jyotisa [jyotisa ] On Behalf Of Ramapriya DSaturday, July 16, 2005 6:54 AMjyotisa Subject: JH settings

 

Dear colleagues,

 

Since we're generally discussing nadiamshas where as much as a breath can make a difference, can we make sure that we're all looking at charts with the same settings in JH? Mine are:

 

Planetary reference: Topocentric

Planetary positions: True

Nodes: Mean

Ayanamsa: Lahiri

Hora progression: from sunrise

 

Sunrise: When the tip of the Sun's disk is truly on the eastern horizon

 

Respects,

 

Ramapriya

Thanks, Sanjay... I was actually expecting you to have a go over the sunrise setting not being at the center of the disk :o)

 

Though there are good known reasons for choosing geocentric, why not topo? And are you aware of any classical reference that gives a particular point in the sky that's regarded as the commencement of Aswini?

 

Respects,

Dear Sanjay,

 

So JH setting for Sunrise " When the tip of the Sun's disk is truly on the

eastern horizon " should be used for calculation of vighati graha and ardha

nadiamsa, not the center of the Sun's disk? Is this correct? Should this

setting

be used for all calculations in JH, or only to obtain sunrise/sunset time for

calculating vighati graha?

 

If Time of Sunrise is " when the tip of the Sun's disk is truly on the eastern

horizon " , and not the center of the Sun's disk, then the calculations in my

last post are incorrect. Time of Sunset based on the tip of the Sun's disk was

18:49:08 (instead of 18:48:31 for the center of the Sun's disk).

 

Calculations are now as follows:

Sunset: 18:49:08 Birth Time: 1:43 AM

6 hrs, 53 min, 52 sec = 6.897777778

6.897777778 x 150 = 1034.666667

1034.666667 divided by 9 = 114.962963

Remainder: 0.962963 x 9 = 8.666666703

8.666666703 rounds up to 9.

Graha is Ketu.

 

Using the tip of the Sun's disk instead of the center of the Sun's disk

changes the vighati graha from Moon to Ketu. Big difference for a change of

only

37 seconds! Which of these is correct?

 

Thanks for your help in clarifying this.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Susan

Dear Sanjay,

 

I notice in JH that there is also a third option for calculating Time of

Sunrise: " The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon " . This

seems to be the option for determining the Time of Sunrise/Sunset that you used

in the vighati graha examples in the Ardha Nadiamsa paper. Is this the

sunrise calculation that you feel is most accurate and that should be used for

calculating the vighati graha?

 

In the example in my previous posts, this changes the Time of Sunset to

18:50:26 and changes the vighati graha to Venus.

 

Thanks for your patience in answering my questions.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Susan

Dear Susan,

 

That's the option that Sanjay prefers: "The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon" . Unfortunately, it isn't working right in the current version of JHora. So for now we have to use: "When the tip of the Sun's disk is truly on the eastern horizon" until it is fixed.

Dear Pierre,

 

Sanjay's version of the program is working correctly, but the new version the rest of us have is not. iI you use the "appears to be on the eastern horizon " with JHora 6.0, you will get calculations that are really off. We've been through this already, that's how I know. Please check the version you have and see if it is so. Maybe the older versions don't have this problem.

 

Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Dear Susan, dear WillaLook at Sanjay's chart in his paper on Ardha Nadiamsa where the sunrise is at 5:29:12 (though not used in calculation).Now, with JHora option "When the tip of the Sun's disk is truly..." you will get 5:31:44.So you'd better to use the option Sanjay prefers.Kind regards,Pierrejyotisa , "Willa Keizer, C.C.H." <willa@h...> wrote:> Dear Susan,> > That's the option that Sanjay prefers: "The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon" .

Dear Willa and Pierre,

 

I have been using JH 6.0. Sunset times given for this example are:

18:50:26 for " The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon " ,

18:49:08 for " The tip of the Sun's disk is Truly on the eastern horizon " ,

and 18:48:31 for " The Center of the Sun's disk is truly on the eastern

horizon " .

 

How do I know whether the sunset time for " The tip of the Sun's disk Appears

to be on the eastern horizon " is accurate or not? Willa, does the option in

JH 6.0 just not work, or does it give an inaccurate time?

 

I have JH 7.02, but had not installed it yet. So, Pierre, this option is

working okay in JH 7.02? I am glad to hear it. I will install it and see if

the

sunset times given are the same as in JH 6.0. I assume it will install

separately and will not overwrite 6.0. Am I right?

