DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME

[Guest guest]

Respected Bhatia Ji,

 

Thank you for posting your article on DST and foreign births. While

informative, I don't think it yet clears up some of the confusion

that many of us foreign-borns have.

 

For instance, you have placed Venus+Rahu in the lagna using the

example cited (September 27, 1976 21:45 TORONTO, CAN), but using

several software programs including Parashara's and online

calculators, the planet formation comes out as follows:

 

Jupiter - 1

Saturn - 3

Me/Ma/Su- 5

Ve/Ra - 6

Mo - 7

Ke - 12

 

This is because it is Taurus ascendant. Even if we take the 1 hour

off of the 21:45pm time, then we are left with Taurus ascendant

also, which would in both cases place Jupiter in lagna.

 

This issue is very important to understand, so much so that I

visited Pandit Som Dutt Ji in Toronto to get a kundli made, and

while he first made it according to the planet formation listed,

during the process he changed it to Gemini rising with Me/Ma/Sun in

lagna.

 

The planets that were in formation in India's skies were not the

ones a native is born under in his foreign abode. The calculations

of the Lal Kitab are all based on the planets exactly at the time of

birth. If we say that only IST is relevant, then the items mentioned

in the Lal Kitab(houses, kinds of trees, effects on neighbors, power

outages during birth) should only be in effect in India (i.e: The

native's ancestor's/parents home).

 

Do you see the paradox we are facing? One the one hand, we say that

Lal Kitab is universal in its application, but then we say that

everything has to be engineered back to IST. I have checked the

planet placements several times, and each time, the planets in the

sky in India are NOT the same ones present over North America at the

exact time of birth.

 

This is not a negative post in any way, for I am indebted to you for

the time and effort you have placed in bringing this issue to light

with your article. What I am saying is that the impacts of Lal Kitab

should be applied universally based on the planets at place of birth.

 

I have taken your example and the native at hand does not exhibit

any of the qualities mentioned with the planetary formation. Rather,

he still exhibits the qualities of the planets I have mentioned

above.

 

Your seniority in this issue is much appreciated - do you have any

further thoughts based on my post?

 

Respectfully,

Iqbal
