Lesson 1

[Guest guest]

1. Explain the changing of the seasons and its connection with the

above mentioned astronomical factors.

Seasons change due to the change in intensity of the sun rays at

different locations of the earth at different times. This change in

intensity is caused by the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth relative to

its plane of movement in its orbit around the sun.

 

2. There are some days of the year when the Sun either doesn't rise

or set above certain parts of the globe. Please explain this

phenomenon.

The sun does not set above the north pole and the south pole at

certain times because these areas are exposed to the sun for a long

period of time due to the tilt of the earth relative to its plane of

movement in its orbit around the sun and vice versa.

 

3. Parasara mentions two classes of heavenly bodies: the moving and

non-moving ones. Please explain, what will be the difference between

their roles in the astrological interpretation.

Parashara has considered the Nakshatras as non moving bodies and the

planets as moving bodies. The natal chart is drawn taking the

nakshatras as a frame of reference for the position of the grahas.

 

4. If you are able to construct your own chart, please do it and

explain as many astronomical principles from it as you can

(terrestrial latitude/longitude, season, Sun's cycle, Sunrise/Sunset

etc.). Also try to determine which planets are above and under the

horizon in your chart. In which Ayana the Sun is?
