aswin, Kartik, Maghar, Poush, Magh, Phalgun and Chaitra. The first month of Vikrami year is Baishakh whereas Shaka year starts with the month Chaitra. 2. Lunar Calendar:

Lunar Calendar is based on relative movement of Sun and Moon in the zodiac. Sun and Moon move in the zodiac at 1 °and 130 (Approx.) per day. Moon reaches the same point of zodiac again after 27.32 earth days. By the time Sun moves ahead by approx. 28° in the zodiac and to be with Sun, Moon has to further travel for a little more than 2 earth days. Therefore Lunar month is of 29.5306 earth days and consists of full bright moon to another full bright moon day. Lunar month consists of two parts - (1) 1st half from full bright moon day to full dark moon day (known as Krishna Paksha) and (2) 2nd half from full dark moon day to full bright moon day (known as Shukla Paksha ). The day of full bright moon is known as Poornamasi (i.e. distance between Sun and Moon is 180°) and the day of full dark moon is known as Amavasya (i.e. distance between sun and moon is 0°). Lunar date or moon date is known as Tithi. First and second half of lunar month has 15 Tithi each and therefore lunar month has 30 Tithi. Lunar month starts when Moon is exactly 180° away from Sun and this may fall at any moment in 24 hours. Unlike Indian day of solar calendars, Moon date does not start at sunrise but may start at any time when longitude distance between Sun and Moon changes exactly by 12°. Names of lunar month are same as those of months of Vikrami year. Months have been named on the name of Nakshatras. This name of Nakshatra has a special significance because lunar month start with same Nakshatra The starting of various lunar months may be with the following Nakshatras :-

Name of Month Startinq Nakshatra Baishakh Visakha, or Anuradha Jyeshta Jyeshta or Moola Ashada Poorva Ashada Shravana Shravana or Dhanishta Bhadrapada Shatabhisha or Poorva Bhadrapada Ashwin Revati or Aswini or Bharani Kartik Kritika or Rohini Marghshirsh Mrigshira or Ardra Paush Punarvasu or Pusya Magh Aslesha or Magha Phalgun Poorva Phalguni or Hasta Chaitra Chitra or Swati

A Text Book of Astrology 43

Solar year is of 365 days 15 Ghati 22 Pal and 54 Vipal where as Lunar year is of 354 days 22 Ghati 1 Pal and 25 Vipal. Therefore there is a difference of 10 days 53 Ghati 21 Pal and 29 Vipal in Solar and Lunar year. Therefore after 32 1/2 months the difference will become one lunar month. Since all Indian festivals are related to lunar year, each festival will fall 11 days earlier every year. Therefore to adjust lunar year with solar year, after every 2 or 3 years, one lunar month is added into lunar calendar and then this particular year will have 13 lunar months. This makes every festival to fall in the same season. This extra month is known as ADHIKMASA. Since 1947, ADHIK MASA has occurred in the following months and years - July 47, June 50, April 53, August 55, July 58, May 61, September 63, July 66, June 69, April 72, August 74, July 77, May 80, October 82, July 85, May 88, April 91,August 93, June 96, May 99. The basic principle is that the lunar month in which Sun does not make a transit is considered as ADHIKMAS. Sun remains in the same sign throughout such a month. Last ADHIKMAS was from 16th May 99 to 13th June 99. Sun entered Taurus sign on May 15 at 8 hrs 05 minutes and remained in this sign till 14 hrs 38 minutes on June 15. Since distance between Sun and Earth is more during April - October, Sun's apparent speed during this period is slower than average, hence it takes longer time to cover one sign. Therefore ADHIKMASA can fall only during April -October. In contrast to ADHIKMASA, there is another rare phenomenon known as MASAKSHAYA in which lunar year has only 11 months. In such a situation there are two solar transits in the same lunar month. This phenomenon can occur subject to referred to. Thus we are in a position to calculate corrected sidereal time. following three conditions - (a) Earth should be nearest to Sun in its orbit so that apparent speed of Sun is large and it makes its successive transits faster. (b) Although the average lunar month is 29.53 days, the actual duration varies from month to month. It helps if lunar month has a longer duration than average. (c) One transit of Sun should occur soon after the beginning of new lunar month and Sun's next transit should occur just before beginning of month. It has been found that this rare phenomenon can occur after 19 years or 141 years. Maskshaya occurred in 1882 - 83 AD, 1963 - 64 AD and in 1982 - 83 AD

