Adhana Lagna Quiz Answer-Part-I-----> Dhira Ji

January 18, 2004

Dear Dhira Krishna,

Why are you subtracting 15 days from 273? This is a Western astrologymethod, as

described also in Brhat Jataka, called the rule of Hermes. Ihave found it

inaccurate in its calculation, except for the fact that itmay be more or less

than 273 days whether Moon is waxing or waning andvisible or invisible and

so.Here in this example it's not correct, since Rao Nemani has guessed

itcorrect, though I'm amazed at how he arrived at it. It was indeed Dec21st.

Now I'm going to see whether he has day or night correct also and ifthe time of

birth will be correct.

[Hari] This is based on the dictum that girls take about 2 weeks less than boys

to deliver and I found this in a mail by Sanjay Rath on varahamihira archives

where he gave some general rules to deduce the conception chart FROM the natal

chart! So I would be tempted to call it Rath's rules but it is interesting to

see what u gleaned from this! As of now, I dont know the ABC of western

astrology so... Of course the date calculated not correct as I had myself

admitted. Its clear that Raghunada's logic of calculating Dec 21 is flawed and

that it happened to be the correct answer is just a coincidence. PS

Ramanarayanan has shown the correct way and given the answer which is for you

to verify. Interesting to see that he stuck to dwadasamsa principle for

estimating the natal moon instead of cross-verifying with natal moon in kendras

to conception moon. He also didnt use the daystrong adhana lagna to fix the

time. You havent

yet given the sex of the twins but I am tending to agree with Ramanarayanan's

conclusion that it could be a girl (first delivery) and then a boy (second

delivery) because the adhana lagna is posited in a dual lordship sign and Ketu

in Sc lagna would indicate a girl while exalted Mars aspected by Ju would

indicate a boy. I am doubtful about his conclusion regarding the birthtimes

differing by seconds since its normal for twins to have a time difference in

the order of minutes.

Looking forward to your summary as well as your own analysis and a critical

comparison of which methods work or which dont work. I am certain that

Sanjay/Sarajit can give some pointers on how to work out the lunar month/tithi

of birth.

regards

Hari
