Topographic or Geocentric - which is best?

[Guest guest]

Hello ,

Wondered if anyone has an opinion on a simple setting: Geographic or

Topograhic setting for calculating a Rasi Chart.

 

Example: Topographic: Chandra in D1 is at 15Ta47

Geographic setting Chandra is at 16Ta33.

 

Any opinions on the center of the earth calculation vs. Topographic

Or the birth location on the earth's surface?

Dear Frank,

 

The planet appears in different positions

when viewed from different positions of earth. However it is said that when

viewed from any point of earth, the position of the planet remains the same, in

some specific longitude in a Rasi and constellation,

which can only happen when we take the geocentric position.

 

Thus if it said the a planet, say Jupiter has

changed sign; such statement can only be valid for all denizens of earth if we

take the geocentric positions, otherwise for different parts of the world the

date and time would differ for such transition.

 

Guess I made my point clear.

 

Best Wishes

Sarajit
