Birthdata source? (A challenge to Vedic astrology)

I really don't know the authenticity of the birth data. If indeed he was born in

Ohio, I think the lagna would change. For all we know birth time could have been

adjusted or set to match his personality using the wrong coordinates, but Virgo

lagna looks reasonable after reading your analysis.

[vedic astrology] Birthdata source? (Re: A challenge to Vedic astrology)

Namaste Ravi,

 

> Well this chart belongs to the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer from Milwaukee

 

> Oh Yeah thanks Vikrant your email actually triggered by memory by

> mentioning that the latitude and longitude were of Milwaukee, WI.

 

Out of curiosity, I went to www.biography.com and looked up Jeffrey Dahmer's biography. It says

 

"Dahmer was born and raised in Bath Township, Ohio, a middle-class suburb of Akron."

 

You say that the original co-ordinates given by Ralf are of Milwaukee. Bath and

Akron are reasonably far from Milwaukee.

 

This makes me wonder. Congratulations to Satya and me aside (thanks BTW), is the

birthdata correct in the first place? What is the source of the birthdata?

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Correct readings do not necessarily confirm the accuracy of the birthdata or the

methods used. It depends on the depth and elaborateness of the readings given.

 

Ralf mentioned that this chart belonged to a "famous/infamous" person. I don't

know about others, but, honestly speaking, *I* latched onto that "infamous"

word. Unless this guy was really infamous, Ralf was unlikely to have mentioned

it specifically. So I was kind of expecting an infamous person. When you think

of infamous people, there are just a handful of possibilities. The rasi chart

made good sense and all the afflictions to Venus in several charts made the

guess easy (which was not too difficult to start with, due to the limited

number of possibilities to consider).

 

Thus, rationally speaking, the birthdata need not be accurate because a reading

was correct. There may be a few other combinations of lagna in divisional

charts, for which I would've probably guessed the same thing. Our methods are

not too perfect.

 

Thus, we should not get carried away by a few readings. Had I timed some

important events accurately, it's a different story. That would've kind of

proved the birthdata.

 

I wonder where Ralf got the data from. If it is from a source like Lois Rodden,

what reliability rating did the birthdata get?
