geographic to geocentric lattitudes

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:59 PM

I would like to do this conversion manually.   No software with me. How to do it, is  my problem. ? Will

somebody educate me in a simple term? With basic mathematical

calculations.  NOT trigonometry or

Calculus etc., Expecting eagerly     Swamynathan.

 

Dear Swamynathaniyer ji,

 

Since you are not using Software, for casting you may be using Table of

houses.

Two tables are popular.1. Raphels   2.  UTOH..

In case You are using Raphels  table of  house  it shows  for latitudes By name of city that falls at

latitudes.

 In any case in olden days when

we learned casting geocentric sanskar was taught to

be applied.

For Each degree of Latitude we were given kala

and vikla to be deducted irrespective of It is North or south. It is in table form. can be found in panchangs .

For example For 27 Degree 9 kala and 22 vikla were deducted. to get  Geocentric latitude.  UTOH  gives 9 kala

 and 18 

vikla.

For it table is available in various panchangs

also.

In case you are using UTOH , table VI has got

conversion sanskar on page 198

Hope this helps.

Geocentric Correction (KP for Beginners- Part 2, KPE-Zine)

 

12. In the calculation of cuspal positions, these days there is a

tendency of preferring Geocentric latitude of a place of birth other

than Geographic latitude assuming for better accuracy. " Geocentric

Correction " is supported by many SWs like KPAstro 3.0, Astraura,

Jyotishya Deepika, Solar Fire. It is to note that the ephemeris

gives the Geocentric positions of the planets (i.e. the positions

are as seen form the center of the earth), and the charts with the

common indication of Geocentric are generally Geocentric for

planetary positions only but Geographic for cuspal positions. It is

supposed to be the same with the example charts in the KP Readers as

it is said that Guruji Sri K.S. Krishnamurti used Geographic

latitude only. So it is better to mention " Geocentric Correction " ,

if it is used, to make it clear in comparing with the commonly used

Geographic cuspal positions.

 

13. In using the " Geocentric Correction " , the Geographic latitude of

birth place given by the atlas is to be converted into the

Geocentric latitude by subtracting the minute for correction given

in the Table 14. The minute for correction increases up to around 11

minutes till 45 latitude and then declines. As 1 min roughly covers

1.8 km, this maximum 11 min would cover about 20 km. This difference

is not much with compared to the differences in Ayanamsa values to

change the sub-lords except in the border line cases. However, the

better accuracy is preferable like taking the correct suburb of

birth in the case of big cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and

Chennai. A short article will be presented on different views on

which one, Geographic or Geocentric latitude, is more accurate.

interpolation from the values for 22° N and 23° N, the cuspal

positions for 22° N are calculated as follows.

Dear Swamy Ji,

Thanks for Shri TinWin's guidance.

To get accurate value, just use a scientific calculator.

Every KP astrologer should have one. It costs just Rs. 300 - 700. Go for a higher version around Rs. 600 - 700.

Learn how to use The Deg-Min-Sec (DMS) button.

Use the below formula (as given in Shri.K.Hariharan's Universal Tables of Houses Book).

 

To convert the Geographical Latitude of a Place to its Geocentric Latitude, do as below:

-----------------

Example: for SALEM (TN): Geographic Lat is 11.39 N = Geocentric Lat is 11.34.27 N

-----------------

Step 1: Press TAN button;

Press 11, then DMS button;

Press 39, then DMS button

(You will get this answer) = 0.206180118

Now multiply this answer by x 0.99330546

(You will get another answer) = 0.204799837.

Keep it on the screen.

Step 2: Press Shift Button, then press TAN button.

This gives the Geocentric Latitude in Integer and Decimal) = 11.57411985

Keep it on the screen.

Step 3: Press Deg-Min-Sec button.

This gives the Geocentric Latitude in Deg.Min.Sec.) = 11.34.26.83 N

to round off = 11.34..27 N

------------------

Geocentric Latitude = Press TAN, then Press Geographical Lat (in DMS)

x by 0.99330546

Press Shift , then press TAN.

= in Integer-Decimal

Press DMS

= in Deg-Min-Sec.

Dear Mohan Kumar,

Most of the better SWs today give the option for geocentric positions/chart...

For example Mr.Raichur's SW which I use has incorporated it...

With best wishes,

Dear Rao Sir,

Thanks again for the comment.

My intention is to help those who want to know about conversion from geographical to geocentric latitude.

Any SW not considering the Geocentric conversion in this manner for cuspal positions cannot be a KP SW at all.

One can check the geocentric values given by any SW by using the calculation I have mentioned here.

Cuspal positions in any KP chart has to be erected only by taking this geocentric latitude for the Place of Birth, because NASA's data on planetary positions are provided only taking into consideration this Geocentric Latitudes, with respect to Earth's Centre point. (KP Ephemeris - from the year 1980 onwards - notifies this aspect.)

Hence, the Cuspal positions also should be so. Just one of the basic lessons in KP.

Shri KSK had used only geographical latitudes - some may mention.

Sorry to say, it's sheer ignorance. May be our Guruji was not aware at that time.

