Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 sir I want to know the calculations or mathematical formulaes or the way to find the position of the plaents in the rasi chakra eg. in 1999 the god saturn was in Mesha, such a way now the lord jupiter in Leo. how to find the positions of the planets and the time of retrogations.. without seeing panchanka, i want to find the positions.. Is there any formulae or calculations behind this.. kindly help me in this regard... Rishi mercurymgl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 You have the following courses to adopt: Books by Michael Erlewine (A manual of programming for astrologers; Matrix publications; also by Duffett-Smith Astrological calculations in Basic (earlier version for calculators) There may be freeware routines available on the net from these books also those written by John Meeus These are not directly executable in today's environment of XP and Windows etc. but if you really are prepared to work hard, you will be able to make sense soon -- I know I did, with hardly any understanding of math, spherical trigonometry, BASIC or machine language many many years ago. You may want to try to look for these keywords and Swiss Ephemeris and Jet Propulsion Lab algorithms on the web. There are also simpler ways if you are just interested in calculating positions and not understanding how they are calculated. There is the method of using proportional logarithms and ephemeris that many of us used in the precomputer era. Two books that might help would be the one by Usha-Sashi and one by Kapoor (I have seen the former but not the later but heard a lot about it). So you see, there are many many resources available right on the net. I am actually surprised that anyone even asks these questions on fora when altavista.com and google.com and netscape search engines would bring in overwhelming amounts of information on all aspects of astrology :-) Happy hunting!
