Lunar parallax (topocentric option)

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
