Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Om Ramaya namaha, Namaste, Ramapriya, your points are well made. Our dicussions belcome interesting becasue some times we vascillate between geocentric and siderial. This is where my dooubt has arisen from.... the sun's appearent motion is from sign to sign, yet the sun only revolves areount its axis and takes 25 earth days for one revolution ( at its equator). So, its faster then the moon!!!( going around the earth) that would change the calculations for the days of the week ( based upon speed). So, the conversations come to " what are we measuring? " It must be the time a Graha transits a rasi. Then the speeds work out to be the following:( Rounded) Time to transit Rasi Time Per rev around Sun Sani 2.5 years 29.5 years Jupiter 1 year 12.5 years Mars 1.5 months 1.5 years Sun 30 days 25 days (around axis) Venus 30 days 224 days Mercury 30 days 88 days Moon 2.5 days 365 days So, if you look above, why then is Sun postioned there... equi- distant between the slowest and the fastest? I am of the belief that it is because the Sun has pure satvic motion not too fast, not too slow. It's at the Center of the Solar System and at the center of our Being as the Natural AtmaKaraka e.g. balanced; so if balance is to occur , it must be in the middle.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Hi Frank, Sorry, but once you've compared times per rev around the sun for other planets, why haven't you put the time earth takes to complete one lap around the sun in sun's second column?? We aren't comparing revs along planetary axes here; if that were so, Moon should've stayed in only one rasi since iirc, it doesn't spin. For sun, you must take one year in the second column because that's the relative speed of motion of the sun around the earth. Earth's year is a standard much like specific gravity being a ratio against the (nearly) unsaid constant weight of water. I'm not so sure astrological discussions vacillate between the geocentric and sidereal. These become clear when you note retrogression in planets; not for real but in relation to earth's own position between the sun and retro planets. Warm regards, Ramapriya hubli. - <frank_in_sandiego <varahamihira > Sunday, January 12, 2003 3:25 AM [sJC: Varahamihira] Re: Varahamihira] Speed of Planets ::> One more comparison > Om Ramaya namaha, > Namaste, > Ramapriya, your points are well made.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Om Rum Rameshvaram Namaha Namsaste Ramapriya, Your points are well made... The conversation becomes one of what we are measuring. Jyotisha's have a discussion on " speed of the Grahas " , yet we do not define what path, velocity, etc. we are measuring, that is: 1. From Rasi to Rasi? 2. Speed around the Sun? 3. From Nakshatra to Nakshatra? 4. Around the center of the galaxy? ( I am not being facetious here, we have made roughly 60 trips around the center of the gaxaxy so far and would suggest, this influences whay Yuga we are in) So , my point is, are we talking relative to the earth were we live? yes... but also, we as beings can think conceptually and allows us to take a Heliocentric ( Sun as the center of our thinking) view. Just as we view the D1 chart through the eyes of other varga charts. So, the conversation of " speed " is one of viewpoint. So if every thing is relative to the earth, we say the Sun takes 12 months for its path around the Zodiac, where in fact it is us taking the trip. ( this answers one of your questions posed in your email). The reason why I have compared the sun to a 25 day trip around itself ( which is a great conversation on spirituality and Ganeshas trip circumnavigating around his Father Shiva, as his brother takes off to go arund the universe, but we can leave this for a later time) is , the converation of SPEED... we say that the sun moves slower the Mars, Venus and the Moon. Yet Surya does not " move " at all, unless we consider the trip around himself. I will leave this here, and greeatly appreciate your input on this matter.
