Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Dear Hari Malla, In fact sidereal sign system was conceived before 2000B.C. There after Tropical signs were named similar to sidereal signs. Kindly remember ,in ancient past Sages conceived only six seasonal sectors and not twelve. They were observing 5year yuga containing 62 repeat 62 lunar months and yuga system is corrected every 19 years so that there is co-relation in solar year and Lunar thithis. you will observe that after 19 years same thithi occurs on the same date. As tropical signs do not have any permanent link with starts , the question of naming them after the names of stars does not arise to begin with. In India transit of planets and lunar months are always co-related to Naksharas. When natal astrology became popular , only then sidereal signs also become popular. At that time Tropical signs were nonexistent. About 2000BC , TROPICAL SIGNS WERE COME IN EXISTENCE.Prior to that, Sages were only aware transit of Equinoxes and Solstices in the back ground of stars.