Chapter-6 Calculation of

Ascendant & 12 Houses

Three things are required to erect a horoscope. These are time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. First of all we have to calculate ascendant to cast a horoscope. Ascendant The sign which rises in the eastern horizon at the time of birth or epoch is called ascendant. Sidereal Time We need sidereal time to calculate lagna. Earth completes one rotation on its axis in 24 hours. Sidereal time is the time scale that is based on the Earth's rate of rotation measured relative to the fixed stars. Method to calculate lagna Example-1 Calculate lagna and tenth house for the native born on 12th June 1987 at 3.55 PM in Calcutta.

Answer- First of all calculate sidereal time of birth with the help of Table one. Sidereal time for 12th June 2001 17h 20m 39s Correction for 1987 (Table-2) 248 = (-) 02m Sidereal time at noon on 12 June 1987 17h 18m 15s Correction for Calcutta (-) 04s

17h 18m 11$ ·0) Now we will change the birth time which is 3.55 PM into Local time. Longitude of Calcutta is 88° 30' and longitude of standard meridian of India is 82° 30'. Thus difference between standard meridian and meridian of Calcutta is 5° and 50'. As earth rotates one degree in 4 minutes so we will multiply it with 4. The result will be 23 minutes 30 seconds. As the meridian of Calcutta is ahead of standard meridian of India this will be + 23° and 30 minutes.

IST of birth = 15h 55m 00s

LMT correction = +00h 23m 20s

LMT at birth = 16h 18m 20s

A Text Book of Astrology 47

Refer table 4 for sidereal time correction.

Sidereal Time correction for 16 hrs + 02m 38s II

Sidereal Time correction for 18 min. + 00m 03s

16h 21m 01s . . . .(ii) Add equation (i) and (ii) as the birth time is after 12 in the night.

Value of Equation (i) = 17h 18m 11s ..... (i)

Value of Equation (ii) +16h 21m 01s. .(ii)

= +33h 39m 12s

Sidereal time of the epoch(after - 24 hrs) = 09h 39m 12s

Now calculate janma lagna and tenth house for the sidereal time 09h 39m and 12s. See the table of ascendant in the future panchang on the latitude of Calcutta at 22 ° 35'. Lagna for 09h 40m 6s 25° 49'

Lagna for 09h 30m 6s 23° 37

Lagna moved in 10 minutes 2° 12'

Lagna moved in 600 second 132'

Difference of lagna for 9 minutes 12s =552 s = 132' x 552"

600"

= 121' 26"= 2° 1'26"

Lagna on 09h 30m 6s 23° 37' 00"

9m 12s = 552 second for lagna moved + 2° 01' 26"

6s 25° 38' 26"

Ayanansh correction for 1987 see Table-5 = + 0° 19' 00"

Lagna = 6s 25° 57' 26"

Ascendant calculation for the native born in foreign country

Summer Time Correction In astrology Place of birth is equally important as date and time of birth for the calculation of ascendant. If it is day in India, it is night in America. So the effect of Sun is reversed. Similarly the effect of other planets also change. Longitude and Time Sun is the best time-keeper throughout the world. Sun regularly rises and sets every day. Local time can be measured by the shadow cast by the sun. All the places on a meridian have midday at the same moment. As the earth rotates from West to East, East of Greenwich are ahead of Greenwich time and those in the West behind it. Since the earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, every 4 minute there is a difference of 1 degree. Some countries have a great longitudinal extent and so they adopt more than one standard time. For example USA has as many as 5 standard times. The earth has been divided into 24 time zones of one hour each. A few countries like India adopt a time zone in between the two, like 51/2 hour zone. Time Correction

In countries with high latitudes, day duration changes drastically from say 6 hours in winters to 18 hours in summers. At poles this difference becomes so large that there is day for six months and night for six months. In Northern latitude May, June are longer, whereas in Southern latitude December January are longer and they have summer at this time. In summer the sun rises very early. To take the advantage of sun light, the clocks are advanced by one hour during summer for about six months and it is set back to original position during winter. This advanced time is called "summer time" or "day light saving time". At some places the correction is done for 2 hours and it is called as "double summer time". Similarly sometimes it is only half an hour correction. Since this adjustment is only to save light, it is subtracted before we do any astronomical calculation. Summary For astrological purposes we need date, time and place of birth. City of birth is normally sufficient as place of birth. Along with this one should know the standard time zone and the day light saving time correction to know exactly and correct the time of birth. Time correction for different countries is mentioned in detail in the table of ascendant.

