Muhurutha, Ayanamsa, Prashna charts - some queries

January 30, 2003

Muhurathas

If one is undertaking a travel, should the muhurtha be taken as the time -

1. When one leaves the house for the airport or

2. Should it be taken when we enter the plane or

3. Should it be taken when the plane takes off.

Hope I am not asking a stupid question.

Ayanamsa

Another question on Ayanamsa, I presume most astrologers use Lahiri ayanamsa, I

am not well versed with astronomy so pls bear with me.

Can someone supply an article or information on - since how many yrs Lahiri

Ayanamsa is being practiced among the astrological community and why Lahiri

ayanamsa is the best one.

If it is possible for some Learned astrologers & Gurus in this list to share

from their experience as to which ayanamsa has given them better success, it

would help a lot.

Prashna Kundali

What is the time of the erection of the prashna chart :-

1. The moment when the astrologer finds time to attend to the query and

erects a chart or

2. The moment when the question was asked by the client or

3. The moment when the astrologer hears the query or sees the letter from

the client.

Thanks in advance. Pls find time and reply to my doubts.

Hi Sush,

Let me have a go at your queries. Before that, let me tell you that it's easy to

ask stupid questions, but not as easy as getting stupid replies. Point is, there

isn't such a thing as a stupid query. Anyone who's been here long enough will

tell you that I've asked more than my share of silly and Level 1 queries, but

nearly all of them have evinced thought-provoking responses and discussions.

About muhurtha, I think that since the moment you walk outta your door is the

time you actually bring to fruition your endeavor, that should be the moment

that must be reckoned. What happens before you actually step out is much like

what happens before you're born (flailing around aimlessly in drink for

eight-odd months), and what happens later (aircraft taking off, cartwheeling or

whatever) are consequences of the auspiciousness of the moment. At the

microscopic level, any moment can be a muhurtha for a future event. As an

example, the muhurtha of the instant of conception could well be a foreboder of

how the pregnancy would last! Personally, for the situation cited by you, I'd

take Option 1.

I don't know much about the ayanamsa thing. I choose Lahiri out of flock

mentality, but I do know a few who vouch by the KP ayanamsa. Interestingly

(this had to happen to me), my chart shows a Leo asc with Lahiri ayanamsa and

Virgo with the KP one

I'd go with your Option 1 again for the prasna chart query. Why? Well, the way I

see it, since it's the astrologer who has to answer the prasna, destiny will

choose to show to the astrologer only such an instant when he's able to give

the correct answer. Even if an astrologer forms a query in his brain about

himself while in a car, the prasna will still be that instant when he's able to

actually construct a chart for it. I'll give you an example. Presume that you're

an astrologer and are chatting online with another of your ilk halfway around

the earth. You ask him a query, construct a chart yourself for reference and

get a reply from him too. The lagna of the prasna will obviously be very

different in your and his charts, yet it'll be what's in his chart that

prevails because you're asking him the query, not asking yourself (if you'd

asked yourself, yours woulda prevailed).

Hope this helps.

Warm regards,

Ramapriya

dear sushmitha and ramapriya,

i can add a bit on ayanamsa. as u know there a two zodiacs--the

sideral and the tropical-- these two keep moving away from each other

in space at a rate that can be mathematically predetermined. so the

astronomers make corrections to the data on planetary positions to

account for the relative movement of zodiacs. westen asrologers make

direct use of this data. but we in india(vedic ) do not take into

account this correction factor hence we subract the correction from

the planetary data provided by astronomers. different people have

come up with different factors. lahiri is the most accepted for the

accuracy in results it provide. kp and raman r also used.

may i add that this explantion is a simplied one .the process is more

complex

thanks
