Introduction Libra Suns

[Guest guest]

Hello Julia,

 

You mentioned that you have a special interest in comparitive

ayanamsas. I'm in the middle of a statistical study of 23 ayanamsas

and their application to the moon in the nakshatras. I'm using the

published data of Michele Gauquelin. I won't publish the study until

it's completed but if you e-mail me directly I'd be happy to exchange

information on the subject with you.

 

You also mention that you feel a 28-fold mansion scheme seems to work

better than the 27. You might be interested in a followup article

called " The Sun in the Lunar Mansions " , which was published back in

1980 in Charles Jayne's Cosmocology Bulletin. It seems to support your

theory. You can find it here:

In any case, welcome to the group!