Ascendant calculation for the native born in southern hemisphere

Although the table of ascendants given in the book only relate to places in the northern hemisphere. They may also be used for obtaining the ascendant for places in the northern hemisphere by special contrivance. The table for a particular degree of northern latitude may be used to find the ascendant for a place having the same degree of southern latitude by the following rule.

Rule : As usual first find the sidereal time for the given hour of the day. Add, to it 12 hours. Then with this sidereal time find the Ascendant from the table, and as usual apply to it the Ayanamsa correction. Now add to it + 6 signs (i.e. 180 degrees), and the result Will be the required ascendant for the given place and time. The Tenth House may also be obtained by the above rule. Or it may be obtained by using the ordinary sidereal time in the usual way (i.e. without adding + 12h and + 6 signs) as the results obtained in both the cases are the same as far as the tenth house is concerned.

N.B. Addition of + 12h means that 12h may either be added or subtracted as is convenient, the result in both the cases being the same. Similar is the case in the addition of +6 signs also. It should be borne in mind that both 24 h and 12 signs complete the circle, and hence 24h and 12 signs should be deducted from the corresponding figures whenever they exceed the circle. Tenth house calculation

Tenth house is the point of intersection of the ecliptic of the given time with the meridian of the place is the tenth house for that moment. It is also termed as mid heaven or Medium coeli (MC) and it sometimes called simply meridian. The longitude of this point is as usual measured along sometimes called first point of Aries. The Right Ascension of the MC is the sidereal time of the moment. Calculation of tenth house and extent of house

Planetry Positions

Now let us discuss in detail how to calculation of exact planetary positions or the exact longitudes of the planets at the time of birth of the native. We use ephemeris for this. Longitudes of different planets for the entire year, month-wise, day-wise, are given as at 5.30 AM IST in the yearly ephemeris. To calculate the planetary position for a particular day and time first of all note down the data and time of the birth of the native. Go to the page in the ephemeris on which planetary positions of that month is given. Note down planetary position at 5.30 AM for that particular day from that page. Now we can calculate the planetary position for a particular time of that day easily by using logarithm table given in the ephemeris :- This can be explained in detail with this example Calculate planetary position for the native who is born on the 4th May at 17:20 hrs. First of all take ephemeris of that year and open the page where planetary position of the month of May is given. Note down the planetary positions for the required date 4th May from there. Note the planetary position of 5th May from the ephemeris. Subtract planetary position of 4th May from the planetary position of 5th May to get the difference for 24 hours But we want to know the exact planetary positions for (17:20 hrs - 5.30 hrs) 11:50 hrs. In other words we have to calculate the motion of the planets for 11 hrs 50 minutes. This motion can be calculated by the use the logarithm table. The resultant motion which is in the degrees and minutes will be added to the longitudes of planets given in the ephemeris for 5.30 AM on 4th May. In this way we will calculate the exact longitudes of planets at 17.20 hrs on 4th May. Numbers of ephemeris are available in the market to calculate planetary position but the ephemeris given by N C Lahiri is most accurate and popular. This ephemeris is also considered as the standard ephemeris to rectify errors in astronomical calculation. Planetary positions for every day at 5.30 are given in the yearly ephemeris. To know the planetary position for a particular day at 5.30 AM open the page on which the planetary position of that month is given in the ephemeris of that year. There are two types of ephemeris available in the market - One is yearly ephemeris in which astronomical data for a particular year are given and another is condensed

