Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Jaya Jagannath, Dear Adrian, One question: I was reading JM Upadesa sutras and in Chapter II (aboutjudging longevity) there is Hora lagna in play. Can somebody point me to thesources of how this Hora lagna is calculated? Maybe I am missing something inthe book, but if so i would appreciated some pointers.Thanks in advance. If you have Pt Sanjay Rath's book please go back to page 19. Hope you will find it.

The weird symbol "" that appears below is "degree". When I cut and = pasted from MSWord into Internet Explorer, degree symbol got changed to . May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha http://www.VedicAstrologer.org -------------------- 5.3 Hora Lagna Hora lagna is at the position of Sun at the time of sunrise. It moves at the rate of one rasi per hora (hour). In the rest of this book, horalagna will be denoted by HL. If sunrise takes place at 6:00 am and Sun is at 6s 447' then, horalagna is at 6s 447' at 6:00 am, at 6s 1947' at 6:30 am,= at 7s 4 47' at 7:00 am, 8s 447' at 8:00 am and so on. Horalagna moves at th= e rate of 1/2 per minute (i.e., 30 per hour). The following method may be used for computing horalagna. (1) Find the time of sunrise and sun's longitude at sunrise. (2) Find the difference between the birthtime (or the event time) and the sunrise time found in (1) above. Convert the difference into minutes. (3) Divide the number by 2. The result is the advancement of horalagna since sunrise, in degrees. (4) Add Sun's longitude at sunrise (in degrees) to the above number. Expunge multiples of 360 and reduce the number to the range 0᠑= 6;–360. (5) This is the longitude of horalagna (HL). Example 8: A gentleman was born at 7:23 pm. Sunrise at his birthplace was at 6:37 am on his birthday. At 6:37 am, Sun was at 2417' in Capricorn.= Let us find HL. (1) 19:23–6:37=12 hr 46 min=12x60 + 46 min = 766 min (2) 766/2=383 (3) Sun's longitude at sunrise is 270+2417'=29417'.= Add 383 to it. The result is 67717'. Subtracting 360, we get 317᠑= 6;17'. So HL is at 1717' in Aquarius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
