Guest guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Dear Gurus and Listmembers, The following are my answers to the Lesson 1. I will be very grateful if someone can check them and point out my mistakes. Thanks, Shiv Lesson 1 1. Explain the changing of the seasons and its connection with the above mentioned astronomical factors. The changing of the seasons is due to the apparent annual motion of the Sun between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricorn. As the earth is round and moves on a tilted axis, the sun crosses the equator twice (March and September, Vernal and Autumn equinoxes and produces Spring and Fall) and touches the tropics once every year, producing summer in that hemisphere while winter in the other. This yearly movement is divided in two parts Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. 2. There are some days of the year when the Sun either doesn't rise or set above certain parts of the globe. Please explain this phenomenon. During Summers in the Northern Hemisphere due to the the tilt of the earth towards the Sun the days are longer than the nights. As we proceed northwards this difference increases as a point on earth remains exposed to the Sun for a longer time than it remains away from the Sun in a 24 hour rotation of the earth. Therefore at higher latitudes closer to the North Pole there are many days when the place is always exposed to the Sun and so doesn't experience night as that pole is tilted towards the Sun and is unable to get any shadow. Similarly at the same time on the Southern Hemisphere the same latitudes will always have shadow (night) and will not get illuminated by the sun for the same duration. 3. Parasara mentions two classes of heavenly bodies: the moving and non-moving ones. Please explain, what will be the difference between their roles in the astrological interpretation. Parasara mentions that the grahas are moving ones while the rest are not moving. This is why at different times and for different places the grahas will be at diferent positions in the zodiac. In other words they will occupy different rashis and as the rashis occupy houses and so will the grahas. 4. If you are able to construct your own chart, please do it and explain as many astronomical principles from it as you can (terrestrial latitude/longitude, season, Sun's cycle, Sunrise/Sunset etc.). Also try to determine which planets are above and under the horizon in your chart. In which Ayana the Sun is?

The season is Summer, as the Sun is just returning from the Tropic of Cancer. The Sun is 09:27 in the 8th house and the Asc is 17:50. Therefore the Sun from the eastern horizon is (30:00 - 17:50) + 6 * 30:00 + 9:27 or 12:50 + 180:00 + 9:27 or 201:77 and is therefore close to Sunset as Sunset should be around 215:00 from the eastern horizon in that season (26 July). Mo, Sa, Ra, Me, Su and Ju are above the Horizon, while Ve, Ma and Ketu are below the Horizon. Sun is in Uttarayana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Not sure if I read this correctly (get confused with NI charts), but if the Asc is the eastern horizon and in Saggitarius, Moon, Saturn and Rahu are below the horizon and Sun, Jupiter, Venus, Mars are above. Re: Mercury I assume it is just dipped below(?) the western horizon. Am I reading this wrong??

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Om Krishna Guru Hello Sukand In the given chart the Ascendant is at Sg 17:50 so the 180 degrees across will be Ge 17:50. Mercure is still not below, It will dip below approx 12 mins later (assuming 4 min per degree).

What about Upagraha? What is the implication..please clarify. > [shiv:] Parasara mentions that the non-moving ones are Nakshatras (Asterisms) He has named the moving ones as Grahas (bodies that move through Nakshatras). The calculation for the UpaGrahas starts from the Surya's Longitude so they too are moving through the Nakshatras. Lagna is the Rashi that rises in the east at the time and latitude of birth. Rashis and Nakshatras which are fixed, are non moving ones. The implications are that the Lagna or Ascendent gives the Rashi in the first house and so we get the Rashis in all the houses. Then the moving ones (the Navgrahas and the Upagrahas etc.. ) are placed in their respective latitudes and thus occupy different Houses/Rashis. Astrologically this is the most important part which tells us which graha is exalted/debilitated/placed in MoolTrikona/Own House or lording which house and where is it placed and with whom is it conjunt or aspecting. > [s.Rath:] Rest OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
