Birth Lagna, Rashi & Rudraksha/Jamini

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jaminiji,

 

Sorry for late response; been very busy recently Just a couple

of humble cents' worth below. Other friends who are experienced in

Jyotish may wish to comment or add to this:

 

Tropical or Western Astrology uses the vernal equinox (the Sun's

position at the beginning of spring) as the starting point for the

measurements along the zodiac. Sidereal (Vedic) Astrology uses

fixed stars to identify different segments along the zodiac.

 

The starting points of the sidereal and tropical zodiacs coincide

once every 25,800 years. After that the starting points separate

from each other by an approximate 1 degree of an arc per each 72

years. The difference between the longitude of the starting points

of the sidereal and tropical zodiacs at any given time is called

Ayanamsha.

 

Due to the existing controversy about the year in which the two

starting points coincided last, there are several ayanamshas used by

different schools of Vedic astrologers. Some of them are Lahiri,

Krishnamurti, Raman, and Fagan ayanamshas. Lahiri is the most

widely used Ayanamsha which is based on the last coincidence point

taking place in the year 285 A.D.

 

To convert sidereal (Vedic) planetary positions into tropical

(Western), it can be done by adding ayanamsha to the degrees of the

planets in a Vedic chart. To arrive at the sidereal positions by

converting the tropical ones, the anyanamsha is subtracted from the

tropical positions.

 

Jamini, not sure if you would agree with the above as I'm sure you

would know a lot more about Jyotish than I do perhaps.

 

For our other friends here who are not able to read chart numbers,

may I suggest you contact the following 3 professional astrologers

who are known to us on this list as they will be able to assist

better:

 

In the U.S.A., contact Alan Scherr: source311

 

In Victoria, Australia, contact Karuji: heen

 

In New South Wales, Australia, contact Sahadeva:

sahadevanet

 

Hope the above is of some assistance.

 

Jai Shree Ganeshaya

for amongst His monumental Glories,

He is Lord of Jyotish,

Lord of Categories

and Lord of Rnanubandhana,

 

Best regards,

Sy (or Simone)

in Sydney, Australia.

a doubt that I have for very long time. Since my birth my Rashi is

supposed to be Pisces/Revati and Lagna Kumbha. The Moon located at

29 deg 56 min 16 sec. but these days almost every one feeds my birth

data and says that I am Aries/Ashwini. There is only one

site "Astrodienst" of Germany which gives me the birth chart as it

was during my birth 39 years ago! This site is for the experienced

and gives a 16 page report most of them are numbers...! (for this

you have to select Walter Pullen's interpretation) I studied the

chart and found that it is giving the location of stars/planets at

the time of my birth.
