Guest guest Posted June 2, 1999 Report Share Posted June 2, 1999 Jaya Jagannath Dear Robert, The Mean Node IS the correct Node. "True Node" is a misnomer as it is merely a mathematical point. Oscillation i.e retrogression for a few Days and direct motion for a few days is not allowed by the Maharishi's. This is allowed for the other planets, but not for Rahu. It is for this reason that for the calculation of Chara Karaka, the longitude of Rahu is always reckoned from the end of the sign. For other planets, even if they are retrograde, their longitude is reckoned from the begining of the sign.
