Math Formulas for Nakshatras and Navamshas

[Guest guest]

Dear Members...

 

In case you are inclined to math, here are some formulas pertaining to

calculating nakshatra and navamsha

 

NAVAMSHA:

 

$degrees = (($sign-1)*30)+$degree;

$nav = (floor($degrees/3.33)+1)%12;

 

Take the number of the sign, subtract 1, multiply that by 30 and add

the number of degrees progressed in that sign.... then divide that by

3.333, lose the remainder, add one, divide by 12 and take the modulus.

That shows the number of the navamsha rashi.

 

NAKSHATRA:

 

$degrees = (($sign-1)*30)+$degree;

$nak = floor($degrees/13.33)+1;

 

Nakshatra is the same method almost exactly... subtract one from the

number of a graha's sign. multiply by 30 and add the degrees

progressed within the sign. Now with that number, divide by 13.33.

Lose the remainder and add one. That's the number (1-27) of the

nakshatra.
