Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Sir, I am trying to develop a software program in astrology. I have read books that one has to go through ephermis or panchang to find out which star is rising & which is nakshatra at time of birth. Is there any alternative to this, because I cannot enter for all years. How do I do this. Please help. arv1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 2002 Report Share Posted April 12, 2002 Om Gurave Namah, Hi, I'll tell what I know about this. The planet position data can be obtained either from commercially available databases like the swiss ephemeris at www.astro.com OR the positions can be calculatated by formulae[Polynomials]. There are many different types of formulas giving various accuracies. The Ephemeris Databases are more accurate than the formulae as they contain observed data. Formulas usually give varying degrees of errors depending on how much back in time you want to compute and the planet(like Sun is usually very accurately calculable). After getting the planets positions then you can apply the Ayanamsha and calculate all the upgrahas and divisionals. You can to refer B.V Ramans Manual of astrology and other books for computation. There is more to it like Topocentric(As observed from a given position on earth), Geocentric(As calculated for center of earth same for all places at given time) positions of planets, Parallax(Planets like moon, which are near objects, Seem different by some angles from different parts of globe at the same time). etc. etc. You can ofcourse search in the web for more information.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2002 Report Share Posted April 14, 2002 Thanks Mr.Sanjay for your answer but what I require is the formulas since I am trying to develop software on this or any other method which can be used in software. Thank you arv Tax Center - online filing with TurboTax http://taxes./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