A Text Book of Astrology 63

ephemeris which shows five or ten years astronomical data. In the condensed ephemeris planetary position is given for alternate days. Thus In the yearly ephemeris planetary positions are given with 24 hours difference while in condensed ephemeris planetary positions are given with 48 hours difference. We can also calculate planetary positions by using Panchang or almanacs. Panchangs also show the planetary position with 24 hours difference. But the planetary positions given in most of the panchangs are based on the Local time rather than 1ST. Thus if we refer panchang to calculate planetary positions then we have to take care that we should only use the panchang published from the birth place of the native to calculate exact planetary position. If there is a panchang in which calculations are not based on local time and its data is similar to the ephemeris of N C Lahiri than it can be referred for the calculation of planetary position in all regions. Future Panchang which is published by future Point Pvt Ltd is such type of panchang. The longitudes of ascendant and tenth house are the longitudes of the mid points of these houses. Mid points of different houses are calculated on the basis of these longitudes only. With this the calculation of starting and ending points of the 12 house should also be calculated to know the exact length of different houses. Example -2 Calculate the exact planetary position for the native born on 30 January 2011 at 3.30 PM. Solution The tables are given in the future panchang for the planetary position can be used for anywhere on earth. We will calculate planetary positions in the following manner- Time of birth = 3.30 PM 15.30 hrs Time as per table= 5.30AM = 5.30 hrs Differnce in time = = 10 hrs

As per page no 68 :- Longitude of Sun on 31 January 2011 at 5.30 AM = (-) 9s 16° 43' 46"

Longitude of Sun on 30 January 2011 at 5.30 AM = 9s 16° 43' 46"

Difference for 24 hrs 1° 00' 57"

Difference for 10 hrs = 1° 0' 57" x 10h 24h

64 A Text Book of Astrology

As per log table = Log (1 ° 0' 57") + Log (1 Oh) - Log (24h) Results as per lob table mentioned in future panchang = 1.3730 + 0.3802-0.0=1.7532

The method of using antilog table is same as that of using log table. But this will be used in reversed order. We will take the degrees given with 1.7532. Here 0 degree 25 minutes is the closest degree. It means Sun Mover 25 minutes ahead in 10 hrs. Antilog (1.7532) = 0 degree 25 minutes Sun's longitude on 30 January 2011 at 5.30 AM 9s 16° 43 46"

Sun's motion in 10 hours 0° 25' 49"

Sun's longitude 9s 16° 07' 49" II

We can calculate longitudes of other planets by using same method. To calculate the longitude of retrograde planets deduct the outcome from the longitude of retrograde planet instead of adding it.

Calculation of planetary positions for the native who is born in foreign country Convert the birth time of the native into Indian Standard Time. Now follow the same method as mentioned above to calculate exact planetary position. Example: Date of birth of the native = 30 January 2011 Time of birth of the native = 15.30 hrs. Place of birth of the native = New yark.

First of all convert New Yark standard time into Indian Standard Time. Longitude of standard meridian of New Yark = 75° 00' West

Longitude of standard meridian of India = 82° 30' East

Greenwich

0°

75°00' 0°0' 82°30' 180° West 180° East Zonal Longitude Zonal Longitude of India of New York

75°00' + 82°30'

Difference between both zonal meridians = 157 degree 30 minutes

Motion of earth in 4 minutes = 1 degree

Thus we will multiply the difference by 4 to know the exact difference of time between both meridians. 157 degrees 30 minutes X 4 minutes = 628 minutes 120 seconds = 630 minutes = 10 hrs 30 minutes Since Newyork is in the West from India. Hence the Indian watch time is advance by 10h 30m from Newyork watch time. Therefore for Time correction from Newyork Time to Indian Time, have to add 10h 30m in Newyork Time. Hour Minute

Time of birth 15 30

Time correction for India (+) 10 30

Indian time 25 60

26 00

02 00

Hence if the time of birth in New Yark is 15 hours 30 minutes then it will be 2.00 Am as per Indian Standard Time. Time of birth of the native will 2.00 AM on 31 January 2011 as per Indian standard time.

Planetary positions will be calculates as per this converted time (2.00 AM)

66 A Text Book of Astrology

As per Indian Standard Time the difference of time between 5.30 Am and birth time is 20 hours 30 minutes .

