Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Dear list members, Could any experienced member please advise me as to their opinion, or if possible of the different points of view for and against, the use of the lunar parallax (topocentric position as regards Moon, particularly for calculation of periods). I find it seems to work better than geocentric (non-parallax), and it also appeals to me in that it makes each Moon position (and hence dasha dates) more individualised for a particular birthplace and time. I also note that in studies of Vedic astronomy such as attempts to date the Mahabharata war through eclipse records as recorded in that text, the parallax is taken into account (as a solar eclipse is, by definition, only visible from certain places because of lunar parallax). For example, use of parallax is implicit in "Mahabharata eclipse" by Dr Balakrishna, on http://www.vedicastronomy.net/mahabharatha.htm So use of parallax appeals to me for these reasons, but I would very much like to have your opinions as to its astrological appropriateness before researching further. Many thanks for any help Graham Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
