Guest guest Posted August 26, 2001 Report Share Posted August 26, 2001 Western astrology is based on the SAYANA (TROPICAL)system. Hindoo astrology is based on the NIRAYAN (SIDERIAL)system. In the Nirayan the referencee is a fixed position of the Star Revati. The diffrence between this fixed position, and the present postion of the Axis of the earth, is known as the Ayanamsa. This is about 23 deg 46 min now. The Nirayan longitudes are calculted after deducting this aynanmsa for the Longitudes of the Sayana System. The Nirayan system is better, because the predictions over the ages are based on the relative postion to a fixed point of reference, where as in the Sayana, the postions vary with the years. The Nirayan system of coordinates is not helpful direct observational confirmation. For example, the Sun is shown in the Capricorn on 22/23 Dec. every year. In the Nirayan system the same entry of Sun in Capricorn is now a days 14/15 th Jan. As far as predictions are concerned, the views of each astrologer are different, based on his/her experience Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Messenger http://phonecard./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
