Disputed points of astrological calculations.

!!Shri!!

There are so many points, necessary in the process of casting a complete horoscope, such as Ayanamsa, some Varga charts, Gulika etc.

These deficiencies of astrology create a lot of confusion for beginner students. It stands a big question for beginners, what should I use! The deciding process is often too long and cumbersome and takes much valuable time.

These disputed points often become the cause of mockery to the subject and also for its followers.

Some scholars have done work in this area but that is personal and not accepted by other. The necessity is this; all the leading schools and personalities of astrology should come forward together in this direction. They should exchange their data showing ‘How this calculation point is true over others at this particular horoscope’!

There are many unfailing predictive clues, and these can help us in deciding process.

Any solution should be logical and must fit on practical ground.

Here I am giving my experienced concept and methods of such disputed points. These may be helpful for beginners. They are free to make further research on these points.

1-    Ayanamsa-

Use only and only Lahiri ayanamsa (chitra pakshiya).

2-    Sun Rise-

When the upper edge of the Sun touches the horizon.

3-    Day-

Sunrise to next Sunrise. The night of any day is equal to the 5^th day from it for predictive purposes.

4-    Year-

Consider it equal to 365.25 days. The learned late author Sri R.Santhanam advocated for the year of 360 days. It is also a perplexing question.

5-    House division-

Take it as per the method of Sri Pati or Porphyry`s system.

6-    Hora-

Divide the day duration into 12 equal parts and the value of one part is equal to one hora. The same process will be for the night, dividing the time of sunset to the next sunrise into 12 equal parts.

7-    Gulika-

Calculate according to Parasari`s method by taking the sunrise when the upper edge of the sun touches the horizon.

8-    Varga charts-

Use the Varga chart as much as possible on the basis of continuous reckoning, making equal division, equal to said Varga chart except in some cases of special conditions as in the D-12 chart. We can also get the Varga position of any figure by simply multiplying the digit of said Varga for which it is known, as for calculating the D-7 chart, simply multiply the figure by ‘7’ and make it within the range of zodiac if necessary.

9-   

Judge the matters of the house from a Varga chart for it is known or named as see the matters of progeny in the D-5 chart, and matters related to 7^th house should be judged by D-7 chart. The 7^th house stands for intercourse (conception) and may be also for delivery so we can use it for this purpose but the existing or live children or the child just after birth came in the signification of 5^th house so as well D-5 chart. Its (Child) nourishment in the womb may come into the 5^th house significations or 7^th house also may rule it.

The role of fate is prominent in all the achievements of man so the role of Navamsa (D-9) is also most significant as it falls in the 9^th house, the house of destiny. Marriage is a much more important event in human life the source of best corporal enjoyment and the secret feeling of the eternity of self in the form of his son. A father lives his dreams through his son. So according to much importance of marriage, our seers have put this matter to the D-9 chart, in the hand of destiny beside of D-7 chart. Though technically point of view we should examine D-7 chart for matters related to marriage.

10-                       Char Karak-

Only seven, avoid shadowy planet.

11-                       Rahu true or mean!

Use only the true position of Rahu for the best result.

12-                       Karakamsa ascendant-

See the Karakamsa chart in the Rasi chart (D-1) and equally important the Swamsa chart in the navamsa chart.

13-                       ‘Kakshya’ division of orbit for transit purposes in the Astakvarga system or for any other uses are eight in number including the Kakshya of ascendant.

14-                       ‘Pad Lagna’ of Jaimini`s system-

Don`t use exceptions for best results and for more accuracy calculate ‘Pad’ taking longitudinal distance. Use the following formula –

‘Pad’ = (Longitude of house lord) - (Longitude of the house) + (Longitude of house lord) and make the resultant figure within the limit of the zodiac.
