Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Dear visti ji, what is the differance between True node and mean node as i get different chart if i use true and if i use mean node system. might be because of the transit of Rahu and ketu in the days of my birth. and what should i follow. Kindly suggest . Tarun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
