saprem namaskar!
i am just beginning in jyotish and i'd like some help analysing my
chart.
my details are below, but i am interested to know the positions of
the grahas in my chart right now and their general effects. can these
be accurately calculated without software - ie. using the facts that
sun traverses one sign/month, moon 1 sign/28 days etc.
i am still trying to understand how to apply the knowledge of dasa,
bhukti, drishti and transits.
