Career success (Tendulkar's chart as example)

[Guest guest]

Let us take the example of famous Indian cricketer, Sachin Tendulkar

to see whether astrology can be used to predict career/success in a

deterministic manner.

 

Tendulkar was born on 23 April 1973. Please bear with me as I put

together some background information...

 

I found the population of Bombay estimated to be 6 million in 1973

(on a website whose URL I did not copy - I can locate it via web

search if needed). The populations of Calcutta, Delhi and Chennai

have been extrapolated from the Bombay population (they are all less

than Bombay).

 

So, we have:

 

Population of Bombay in 1973 : 6 million

Population of Calcutta in 1973 : 4 million

Population of Delhi in 1973 : 3 million

Population of Chennai in 1973 : 3 million

 

I will take an annual birth rate of 3 percent for 1973 for all these

major cities. ( Quote from mapsindia.com: "The birth rate of India

has declined from 40 per 1000 in the 1960s to 28 in 1995-96." ).

 

So, in 1973,

 

Bombay had 6 million x 0.03 = 180,000 births (or 493 people / day)

Calcutta had 4 million x 0.03 = 120,000 births (or 328 people / day)

Delhi had 3 million x 0.03 = 90,000 births (or 246 people / day)

Chennai had 3 million x 0.03 = 90,000 births (or 246 people / day)

 

This again translates to:

 

Bombay had 21 people born each hour.

Calcutta had 14 people born each hour.

Delhi had 10 people born each hour.

Chennai had 10 people born each hour.

 

Consider 23 April 1973, 16:31:10 in Bombay. Lagna is Virgo, 6 deg 0

min. By Narasimha's recommendation (in an old post), we assume

Sachin's D-10 lagna to be in Cancer. The D-10 lagna remains in

Cancer till 16:43:45.

 

In other words, the combination of D-1 and D-10 remains for nearly

13 min. All divisional charts of coarser resolution will remain the

same, ie D-3, D-4, D-5, D-6, D-7, D-8, D-9 and D-10 will be the same.

 

Now, considering the earth's distance from the planets, the distance

between Bombay to Chennai etc is trivial. The only thing that is

making the charts change with place is the ascendant. So, if we

change the time slightly for each place, we should get an ascendant

of Virgo 6 deg 0 min, while not affecting the placement of any of

the planets.

 

In other words, for 4/23/1973, we get identical D-1 through D-10:

 

In Calcutta, between 15:29:10 and 15:42:00,

In Delhi, between 16:13:35 and 16:27:10

In Chennai, between 16:01:33 and 16:13:38.

 

(In each case, for approximately 12 minutes).

 

So, taking the average births per hour for each city (computed

above), In this 12 minute period (ie 0.2 hours), we could have:

 

Bombay: 21 births / hour = 4 births

Calcutta: 14 births / hour = 3 births

Delhi: 10 births / hour = 2 births

Chennai: 10 births / hour = 2 births

 

In other words, *considering India's major cities alone* for that

date, one can potentially find eleven people with Sachin

Tendulkar's D-1, D-3, D-4, D-5, D-7, D-9 and D-10.

 

If we took other cities in India into account, we could potentially

find such windows of time (for identical D-1 through D-10) for each

place, and if we similarly used the population of that place and the

birth rate, I would not be surprised if we came up with 20-50 people

with charts matching Tendulkar's D-1 ... D-10.

 

Yet, we have only one sportsman of the caliber of Tendulkar. Most

Indians would agree that in his generation atleast, there is nobody

even remotely close to him in stature, fame or earnings. So, what

are we to conclude?

 

1. There was nobody else born in India with the same D-1 ... D-10 of

Tendulkar. In other words, somehow or the other, against the

probabilities, nobody else was born during those time windows,

among the 41,000 people born in India on 23 Apr 1973 ( approx 500

million people in 1973, with an approx annual birth rate of 3

percent).

 

OR

 

2. Among many people with near identical charts, one may prove to be

exceptional, and God alone knows why. Astrology as we practice it,

cannot really explain why (unless D-150 or D-300 have an answer).

 

OR

 

???

 

Comments invited -- the figures I have used for population and birth

rate are not exact, but please concentrate on the logic, not the

specifics (the date/time windows for the same D-1 ... D-10 are exact).

 

 

I remain,
