Lambda Scorpii and ayanamsha

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

Although I find this theory very interesting (dasa apparently won't

work however), I was wondering if we know where the Babylonians

located this star... That is, at the end of Scorpio or right at 0°

Sagittarius?

 

Is there a way to know it?

Hello Francose,

 

There very likely was no exact fixed location (exact degree and minute) for

lamda Scorpio or any other star. Scholars generally give examples of a

'range' of positions for a star. You can see some of these examples here:

Click on 'The Zodiac in Mesopotamia.'

 

The author of the site you mentioned above has his own pet theories of zero

Sagittarius (Moola) the 'root.' This doesn't necessarily mean that 'root'

is the root of the zodiac. I have seen Sri Chandra Hari's articles in

Raman's Astrological Magazine. He's convinced his theory is correct, but it

appears that few astrologers agree with him.

Hi!

 

In Medical Astrology, Mirfak of Scorpio is a star of the prostate...

(When Mars is in conjunction with this star and/or the Lagna is in

conjunction with Venus in another sign, it's dangerous for the

prostate, or ovary for women with Graffias star of Scorpio...).

Well, thank you for the reference to this paper. With another one Alois

Treindl gave me on news:alt.astrology.moderated,

<http://www.astro.com/swisseph/swisseph.htm#_Toc6813679>, which I already

saved on disk, I know now I am loosing my time on this issue and I sure will

stop to search for any " precise " beginning to the sidereal zodiac and begin

to rely on experienced astrologers (Steven's and yours, for instance).

With my best regards,

Francois,

 

We'll all be studying this problem for a long time, and we'll eventually

have to work it out for ourselves. Unfortunately history can't give us a

precise answer. Every side (opinion, ayanamsa, etc.) has a good story!

We'll need lots of data before we can move toward a conclusion. Your own

experience and insight will be just as important as everyone else's.
