Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Hello KAS gurus, Hope this finds you all well. Firstly thanks to Krushna ji for this refined system of KAS. I am a begginer in the feild of astrology currently trying to learn the KAS system. The software I use for casting charts is the free version of Jagannatha Hora. Going through the material at Krushna ji's site I found that the timing of events is very sensitive to the assumptions used for casting the charts. I would appreciate it if someone could clarify the preferences (or point me to it if already published somewhere) that I would need to set on Jagannatha Hora. The main choices where I am not clear are as given below: 1) Planet Calculation Options a) Should planet positions be Geocentric (as calculated with respect to the center of the earth) OR Topocentric (as calculated with respect to the actual place of birth) b) Should planet positions be True (where the planet really is) OR Apparent (where the planet appears to be) c) Should I use Mean Nodes (always retrograde) OR True Nodes (not retrograde) 2) How should sunrise be defined? The center of sun's disk is truly on the eastern horizon OR The tip of sun's disk is truly on the eastern horizon OR The tip of sun's disk appears to be on the eastern horizon 3) In the ashtakavarga calculations should one use Parashara's definitions OR Varamihira's definitions 4) How long should the year be defined as for getting the dasa periods? 365.25 days (as indicated in the calculation of KAS ayanamsa) OR 360 days If somebody has been using the Jagannatha Hora then please could you publish the entire settings as used for KAS. There are a lot of other parameters which I do not understand as of yet. But I am really interested in starting with the KAS since it addresses a key point that any beginner faces - why the text book examples need not happen in real life. Thanks and regards Mohnish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2007 Report Share Posted August 4, 2007 Dear Monish, There is no s/w that gives all the calculations that we use in KAS and that was the reason we decided to create our own program. You can download the copy which is free of cost with everything as per the teachings of Krushnaji. That can be downloaded from Donna's site at http://krushna.sageasita.com There are also lessons there and visuals that will help u learn KAS. Good luck, Cheers !!!
