Q1. Explain the changing of the season and its connection with the

above-mentioned astronomical factors.

Ans) as we know change of season occurs because of movement of

planets around the SUN. The planets, which are close to sun, are

hotter than the other planets, which are comparatively farther from

it. Therefore with the help of latitude and longitude of person's

origin we can picture his position in space with respect to our

origin i.e. SUN. Thus changing of season is mainly because of

movement of our planets around the sun while stars are stationary.

 

Q2. 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.

Ans.) the zodiac used in Vedic astrology is linked with the stars,

and is immovable in comparison to them. On the other hand,

observation confirms that the Sun's yearly cycle on the Ecliptic does

not fully coincide with it's making a complete circle relative to the

stars, but the former is a bit shorter.

This in other words means that the Sun at the time of vernal equinox

will not come back to the same point of the sidereal zodiac, but a

little less than that. This is called precession. And hence on some

days sun either doesn't rise or set above certain parts of the globe.

 

3. Parasara mentions two classes of heavenly bodies: the moving and

non-moving ones. Please explain, what will be the deference between

their roles in the astrological interpretation.

Ans) Parasara mentions two classes of heavenly bodies: the moving and

non-moving ones i.e. planets and stars. With the help of the location

of birth we can know the respective position of stars on us and with

the help of time we can know position of planets and the sun on us.

Thus moving and non-moving bodies of the heavenly bodies have effect

on us. With the help of this we can prepare nakshtra and rasi chakra

of a person concerned.

 

 

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 atitude/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?

Ans) sir I am not able to that .please help me out
