I don't know how they do the computations. If I convert a Tropical chart by hand, I have a printed Krishnamaurti table. I've noticed that the number of seconds can vary year by year from the preceiding year. The seconds might be 1, 2, 3, or more. Hello Therese, and group ;-) If you use the Krishnamurti ayanamsha, then you use one that was 0° january 1, 291 and that has a fixed rate of precession of 50.2388475 " per year (today, may 6, 2004, it is 23°54'36.63 " ). However, other ayanamsha begin on other dates and have different precession rates. A beginner just goes nuts not knowing which one to use!... Actually I am tempted to use an ayanamsha that fixes Spica at 0° Libra for all charts, since a paper on Swiss Ephemeris website tells us that ancient chart worked better with Spica at 0°. It is easy for me to calculate it with Astrolog, which I use regularly. See: <http://www.astro.com/swisseph/swisseph.htm#_Toc6813684> If you use Krishnamurti Paddhati and ayanamsha, do you find the system efficient with subs? Which means that its ayanamsha would be better than Lahiri or Fagan-Bradley... If it does not work properly, is there a way to find the " right " ayanamsha and precession rate, or do we have to accept to work with an approximate sidereal zodiac? If the answer is the latter part of my question, I feel that any astrologer may work with anything that suits his mind... -- François Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
