Why we miss the target

[Guest guest]

Why we miss the target – correct date of happening - by most astrologers.

 

In the calculation of VIMSHOTTARI Desa time frame, to tell when the influence

of a Planet will operate, it is generally found that the date ‘inferred’ usually

slips and the natal feel disappointed on the readings of the Astrologer.

 

We take the year to consist of 12 months of 30 days each in the calculations

under the Vimshottari system. Therefore, the year in the calculation of this

time frame has 360 days. When we say that the major period of the Sun, for

instance, extend over 6 years, we mean that the major period of the Sun runs for

360 X 6 = 2160 days. We know that the average current calendar year has

approximately 365.25 days, three consecutive years of 365 days and fourth being

366 years. Inducting this, the major Sun period will have at least one leap year

and balance five normal years. Taking this to the calculations of the Sun’s

Desa period, it will be at least 365 X 5 + 366 = 2191 days.

This will bring to our knowledge that an error of 31 days, if we take the

length of the Sun Desa period. The Desa period of the Sun is the shortest.

While we deal with other major Desa periods of other Planets, this diference of

days will be more.

 

In Mars or Ketu it will be at least 36 days, while in the major period of

Venus it will be at least 105 days (and more).

 

Therefore, without converting the 360 day year into calendar year, in spite of

our best efforts, mistake in the fixation of time of happening an event though

the Vimshottari Desa system is inevitable.

Dear Sri Venkatachalapathi ji,

 

You started good thread. Here are my views. I start my views with my

own example. At lesast there are about a dozen major events that I

can correlate, since I know all events that happened in my life.

More over, I have a habit of remembering all the important dates of

events in my life.

 

When I analyzed my own horoscope a few years ago, the paramters I

used were 365 days/yr method, and the time of birth provided to my

by my parents, which they claim to be correct.

 

I attempted to correct my birth time both on higher side and lower

side taking a 15 minutes window (+ or - 15 min.) and then started

calibrating my horoscope, using Jagannatha Hora (Thanks to Sri PVR,

his software is very useful to me most of the time). After a few

trials, I figured out that my navamasa lagna changes to the adjacent

rasi, and to my surprise, my characteristics fit exactly to the

changed navamsa lagna, and not to the original navamsa lagna. I also

noticed that my calibration of past events is much closer to the

actual dates than before. Then I added the new parameter by changing

the days/year to 360. I saw a dramatic change in the dates of

events; because we see an average of 5 days/yr difference. This will

be substantial diference for any of us, and amounts to a few months

of different. I was very satisfied with my approach.

 

Then Finally I started fine-tuning the birth time correction in

smaller (delta) variances and came to a stunningly accurate matching

of my events, to the extent of 95% or more accuracy.

 

Of course, it is always easy to correct own horoscope or of those of

close family members. But for a client, to do this type of

calibration takes a lot of time (not a few hours, but atleast a few

days at a minimum per every horoscope), and hence practically

impossible to do on every horoscope. The other point is, in our own

case, we know every event to calibrate, whereas in the case of

others, we have to depend on input given by the natives, but no

choice. THese are certainly the limitations.

 

Believe me, if you calibrate this way, you can match the events to

the Praana dasa level (level 5), which comes as close to the

specific day.

 

Having said this, I mention here another observation.

In some horoscopes, some planets can be identified with certainty to

give certain type of results; in the other type of horoscopes, the

same result can be attributed to be given by more than one planet.

In the first case, it would be fairely simple to date the events,

particularly if we can make wise use of transits of planets also.

But in the second case, it would be very difficult to not only date

the events, but also to give exact predictions. My own horoscope

falls in this category and even some very good astrologers also

failed to give even approximate predictions; while one or two

astrologers who have added intuition, gave stunning predictions to

me, which gave 100% results.

 

Here comes the experience and deep understanding/knowledge of the

astrologer along with other good qualities such as sincerity,

honesty, and not being greedy etc.

 

Now I am very much convinced to use the 360 day/yr approach. I am

not convincing here anyone; people can use their own methods; but I

am only sharing my experience.
