Nisheka Lagna

[Guest guest]

Pranaam,I would appreciate any help that members may give me in regards to calculating the Nisheka Lagna according to Parashara's instructions in chap. 4 of the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra."O excellent of the sages, explained now is a step to arrive at the Nisheka Lagna when the natal ascendant is known. Note the angular distance between Saturn and Mandi (Gulika). Add this to the difference between the ascendant lagna bhava (Madhya or cusp) and the 9th bhava (cusp). The resultant product in Rasis, degrees, etc. will represent the months, days, etc. that elapsed between Nisheka and birth. At birth if the ascendant lord is in the invisible half (i.e. from ascendental cusp to descendental cusp) add the degrees etc. the Moon moved in the particular Rasi occupied by her to the above-mentioned product. Then the ascendant at Nisheka can be worked out and the good and bad experienced by the native in the womb can be guessed. One can also guess, with the help of the Nisheka lagna, effects like longevity, death, etc. of the parents."Notes: Nisheka/Adhana Lagna = Date of birth and time minus "X", where "X" is obtained thus = A+B+CNow A, B, and C are explained. "A" is the angular distance between Saturn and Gulika at birth. "B" is the distance between the cusp of the ascendant and that of the 9th House counted in a direct order (i.e. via 4th and 7th cusps). "C" is required if the ascendant lord is in the invisible half (i.e. ascendant and descendant intersected by the nadir). Otherwise, "C" is not required.~BPHS chap. 4 sloka 25-30 notes
