I believe you have not read old hindu astronomy books such as the Surya Siddhanta. If so, you would have taken an ayanamsha that is related to Revati, i.e. ushashashi, or the polar longitude of Spica. When you read the book, you see that the Stars positions relate to the Ushashashi ayanamsha, or take Revati as 29Pi50. This is the definiton of Hipparcos zodiac: " When Spica sets, Aries rises " at 36 north. At this latitude, when Spica sets, Zeta Spicum rises, though the Revati tradition. Then you read the Surya Siddhanta and see an edition of the book that puts Spica at 180°48'. That is its place if you compute its culmination and put the meridian at 0 Aries. That is good for all the world. If so, the fiduciary date becomes 19 jan 347. 2000 ayanamsha is around 23°00'21 " (swiss ephemeris). It means someone corrected the definition of Hippachos to make a correct zodiac: with the meridian as THE reference (and not the horizon). This goes in the direction of Raman, Bhasin, Rajan and Krushna (within 3') ayanamsha. This relates to the calculation of Bhaskaracharya who gave 11° of ayanamsha for 1183, according to Gayatri Devi Vasudev. People need to understand the hindu Tradition before they write something. Harmonics have nothing to do with ayanamsha. -- François Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
