re: Ayanamsha correction

[Guest guest]

Dear learned Members,

I am a student of Astrology. I have learned to cast a chart for a

native as per directions given in Lahiri Ephemeris book. In the book

it is mentioned that after calculating the ascendant one should

subtract the Ayanamsha for the birth year.

Now when I read further, I have found that each group as KP, western,

etc. use different Ayanamsha. I have understood to a certain extent

that this is because each of these group think that the fixed zodiac

and the vernal equinox point were same as on 285 A.D.(Lahiri), and

others have gone on to assume it to be 386 A.D. also the precision

varies from 19 to 24 degrees.

My doubt is if one has to cast a chart according to KP or others, what

will be the method?

I hope I have been able to get it across to you what my doubt is?

Thanks

Prabha

Dear Prabha,

 

When you have learnt to cast the chart through Lahiris,

then let us be faithful towards it for the time being

till you realise the implications of the ayanamshas,and

wish to make a change. For all practical purposes, the

Lahiris ayanamsha is perfect for one to use.You would

of course find the ayanamsha list for all the years,

in the Tables of Ascendants published by the

Lahiris, which book is to be kept till Life, with us.

 

You must first concentrate on the method used by Lahiris,

and not touch any other book or method, till you

perfect the same, otherwise it would only

lead to confusions and nothing else. In Lahiris books,

there is no mention of Kp, therefore it is obvious that

you have been reading other books.To become really good

at the Mathematical part, fist cast at least 60-80

charts ( 1 per day) check your calculations

through the PC Software, and then move to other methods.

If you had been my student I would have asked you to

prepare at least 365 charts, before moving to any other

method, if you wish to attain mastery.

 

best wishes on your path of studies,

 

regards,

Bhaskar.