Longitude of Moon on 30 January 2011 at 5.30 AM = 79 28° 27'

Longitude of Moon on 31 January 2011 at 5.30 AM = 85 11° 15'

Difference in 24 hours = 12° 48'

12° 48 Difference in one minute 24h

Difference in 20 hours 30 minutes = 12° 48' x 20h 30m 24 h

As per log table

Log (12 degree 48 minutes) +Log (20 hours 30 minutes) - Log (24 hours)

=0.2730 +0.0685 -0 = 0.03415 this number is at 10 degree 56 minutes in log table. Longitude of Moon on 30 January 2011 at 5.30 AM 7s 28° 27

Calculation for Retrograde planet

Longitudes of retrograde planets decrease whereas longitudes of planets with direct motion increases constantly. So deduct the calculated motion of retrograde planet from the longitude of that planet and add the motion of direct planet in the longitude of that planet. In the example horoscope Mercury, Jupiter and Rahu are retrograde so the calculated motions of these planets are deducted from the longitudes of these planets. Formation of Horoscope Place the planets in the horoscope prepared on the basis of calculated ascendant. The horoscope formed so is called lagna Kundali. Formation of Moon horoscope In this horoscope Moon sign is taken as the first house .

Chapter-8 Casting of Horoscope Lagna & Chalit

There are different methods of casting a horoscope but North Indian method is most popular amongst all. In this method a square or rectangle is formed and then it is divided in 12 equal parts as shown in figure. These 12 parts are called 12 houses or bhavas of the horoscope. The upper centre part is known as 1 st house and subsequent houses are counted in anticlockwise method from there. Houses are shown by numbers in the following figure. The 1 st house is called lagna or ascendant.

3 1 11

4 10

6 8

The zodiac sign obtained after calculation of lagna is marked by its number in 1st house. Other signs are fixed in other houses in anticlockwise direction. Now planets are placed in various houses according to their signs calculated earlier. Example: In the example horoscope the longitudes of lagna is 6s25°57'26". it means that 6th zodiac sign was over and 7th sign was rising at the time of birth. The 7th zodiac sign is Libra therefore lagna will be Libra. Other signs will be fixed in the horoscope in anticlockwise direction and planets will be placed in the signs of horoscope according to their longitude. The horoscope will be as shown below:

Lagna Horoscope 72 A Text Book of Astrology

Chalit Horoscope In lagna horoscope, planets are marked according to the signs of their position. In chalit horoscope planets are placed according to spread or domain of a house. The cusps of a house indicate starting and ending longitudes of a house and as such its spread is also known. The mid point tells the middle longitude of the house. In the casting of chalit horoscope first of all numbers of signs are written according to their midpoint. For example 1 st house midpoint is 6s25°57'26". It means number 7 of Libra sign will be written in 1 st house. The midpoint of 2nd house is 7s25°57'26" so Scorpio sign will be written in 2nd house. Similarly according to midpoints of all houses, signs will be written in all houses.

Note : Sometimes one zodiac sign covers midpoints of 2 houses in calculation. In that situation, same sign will be marked in both houses. Later on the planets will be marked in the zodiac signs according to their longitudes. For example longitudes of Sun are 9s19°10'. In lagna horoscope Sun has been marked in 4th house. Now we shall see the spread of 4th house in Table of longitudes of houses. The start of 4th house is 9s9°17'37" and its end is at 10s9°28'35". Longitudes of Sun are within the limits of 4th house, therefore Sun will be marked in 4th house. The longitudes of Venus are 7s6°1'which is placed in 2nd house in Lagna Horoscope. The spread of 2nd house is from 7s25 degree 57'26" to 8s25°57'26". The longitudes of Venus are not within 2nd house but are in the limits of 1 st house. The spread of first house is from 6s 25 degree 57 minutes 26 seconds to 7s 24 degrees. Therefore Venus will be placed in 1st house in chalit horoscope. Similarly all planets can be marked. In this way chalit horoscope shows the actual position of planets in the horoscope.

Vimshottari Dasa Calculation

Whatever may be the planetary position in a horoscope, life of a native does not re- main uniform. Life is a cycle of good and bad periods. During course of life, native has to face many obstacles, hardships etc. to protect his rights and achieve success, fight against environment and circumstances. Contrary to this, many times success in achieved without any significant efforts. This phenomenon can best be explained by Dasa - Paddati. According to Main periods, Sub - periods and Sub - Sub - periods of different planets, native goes on getting the results. These results may be favourable or unfavoruable depending upon overall strength of these planets in a horoscope. Although number of Dasa - Systems have been in practice since ancient times, most important of these Dasa - Systems are :- 1. Vimshottari

2. Ashtottari

3. Yogini

4. Vimshottari:

In this system life span has been taken as 120 years. This is based on Nakshtras. In this system cycle begins with Kritika Nakshtra whose ruler is Sun. Dasa period of native starts with his Janma - Nakshtra only. The period assigned to different planets and various Nakshtras for which dasa of a particular planet will be applicable can be explained by following table :-

