[Guest guest]

Dear sanjay guru and learned members of the list, i am going to submit the

answers to the first three lessons

Lesson 1: Astronomical Definitions:

Answers:

ans.1: The ecliptic is the Sun’s path or calledRavimarga. This path, forming a

curved line, once ayear touches the Tropic of Cancer, during summersolstice and

once the tropic of Capricorn, duringwinter solstice and crosses the equator

twice a yearat the time of the equinoxes. Due to the Sun’smovement in the

ecliptic, seasons are changing. Thereare six seasons, each lasting during the

period ofSun’s transit in two signs. In the Uttarayana, Sun’sentrance to

Capricorn to his entrance to end ofGemini, three seasons or ritus occur:

Shishir (whenSun is in Capricorn and Aquarius), Basant (in Piscesand Aries) and

Greeshma (in Taurus and Gemini). Oncethe Sun enters Cancer, the Dhakshinayana

starts and lasts till the end of its presence inSagitarius. The three seasons

are Varsha, Sharad andHemant during the Sun’s stay in Cancer and Leo, Virgoand

Libra and Scorpio and Sagitarius, respectively.

ans).2: When the Sun reaches the southernmost pointduring the winter solstice

(Dec 22); during this time,the parts of the globe beyond the northernmost

pointswill not have Sunrise. Similarly, when the Sun reachesthe northernmost

point during the summer solstice (Mar21st ); during this time, the parts of the

globe beyondthe southernmost points will not have Sunrise. This ismainly due to

the Sun’s extreme declination either tothe south or north.

Q.3: Parasara states that there are two classes ofheavenly bodies: the

non-moving ones, callednakshatras and the moving ones, called the planets

orgrahas.

On both sides of the ecliptic, the sun’s pathway theheavens, there is an

imaginary belt of 9 0 – 9 0 inside which all the planets revolve. This broad

beltof 18 0 is called the Zodiac. This Zodiac has beendivided into 27 equal

parts and each part is known asthe nakshathras or the non-moving bodies. The

planetsor grahas which are 9 in number, including the twochaya grahas and these

are the moving bodies, as theyare moving continuously through the asterisms

ornakshathras in the Zodiac.

The celestial condition – the planetary position andpattern/combination, at

birth influence to determinethe pattern of whole life of human beings

fromconception to death. The planets during their constantmovements sometimes

get activated and sometimes getdepressed depending on their positions in

relation tothe non-moving bodies or nakshathras. The nakshathrasalso serve as

reference points due to their fixednature, to determine the position of the

planets whichare constantly moving. However, both have influence onthe human

beings.

Q.4: The astronomical principles in my own chart:

1. The ascendant or lagna is calculated according tothe Indian standard time the

local longitude andlatitude of my place of birth. since i was born in delhi, i

can take the Indian standard time.2. The positions of houses or rasis,

ascendant andplanets (all moving bodies or points) are given withreference to

the nakshathras and the rasis (non-movingbodies).3. The ayanamsa is used to

convert the chart from theSayana to the Nirayana Zodiac.4. Sun in my chart, is

in scorpio, hence in Dakshinayana.5. jupiter is above sun's ecliptic so is

ketu. all others are below the ecliptic.
