Dear RR,

 

Thank you. Yours is the best post of this entire

exhausting thread. There have been at least

THREE sources cited that indicated WAR TIME

in India during the period of this person's birth

(from software sources or Doane's book), and

then one or two others saying there was no war

time and citing *no* sources whatsoever (unless

I've missed them). There is simply no substitute

for doing the necessary leg work, including

picking up the phone, or writing to the hospital

or hall of records, or researching the time changes

at the library through the newspaper archives for

those years.

 

Time change books and such resources as

Astrodienst are generally quite accurate, but

*not* always. I will cite you an outstanding

example of one of my clients born in one of

the more confusing time zone states in the

US--Kentucky. Not only is this state confusing

when it comes to what time zone it was under,

but also when daylight savings was in effect.

According to the particular town this person

was born in, Astrodienst gives CST, but that

turned out to be completely wrong when my

client personally researched the time change

notifications for her place at her local library.

There it was in black and white as the newspaper

listed EDT contrary to all the known time change

information from all the so-called official sources,

and her chart came into perfect alignment when

the proper time zone was applied. Her efforts saved

me HOURS of work from tedious or needless

speculations about her lagna. If a client is truly

motivated to have an accurate chart, it's up to

THEM to do this work because there are not

enough hours in the day for most astrologers

to research incomplete birth information throughout

the entire world. In this instance, it was her own

dedicated leg-work that made the difference, and

sometimes these extra efforts are absolutely

imperative to verify the official time zone or

daylight savings in effect.

 

I think what I miss most in the astrology community

--and the situation has gotten worse with the reliance

on computers to do one's thinking--is that one-pointed

scientific rigor has been replaced by a complacent mental

laziness. What then takes place are these endless

speculative debates about what ascendant is correct,

and the plethora of rationalizations in support of either

one, seemingly chosen on planetary-placement descriptions

or personality factors alone. It is only when the official

documentary sources are thoroughly exhausted that these

kind of speculative debates are justified, in my opinion,

and worth the valuable time within the community of

astrologers. When these documentary sources have been

rigorously investigated and nothing turns up--okay. Then

the next step is a thorough rectification based upon more

than one or two events using a combination of dasha *and*

transits rather than relying on personality factors alone In

this case, this kind of time zone investigation has not been

completed with accurate sources cited saying there was

no war time in effect and yet all this time in discussion

down the drain over basically nothing. Speaking as an

outsider, I have never seen the world of Indian astrology

--the greatest astrology in the world!--in such careless

disarray, and I repeatedly lament this sorry state of

affairs as the intellectual sloppiness increases year after

year.

 

I would also say that when a person says their chart was

rectified...Well, how was it rectified? What were the

astrologer's resources? How much time did they spend

on it? How many events did they use? What techniques

did they use? Did they check the transits too, or just the

operating periods? What was the expertise and experience

of the astrologer? This is another area where the lack of

scientific rigor has lowered the standards of this beautiful

science and art. What I particularly love is when someone

says something like, "Well, I have little experience on the

subject, but I think the right answer is such and such," and

no argument is even presented. This is not what I would

cite as scientific knowledge or intellectual rigor.

 

In any event, thanks again for bringing out the need for

further research and the citing of sources.

 

Sincerely, Haizen Paige

Dear Haizen,

 

I agree with you that the accuracy of the seed information must be

carried out. I am not very sure if documentation is easy to retrieve

if the birth took place in a smaller town in India or even a village.

Even though watches and clocks existed, there were probably not that

many sources available for calibrating those. The railway station

clock probably was the most accurate but how often was that corrected

back in the days of mechanical clocks which tended to vary over the

day itself as the clockwork spring wound down. This is further

complicated by the somewhat unclear and not well-documented records.

Birth charts were in many cases prepared soon after birth so the

epoch was recorded -- however in many of those horoscopes the epoch

was recorded not as clock time but as'duration from sunrise' or ishta

(in ghatis and vighatis. Since the moment or time of sunrise was not

recorded in many charts that I studied of older people, if we back-

calculate using modern sunrise times, the time comes out to be

several minutes to many minutes off. This causes problems obviously.

 

This much variation even without taking into consideration what

exactly should be considered the moment of birth, different

ayanamshas and so on and so forth. Many individuals although

interested in astrology often report times quite carelessly and with

rounding up or down. Upon requestioning, other times emerge, and many

of the times are routinely doctored by astrologers but the individual

does not report that in the first go. For any serious reading done on

an indian birth, it is wise to go into a bit of scrutiny and not take

just the time that was offered at first. Particularly if the

birthdata is from days prior to 50s.

 

More to worry about, I suppose ...!
