Use of lunar parallax

[Guest guest]

Dear list members,

Could any list members please advise me as to their opinions, or if

possible of the different points of view for and against, the use of

the lunar parallax (local topocentric position as opposed to

standard " centre of the earth " geocentric position) for calculation

of periods. I find it often seems to work better than geocentric

(non-parallax), and it also appeals to me in that it makes each Moon

position (and hence dasha dates) more individualised for a

particular birthplace and time. It sometimes seem to make the

application of Krushna's rules simpler, with less recourse to

complicated worksheet points or exceptions.

I also note that in studies of Vedic astronomy such as attempts to

date the Mahabharata war through eclipse records as recorded in that

text, the parallax is taken into account (as a solar eclipse is, by

definition, only visible from certain places because of lunar

parallax). For example, use of parallax is implicit in " Mahabharata

eclipse " by Dr Balakrishna, on

http://www.vedicastronomy.net/mahabharatha.htm

So use of parallax appeals to me for these reasons, but I would very

much like to have your opinions as to its astrological

appropriateness, and partilcularly with respect to Krushna's system,

before researching further.

Many thanks for any help

Dear Graham,

 

For the LEAST I know about Vedic Astrology and Krushna KAS (and it is rather

really insignificant), I feel we should not use parallax. When I tried it, I

could not see any major difference... for instance, when my parents were

dead (events which I have no " power " on, if any). My birth time seems

" rather " precise... I also feel we should use " sub-buhtki " (third) level as

NK or FK significators, but cannot find systematic evidence for this,

although I have reason to believe so... I hope Krushna *will* enlighten us

on this question (please Kruhsna: do so, if you have any hindsight on this

third level of dasha!!),

François

Birth: 10 feb 1963, 3h52, Montreal (Quebec) 73w34, 45n34, TZ 5h W

ASC:

Date of mother's death: 24 may 1975

Date of father's death: 6 march 2004.

Using KAS, these date appear rather " precise " ...

Any advice on your part, will be appreciated.

Until now, KAS ayanamsha and system suit me fine ;-)

Present job was found on jan 29, 1989 (Ketu seems shamdharmi to Saturn's 6th

and 10th)

And this is good also, when I try what I call my " Chitra Paksha Polar

Longitude ayanamsha " (Surya Siddantha " deduced " ), which is actually 3'

different Krushna's research ( Krushna's one is then really the one to be

used!!!). So I found it useless to try to deduce any other ayanamsha, since

KAS now is proven to be direct in line with Surya Siddantha's writtings and

that Krushna's tradition prove so. This was my conclusion. However, if one

wants to use a " modern " precession rate, than he has to settle his software

to jan 19, 347, as 0° ayan. However, THIS IS NOT Krushna's ayanamsha AND is

NOT as PRECISE and Krushna's. Kruhsna's tradition is REALLY A TRADITIONAL

(HINDU ASTRONOMICALLY) BASED ayanamsha. Now I am sure of this!!!

 

A Tropical astrologer, Gerard Laffont, rectified my birth time to 3h49,

given these data, using Gouchon's primary direction with Aureas software.

Dear Graham,

 

In KAS the degree of moon does not change. That is based on KAY. We

do not use parallex of moon that way.

 

This phenemon does not have anything to do with timing of event per

say as degree of moon does not change so it does not impact the

dashas.

 

All this is covered in KAS but that portion is not yet taught on

this list as we are dealing specifically with " Timing of Event " that

is our focus.

 

KAS for timing of events is used exactly in the way its taught, i.e.

by casting the WS and the degree of moon based on KAY gives us the

proper start and end of Dahsas. KAY is important as it gives proper

degree of planets and hence nadis.

 

Hope that helps,

Cheers !!!

Dear Ash and François,

Thanks you for giving me your views, and the KAS view, on this

subject.

Best wishes
