basics? ('newbie' calling!)

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

 

I posted this question before but don't know if anyone's seen it. Can

anyone tell me what is the *ayanamsa* used for calculating a sidereal

astrology chart (w/computer), and what is it called (is 'ayanamsa' an

exclusively Vedic astrology term)? I use WinStar programs which offer

various options on calculating sidereal charts - Fagan/Bradley, Krisnamurti,

DeLuce, Raman, etc. Which one of these are mostly used? I'd appreciate if

someone could tell me more about this.

 

Also, I'd like to know if astrological symbology (planets and signs) is the

same for sidereal as for tropical astrology. I'm fully aware that these

are " newbie " questions, but since no one is offering the basics, I have to

ask. (No laughing, please!)

 

Love and Light,

Dubie
