Need your help with timing of birth confusion

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

Need your help with timing of birth:

 

If someone was born at 2:40 AM on April 11th, 1936 in Bengal, India.

According to Indian Panchang at that time the date did not change

till 6am next day morning. I have an old horoscope of this person

that was done 50 years back and the date of birth was 2:40 April 10

since in 1936 in Bengal, India- people used bengal time insted of

Indian standard time and also the day didn't change till next day 6

am.

I was told by some astrologers from bengal that the calculations in

panchangs at that time (in 1936)were also done assuming that day

didn't change till next day 6 am morning.

In JHL I tried to use 2:40AM April 11th, 1936 but it is giving

different calculation then the old horoscope I have in posession, JHL

calculation matches with the old horoscope if I use April 10th insted.

 

I am confused, why should I use 10th not 11th if that person was

really born at 2:40AM 11th April according to present timing rules

(date changes after 12midnight)?

Thanks

Dear Chandan!

 

The timining for the start of the day which is being followed at present is

quite arbitrary and doesn't have any astronomical basis.

 

The true basis for start of a day is sunrise or when the lagna meets the sun.

Even if it is taken as 6 AM LMT, then also it makes sense, as at 12 PM LMT, sun

is exactly on the meridian and 6 AM is 6 hours before it. Dividing the day in

four parts of 6 hours each, it is logical to consider 6 AM LMT to be day start,

6 PM LMT to be day end or night start.

 

According to this if the birth is after 00:00 and before sunrise, then the birth

is considered to have occured on the previous day, as the next day only start at

Sunrise (or 6:00 AM).

 

why did maharshis used birth time as elapsed from Sunrise or Sunset... What does

that mean?

 

Hope this helps

Anjanya,

Thank you for your reply and I do agree with you but I am still not

sure : If at present we use next day after midnight to cast a

horoscope then in old time also we should use the same method not 6AM

for change of day because day change at 12 am and 6am for sure is

going to give different calculation.
