Dear Sri.Deepak Nair,

Kindly explain the answer for query (1).

Sunrise marks the beginning of the solar day (Vaara), the lagna for the day

rises.The length of time duration between Sunrise and set denotes ‘Agas

‘(daytime) And its mid point indicates ‘Abeejit ‘ nakshatra which is an

invisible TWENTY EIGHTH star. All mukurthas on Abeejit nakshatra is called

Abeejit mukurtha and such mukurthas said to absolve nakshatra dhoshas. The

mukurtha during Sunrise/Sunset are said to be Godhooli mukurtha which would

absolve the Thithi and Lagna dhosha respectively.

With regards,

D.SathiyanarayanaGupta.

I wish happy New Year.

Dear Deepak,

 

I would like to share what I have learned from our

guru's on this topic.

 

 

The so-called "true" nodes are the intersection points

of the momentary apparent lunarorbit and the ecliptic

(or, to be more correct, the momentary apparent orbit

of Sun).

 

Actually the expression "true nodes" is a misnomer. It is

rather "hypothetical nodes". The true nodes are true only

twice a month, when Moon crosses the ecliptic. At other

times, the positions given for them are just a hypothesis.

 

As you know, Mean nodes always move backwards (which is

what Rahu and Ketu are supposed to do, as per scriptures

and classics). True nodes have an osculating motion - they

move forward for sometime and backward for sometime (but

backward overall).

 

I use the "mean" nodes, based on the Various Guru's

researches with divisional charts and Narayana dasa

examples. Of course, others may differ.

 

Regards

Raghunadha Rao