Calculation of Dasa & Antardasa

In Indian astrology timing of an event is predicted by Dashas. In dashas the most popular and accurate system is of Vimshottari Dasha. The total duration of all dashas is 120 years. Our sages have assumed life to be of 120 years. For calculation of mahadashas the position of Moon at birth time is considered. The sign where Moon is situated is the birth sign of the native and nakshatra where Moon is posited is birth nakshatra. The mahadasha at birth time starts with planet who is lord of birth nakshatra.

The duration of mahadashas of various planets is as below :

Planet Sun Moon Mars Rahu Jupiter Saturn Mercury Ketu Venus

Year 6 10 7 18 16 19 17 7 20

The sequence of mahadashas is same as shown above i.e. after Sun comes Moon, Mars after Moon, then Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus. The duration of antardashas is in the same proportion and sequence is also the same. The balance duration of a mahadasha at the time of birth is calculated as below : The spent degrees of birth nakshatra indicate the balance duration of mahadasha. The span of a nakshatra is 13°20' 800'

For example the longitudes of Moon are 3 9°00'. According to the table of nakshatras, Moon was in Pushya nakshatra. The lord of Pushya is Saturn, therefore mahadasha at birth time was of Saturn. The duration of Pushya is from 3$3°20' to 316°40'. Moon will have to travel 7°40' more to get out of Pushya i.e. balance of nakshatra is 460 kalas. Ending degrees of Nakshatra 3 16°40'

Spent degrees of Nakshatra 3 09°00'

Balance degrees = 7°40' = 7x60'+40'

= 460

Lord of Pushya is Saturn therefore Saturn mahadasha will operate at the time of birth. Saturn has been allocated 19 years which is equivalent to span of one nakshatra i.e. 800 kalas. The balance dasha will be equivalent to balance span of nakshatra.

A Text Book of Astrology 75

Duration of Saturn mahadasha in 800 kala = 19years

Duration of Saturn mahadasha in 460 kala =19 800' , x 460'

= 10 years 11 months 3 days

Note : The last pages of Ephemeris contains table of spent vimshottari dasha. The balance dasha can also be calculated by its help.

By adding the balance period of dasha in date of birth the time of completion of dasha can be known. By addition of tenure of other dashas, their completion time can be known.

For example date of birth is 1.2.1969. The balance of Saturn dasha is 10 years 11 months 3 days. This should be added in date of birth.

YYYY MM DD

Date of Birth 1969 02 01

End of Saturn Dasha 1980 01 04

Duration of Mercury Dasha (+) 17 00 00

End of Mercury Dasha 1997 01 04

Duration of Ketu Dasha (+) 07 00 00

End of Ketu Dasha 2004 01 04

Duration of Venus Dasha ·(+) 20 00 00

End of Venus Dasha 2024 01 04

Duration of Sun Dasha (+) 06 00 00

End of Sun Dasha 2030 01 04

Duration of Moon Dasha (+) 10 00 00

End of Moon Dasha 2040 01 04

Duration of Mars Dasha (+) 07 00 00

End of Mars Dasha 2047 01 04

Calculation of Antardasha

After calculation of mahadahsa, antardasha is determined. As the tenure of a mahadasha is long, it is divided into small parts. During the mahadahsa of a planet, this does not give results in own antardasha but becomes effective when the antardasha of another planet starts.

The formula for calculation of antardasha is that multiply the total years of operating mahadasha by total years of mahadasha of planet whose antardasha is to be calcu- lated and divide it by 120.

For example for calculation of Moon antardasha in Sun mahadasha

Mahadasha years of Sun x Mahadasha years of Moon 120

Antardasha of Moon = 6x10 120 = 6 months

Similarly antardasha period of all planets can be calculated. This is indicated in the table below :

The antardasha can also be calculated by the help of Table in ephemeris.