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Best Wishes,

 

Susan

<< You could see if you get the same result with 6.0 and 7.2-- that would be

interesting! >>

________

 

Dear Willa,

 

Here are the results for sunrise/sunset times in JH 6.0 and JH 7.02:

 

Sunset times are identical for all 3 options in JH 6.0 and JH 7.02.

" The Center of the Sun's disk is truly on the eastern horizon " gives

identical sunrise times in JH 6.0 and JH 7.02.

The only differences between the two versions were in sunrise times given for

the other two options, which differed by only one second.

" The tip of the Sun's disk Truly on the eastern horizon " :

JH 6.0 gave sunrise at 6:47:47.

JH 7.02 gave sunrise at 6:47:46.

" The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon " :

JH 6.0 gave sunrise at 6:44:56.

JH 7.02 gave sunrise at 6:44:55.

So there was a difference of only one second in these two settings between

the two versions, with JH 6.0 giving sunrise times one second later than JH

7.02.

 

Do you remember what Narasimha said was the problem with the setting for " The

tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern horizon " ?

 

I checked the sunrise/sunset times in the Ardha Nadiamsa article in my JH 6.0

software using " The tip of the Sun's disk Appears to be on the eastern

horizon " setting, and got the same sunrise/sunset times as the article. JH 7.02

gave the same time for sunset and one second earlier for sunrise. Have you

checked the calculations in your JH version against the sunrise/sunset times

given

in the article? Are they different?

 

Also, check in JH under the Help menu and select " About Jagannatha Hora " .

This should tell you which version you are running and which version you are

having the problem in. I would be interested to know what you find out. If you

find Narasimha's email on this issue, please post it. Thanks! :-)

 

Best Wishes,

 

Susan

Hi Susan,

 

I'm pretty sure it was actually 7.2 that was not working right for me. It still says 6.0 on my desktop, hence my error in saying it was 6.0. Narasimha did send out something suggesting we use the other options in the meantime until it is corrected. Will dig for this email when I have time.

 

 

You could see if you get the same result with 6.0 and 7.2-- that would be interesting!

Narasimha P.V.R. Rao [pvr] Tuesday, June 21, 2005 8:48 PMSanjay Rath; Youry; vedic astrology Cc: dieterSubject: Re: Jhora 7.02 vs Swiss Ephemeris

 

Namaste Youry,

 

As the author of "Jagannatha Hora" software, I want to confirm that Dieter Koch is right. Swiss Ephemeris is correct and Jagannatha Hora is incorrect here. Though two softwares (Jagannatha Hora and Parasara's Light) give the same time with option A and only Swiss Ephemeris differs, it is the latter that is correct.

 

Jagannatha Hora gives three options for sunrise: (A) true rise of Sun's center, (B) true rise of Sun's upper tip, and, © apparent rise of Sun's upper tip. The first two options are fine, but an assumption/simplification made in the computation of the third option results in an error that is unacceptably large near the poles. This will be fixed in a future release.

 

However, for astrological purposes such as finding special ascendants, I strongly suggest using option A and not option C.

Dear Narasimha,

 

Thank you for checking this out inspite of your tight schedule.

Your suggestion is nice but I prefer to continue with my sunrise time of visibility of tip of sun's disk. You have given fine arguments about clouds, non-visibility and eclipse to defend your point. Shall surely consider them, but for the moment I continue with the tip of the sun..i.e. option (3) or © below.

 

My reasons are a bit too simplistic - Varähamihira knew more about eclipses, colors of eclipses and bird cries and what not all and almost all kinds of winds and cloud formations than any living astrologer today. If after all that he still advises use of *visibility of tip of sun's disk*, I guess I will follow this until I can understand better.

 

Like all good Vedic Astrologers we continue to discuss these and other such topics like KCD so that a solution emerges from a better appreciation of the knowledge of the seers. Sat Siri ji has given a good article on KCD in this issue of JD and shall await your critique on that after you get and read the magazine. Honestly I was expecting more serious astrologers to participate and give their views and doubts on KCD...lets resolve that and then the ayanamsa issue first before venturing into sunrise and other definitions.

Namaste Willa and Susan,

 

The issue I mentioned below has always been there. Whether you use 6.0 or 7.03, the issue will be there.

