1. Explain the changing of the seasons and its

connection with the above mentioned astronomical

factors

 

Due to the inclination of the earth's axis the

intensity of the sun's rays vary during the course of

its trajection. As the sun moves, its location in

relation to the earth will give us our different

seasons.

 

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.

 

Due to the tilt of the earth, the poles face towards

or away from the sun. They therefore receive extended

periods of light and darkness.

 

3. Parasara mentions two classes of heavenly bodies:

the moeving and non-moving ones. Please explain, what

will be the difference between their roles in the

astrological interpretation.

 

The non moving ones are the nakshatras or

constellations. They provide fixed points of

measurement in the sky. Their effects are always the

same. The grahas or planets are the moving ones. We

interpret a chart using the positions of the grahas in

relation to the nakshatras.

 

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?