Balance of Saturn mahadasha is 10 years 11 months 3 days. It means at the time of birth 8 years 0 months 27 days were spent. If we look in the Antardasha Table of Vimshottari dasha in Ephemeris, the antardasha of Venus ends in 9 years 11 months 21 days of Saturn mahadasha, At the time of birth Saturn mahadahsa had passed 8 years 0 months 27 day i.e. at that time antardasha of Venus in Saturn mahadasha was operating. If we subtract spent 8 years 0 month 21 days from 9 years 11 months 21 days balance 1 year 10 months 24 days will be balance antardasha of Venus in mahadasha of Saturn. By adding this balance antardasha in date of birth, the date of completion of Venus antardasha can be calculated.

The details of Vimshottari Dasa and periods assigned to different planets have already been discussed above. The main period running at a particular time will be the lord of Nakshtra in which Moon is posited. Depending upon the longitude of Moon and by calculating the degrees of the particular Nakshtra already passed, we can calculate balance of dasa of main planet on proportionate basis. However, for this purpose we can make use of above table which serves as a ready reekoner to calculate balance of main period depending upon the longitude of moon.

78 A Text Book of Astrology

Example 1. - Longitude of Moon given at the time of birth is 6s 13o 20'. Calculate balance of main period at the time of birth. Ans : Moon is in Libra sign and therefore from the table if we see corresponding to 13° 12' in column no. 3, we find the main dasha running is of Rahu and balance periods is 9 years 0 months 0 Days. In this case Moon is in Swati Nakshtra whose lord is Rahu. Example 2. - Longitude of Moon given at a particular time is 10s 27° 23' Calculate balance of main period. Ans :- Moon in the case is in Aquarius sign and in Purva Bhadrapad Nakshtra whose lord is Jupiter. Therefore main period running should be of planet Jupiter whose total period is 16 years. If we make use of the above table, we see that corresponding to 27° 20' when moon is in Aquarius sign, the main period running is of Jupiter and balance period is 12 years. For 3' using 'Proportional Parts for Dasa of Planets table, we find that corresponding to 3' and Jupiter 0 month and 22 days are to be further subtracted. Therefore balance main period will be (12y OM OD - OM 22D) = 11 years 11 Months and 8 Days. Calculation of sub - periods and sub - sub periods has already been explained while discussing Vimshottari Dasa System.

Divisional Charts

Each House of Lagna chart denotes various significations e.g. various significations of some of the house are as under :-

Second House :- Family, Wealth, Health of spouse, Longevity of self, art collection, right eye, speech etc.

Fourth House :- Mother, House, Land, Happiness, education, conveyance, success in examinations, friends, property, general comforts, heart, domestic life, accident of road, rail or walking etc.

Twelfth House :-

Harm, Punishment received, confinement, expenditure, donations (given), marriage, vedic sacrifices, fines paid, sexual enjoyment outside wedlock, contacting sexually transmitted diseases, weakness in sexual acts, loss of wife, losses in marriage, separation from own people etc.

The above indicates that various significations of each House touch almost every aspect of life. All these aspects are not simultaneously good or bad in one's life. Divisional charts help us by isolating the event governed by a particular divisional chart from those governed by a House.

Divisional charts are studied and analyzed for following two purposes :-

1. To see the strength of a planet by observing its placement in various divisions.

2. For identifying the results of a particular sector of life by studying the corresponding divisional chart along with the concerned house in natal (birth) chart. Although there is a mention of large no. of divisional charts in various texts of Astrology, sixteen divisional charts known as Shodasvargas are considered more important and relevant to important aspects of life. The details of these charts are as under :-

Apart from above Shodasvargas, we also find reference to SHADVARGA, SAPTAVARGA and DASVARGA. The various divisional charts referred to by these are as under: -

Shadvarga Rasi, Hora, Decante, Navamsa, Dwadasamsa, and Trimsamsa.

Saptvarga Add Saptamansa in Shadvarga.

Dasvarga : Add Shodasamsa, Dasamamsa and Shashtiamsa in Saptavarga.

General Principles for Analysing Divisional Charts

1. Divisional charts are not independant like Rasi chart. An event can take place only when it is indicated in Rasi chart. Event should not be predicted on the basis of divisional chart alone.

2. A planet becomes powerful if it is exalted, situated in his own sign, possesses digbala in divisional chart.

3. In divisional chart planets in 4th, 7th, and 10th houses give very good results. They give good results in 5*, 9"n and 11th houses, whereas the 2nd house is neutral in all the divisional charts.

4. Any planet situated in 3rd, 8th and 12th from ascendant of a divisional chart gives bad result during his period. Exalted planets situated in these houses become powerless to give good results.