 

After I fix the issue, JHora's sunrise time as per apparent rise of upper limb will match Swiss Ephemeris. However, one important fact should be noted.

 

Even after JHora matches Swiss Ephemeris times, it should not be thought to be perfect. It can never be perfect. The sunrise time calculated will be based on average weather conditions. Depending on the exact weather conditions (which cannot be computed by software), the sunrise time can vary. The variation can be big enough to mess up vighati graha calculations etc.

 

If you prefer to define sunrise as the apparent rise of upper limb, there is no way that any software can guarantee accurate calculations. If you want an accurate sunrise time with that definition, the ONLY reliable way is to go to the place on the required date and note down the accurate sunrise time based on manual observation (assuming that there are no clouds or eclipses and sunrise is visible on that day!).

 

Though Varahamihira has been mentioned before to support this definition, there is no clear indication that Varahamihira meant this definition to be used in astrological calculations such as vighati graha and special lagnas. It is a questionable deduction by some scholars and not a given.

 

As a matter of fact, defining sunrise as the apparent rise of upper limb is an ill-definition. On a particular day, sunrise may not be visible at all due to heavy clouds or even an eclipse. What do you do then? I find it quite odd that any astrological calculations should depend on something like that.

 

Just for your information, we take the center of Sun and not the upper limb, when we cast a chart for Sun's ingress into Aries or another sign in mundane astrology. In fact, the position of Sun marked in various divisional charts is also based on Sun's center and not upper limb. Sun means "Sun's center" in astrology and not "Sun's upper tip" or "Sun's lower tip". Unfortunately, an ambiguous verse of Varahamihira that does not specifically refer to Hora Shastra is, in my humble but very strong opinion, causing confusion and blocking progress...

 

But I guess God has a plan for everything and the right time needs to come for everything! :-)

 

 

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Dear Susan

That article was written some time back before I realised that the sunrise time was inaccurate. That is why I have left this open for research and further inputs on this are welcome.

Although I thought of using the divisions of the candra-kala nadi (unequal divisions), in this article I have stuck to Dr B V Raman's definitions of the division of the nadiamsa as equal 150 divisions. Even L Santanam the translator of the candra kala nadi book seems to favor the equal division method of the nadiamsa i.e. sign divided into 150 equal parts. This is in line with Rajam the great nadi scholar.

I have been experimenting with the unequal chandra kala nadi (based on sodasa varga) but this is not in confirmity with the janma vighatika graha definition of Jaimini. So my article is based on Jaimini's defintion of equal division of time and space which has been continued by Rajam, Raman and Santanam. The experimentation continues and we hope to find the real use of the candra-kala nadi soon.

With best wishes and warm regards,

Sanjay Rath

Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya

 

Dear Sanjay,

 

Thanks so much for the clarification on the use of equal vs. unequal

divisions for ardha nadiamsa. From my first few preliminary explorations, the

equal

divisions seem to be quite accurate in the charts that I have looked at.

 

In calculating vighati graha, using the tip of the Sun's disk makes sense to

me, since the janma vighati graha predicts birth (gender/nature) and the

moment when the Sun's disk peaks over the horizon is literally its daily birth

and

the birth of Creation.

 

Regarding the visibility of the tip of the Sun's disk, this thought occurred

to me while watching the Sun rise this morning. There is an explosion into

life that occurs at the first rays of sunrise, and a palpable stillness that

suddenly blankets the Earth at sunset. This distinct moment can be observed in

the sudden stirrings of the Earth and felt as a subtle energy in meditation,

even when the Sun's first rays are obscured. I can see how the visibility of

the Sun would be more complex to calculate in a way that is accurate, consistent

and reliable. Still, to my mind, the visible appearance of the Sun is the

closest to experiential reality, to the changes that occur in nature, and to its

profound effect on life.

 

While watching the sunrise, it also occurred to me that the advent of

electric lighting has changed our perception of light, even at the physiological

and

neurosensory level. I suspect that sensitivity to the nuances of subtle

changes in light was far more acute for astrologers who lived before the advent

of

electric lighting, such that changes that seem subtle to us were probably

obvious to them.

 

I look forward to hearing what emerges from people's research on ardha

nadiamsa and janma vighati graha. I think that with our collective

explorations,

and with Sri Jagannath's blessing, the sunrise time that gives the best results

for janma vighati graha will be revealed.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Susan
