for dashas: mean sidereal year or 365.25?

[Guest guest]

hello,

this question is for the group.

what do most astrologers use with the most success, the mean

sidereal year, or the 365.25 day year, when computing vimshottari

dashas?

i would appreciate as many responses from the group as possible,

since these change the timing by 5-6 months, a considerable amount,

and i would like to know what is being used the most.

thanks,

kalidas

I use a hybrid year. I use full solar years, the fraction of the years is

converted to Months, the fraction of months is converted to days by multiplying

by 30. When such dates are added if I get say 2 months 30 days, then I convert

that to March 1st/2nd depending on the Year. Similarly if get 6 months 31 days,

then it is converted to 1st july . this way the Difference in Calender date by

using 1 year = 365.25 days and this method is only 1 or 2 days. Where dashas

durations using 365.25 days per year are concerned, I calculated the Dasha

Duration not in Years, but in DAYS. i.e KETU dasha is not 7 yrs but 7*365.25

days... So I get years and days in calculations. These are converted to

Calender Dates .

Namaste,

 

This is a controversy and each group will swear by the fact that they

get best results by using either 365 or 360 days. I have found best

results by using 360 days civil years. The point is whether the

software uses parallax coorection of the moon or not. Most sftwares

use geocentric positions , meaning moon is looked from the center of

the earth. If one observes from the surface of the earth then the moon

position will be differnt and that can make the 5 days /year

diffrence. I think if one uses topocentirc positions then may be 365

days/year may work, however if the softwre is using geocentric

reference then 360 per year works best.

 

....

Dear Kalidas,

I have been using 360 Savana days, with fair amount of success.

Chandrashekhar.

Dear group,

I would like to add one more question to Kalidas'

query...

We have the Indian Time taking Alahabad as base.

Obviously there will be difference in time for each

and every place, other than Alahabad.

Now we are considering the Indian standard time as our

birth time and getting our chart generated by software

- My question is whether the software (JHL) takes care

of adjusting the time to the local time and

calculation is done for chart preparation ?

Wont the local astrologer preparing chart using

sunrise and sunset for time, be more accurate ?

Vedic astrology is so accurate that even the

distinction of twins could be achieved. So difference

of very few minutes could change the chart ...

Can someone please explain this ?

 

Regards

ArvindRaj

Dear Arvind Raj

All SWs of any consequence take the Local Time of Birth, in fact take the Local

Siderial Time for calculating the Ascendent, and other houses. The Local

Astrologer, has to have correctly the SUNRISE at place of birth, then only he

can proceed. Most Panchangs, which traditional Astrologers use, give the

SUNRISE and SUNSET for the particular place of publicaion, not place of Birth.

For example, Gujert Samachar published in Ahemdabad, gives Sunrise sunset at

Ahemedanad, and the times of settin of signs at Ahmedabad. You cannot use it

for a Bombay Birth, without elaborate adjustments.