5. Benefics on both sides of ascendant of a divisional chart or of a planet increase good effects. Similarly malefics on both sides increase bad effects.

6. Principles of Dasa - Bhukti are also applied to divisional charts to judge the effects.

7. The effects of transits are also judged from divisional chart.

8. A debilitated planet in divisional chart gives bad results in his Dasa or Bhukti concerning aspect of life denoted by that divisional chart unless there is a cancellation of debilitation e.g. Debilitated planet in Navamsa - causes problems in married Sapthamsa - causes unhappiness about children. Chaturvimsamsa - causes dislocation or obstacles in education.

9. Any planet placed in 3rd or 8* house in any divisional chart causes death like effects during his Dasa or Bhaukti. e.g. To spouse in Navamsa To profession in Dasamsa (like retirement or resignation)

82 A Text Book of Astrology

10. A Planet situated in the same sign both in Rasi chart and any divisional chart is called 'Vargottam' with reference to that divisional chart. The results of Vargottam planets are always good. The results of Vargottam planets as per different astrological texts are as under :-

Saravali Good Results

Chandrakalanadi - Results of Rajyoga and enjoyment

Phaladipika - Results as if planet is placed in own sign

Let us now see how various divisional charts are cast and what are the principles of interpretation of some of the important divisional charts.

Hora

Sat 5s-15° -28' Rahu

Rahu 10s - 2° - 44' Ketu

Ketu 4s 20 - 44' HORA

Principles of interpretation of Hora chart:

1. Jupiter, Sun and Mars give pronounced effects in Hora of Sun. The Moon, Venus and Saturn do so in Moon's Hora. Mercury is equally effective in both Horas. 2. In case of even Rasi, the Hora of Moon with be powerful. In odd Rasi, Sun's Hora will be powerful. 3. The effect due to a Hora will be derived fully if planet is in the first one-third part of Hora. The effect will be medium or nil according to the placement being in second or third part of Hora. 4. During operational period of planets placed in Hora of Sun, a native earns and accumulates wealth by own efforts. During the planets placed in Hora of Moon, earning and accumulation of wealth comes natural i.e. without much effort.

Dasamamsa Dasamamsa chart can pinpoint factors causing delays and temporary disappointments in profession. Principles of Interpretation of Dasamamsa Chart 1. In Dasamamsa Lagna assumes a tremendous significance. If Lagna is aspected by benefics, it becomes strong, then it may be presumed that career of the native stands on a good foundation provided, of course, Lagna chart does not tell altogether different results.

2. If powerful Sun is posited in upachaya houses aspected by Jupiter, native is likely to get recognition and eminence in career.

3. If Dasa lord is strong in lagna chart and poised to give good results but lacks adequate strength in Dasamamsa, such Dasa lord may create uncertainties, under critical sub - periods. A sub dasa lord unfavourably placed in Dasamamsa from Dasa lord and afflicted with malefics may even temporarily hold up anticipated results.

4. Planets in tenth house in Dasamamsa during their ruling periods will better the prospects of one's career.

5. If there is no planet in tenth house in Dasamamsa, then its lord during its ruling period will confer honour to the native.

6. Planets aspecting lord of tenth house in Dasamamsa should also be considered powerful with respect to one's profession. 7. The period of planets in kendra of Dasamamsa will be a mile stone in one's career.

Shashtiamsa

(60 Parts of 30' each)

The counting of Shashtiamsa is done from the same sign for all signs. To findout the Shashtiamsa lord, ignore the sign position of planet and take degree etc. of that planet, multiply that figure by 12 and add 1. The resultant number is the sign from the sign whose Shashtiamsa is to be known is which the Shastiamsa falls and the lord of that sign will be the Shastiamsa lord.

Suppose we have to find out the Shastiamsa of the Sun's position 1$4°11'. The sign position is ignored i.e. 1 is ignored. The remainder 4°11' is multiplied by 2, we get 8° - 22'. Ignoring minutes the degrees are divided by 12 i.e. 8/12, the remainder being 8 is added to 1 i.e. 8+ 1=9. As the Sun's position is in Taurus, 9 signs from Taurus are counted which gives the sign Capricorn. Therefore Shashtiamsa is of Capricorn and Saturn is the Shashtiamsa lord.