Let's be clear in WHAT IS WHAT.With thanks and warm regards,Mohan Kumar.R.Scientific Astrologer & Spoken English TutorAdvanced Stellar Astrology Research Academy (KP based)219/84, Moongapadi St.,Gugai, SALEM - 636 006Cell: 99443-07025--- On Wed, 8/27/08, Yogesh Rao Lajmi <lyrastro1 wrote:

Dear Swamy Ji,

Thanks for Shri TinWin's guidance.

To get accurate value, just use a scientific calculator.

Every KP astrologer should have one. It costs just Rs. 300 - 700. Go for a higher version around Rs. 600 - 700.

Learn how to use The Deg-Min-Sec (DMS) button.

Use the below formula (as given in Shri.K.Hariharan' s Universal Tables of Houses Book).

 

To convert the Geographical Latitude of a Place to its Geocentric Latitude, do as below:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------

Example: for SALEM (TN): Geographic Lat is 11.39 N = Geocentric Lat is 11.34.27 N

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------

Step 1: Press TAN button;

Press 11, then DMS button;

Press 39, then DMS button

(You will get this answer) = 0.206180118

Now multiply this answer by x 0.99330546

(You will get another answer) = 0.204799837.

Keep it on the screen.

Step 2: Press Shift Button, then press TAN button.

This gives the Geocentric Latitude in Integer and Decimal) = 11.57411985

Keep it on the screen.

Step 3: Press Deg-Min-Sec button.

This gives the Geocentric Latitude in Deg.Min.Sec. ) = 11.34.26.83 N

to round off = 11.34..27 N

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ---------

Geocentric Latitude = Press TAN, then Press Geographical Lat (in DMS)

x by 0.99330546

Press Shift , then press TAN.

= in Integer-Decimal

Press DMS

= in Deg-Min-Sec.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Geocentric Correction (KP for Beginners- Part 2, KPE-Zine)12. In the calculation of cuspal positions, these days there is a tendency of preferring Geocentric latitude of a place of birth other than Geographic latitude assuming for better accuracy. "Geocentric Correction" is supported by many SWs like KPAstro 3.0, Astraura, Jyotishya Deepika, Solar Fire. It is to note that the ephemeris gives the Geocentric positions of the planets (i.e. the positions are as seen form the center of the earth), and the charts with the common indication of Geocentric are generally Geocentric for planetary positions only but Geographic for cuspal positions. It is supposed to be the same with the example charts in the KP Readers as it is said that Guruji Sri K.S. Krishnamurti used Geographic latitude only. So it is better to mention "Geocentric Correction", if it is used, to make it clear in comparing with the

commonly used Geographic cuspal positions. 13. In using the "Geocentric Correction", the Geographic latitude of birth place given by the atlas is to be converted into the Geocentric latitude by subtracting the minute for correction given in the Table 14. The minute for correction increases up to around 11 minutes till 45 latitude and then declines. As 1 min roughly covers 1.8 km, this maximum 11 min would cover about 20 km. This difference is not much with compared to the differences in Ayanamsa values to change the sub-lords except in the border line cases. However, the better accuracy is preferable like taking the correct suburb of birth in the case of big cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. A short article will be presented on different views on which one, Geographic or Geocentric latitude, is more accurate. Table 14: Geocentric Correction to Latitudes(Subtract from

Geocentric Correction (KP for Beginners- Part 2, KPE-Zine)12. In the calculation of cuspal positions, these days there is a tendency of preferring Geocentric latitude of a place of birth other than Geographic latitude assuming for better accuracy. "Geocentric Correction" is supported by many SWs like KPAstro 3.0, Astraura, Jyotishya Deepika, Solar Fire. It is to note that the ephemeris gives the Geocentric positions of the planets (i.e. the positions are as seen form the center of the earth), and the charts with the common indication of Geocentric are generally Geocentric for planetary positions only but Geographic for cuspal positions. It is supposed to be the same with the example charts in the KP Readers as it is said that Guruji Sri K.S. Krishnamurti used Geographic latitude only. So it is better to mention "Geocentric Correction", if it is used, to make it clear in comparing with the

commonly used Geographic cuspal positions. 13. In using the "Geocentric Correction", the Geographic latitude of birth place given by the atlas is to be converted into the Geocentric latitude by subtracting the minute for correction given in the Table 14. The minute for correction increases up to around 11 minutes till 45 latitude and then declines. As 1 min roughly covers 1.8 km, this maximum 11 min would cover about 20 km. This difference is not much with compared to the differences in Ayanamsa values to change the sub-lords except in the border line cases. However, the better accuracy is preferable like taking the correct suburb of birth in the case of big cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai. A short article will be presented on different views on which one, Geographic or Geocentric latitude, is more accurate. Table 14: Geocentric Correction to Latitudes(Subtract from

In the Example Chart 2, Geographic latitude 23N is converted into Geocentric latitude 22N52 by subtracting 8min for 23deg as given in Table 25. To get the cuspal position for 22N52 by interpolation from the values

for 22° N and 23° N, the cuspal positions for 22° N are calculated as follows.@gro ups.com, "swami" <swami wrote:>> "swamynathaniyer" swamynathaniyer@ ..... @gro ups.com> converting geographic to geocentric lattitudes> Tuesday, August 26, 2008 1:59 PM > I would like to do this conversion manually.
