Guest guest Posted March 4, 2000 Report Share Posted March 4, 2000 Om Gurave Namah Dear Zoran, Prana vayu or the first breath is one of the methods of correcting the chart as it shows independant existence of the baby from the Mother. In Kundalini Yoga, this is also closely associated with the Akasha Tatwa, sahasrara Padma and Brahma randhra. Now, let us see the calculation of the Pranapada. Step#1: Convert the time into vighati's and divide by 15. Convert this into signs degrees etc. Assume that in a case the birth is at 9:15' PM and Sunrise is 5:29'15 " AM, then the Janma Ghati is (12+9.25-5.4875)*2.5 =15.7625* 2.5 = Gh 39.40625 =2364.375 Vighati Dividing this by 15, we have 157.625 Signs. Expunge multiples of 12 signs 157.625 - 12*13 = 1.625 Signs or 1s18Deg 45Min Step#2: Check the position of the Sun in the birth chart and transfer it to the MOVABLE SIGN in trines (as is done for determining the navamsa). This is done by adding 120 Deg if it is in Dual sign (goes to fifth house from the sign it is placed in)or 240 Deg if it is in fixed sign (goes to ninth from the sign it is placed in) and nothing is added if it is in a movable sign. Note that the navamsa for a sign are also calculated from the movable sign in its trines like the Navamsa for Taurus (fixed sign) starts from Capricorn (ninth house) and for Gemini (Dual sign) from Libra (fifth house). Let us assume that the Sun was in Cancer at 21Deg 04 Min. Then , there is nothing to add as this is already a movable sign. Step#3 Add the results of Step#1 & Step#2 to get the Pranapada. Thus 3s21Deg04Min + 1s18Deg45Min = 5s09Deg49Min or Virgo 9 Deg 49 Min. The results of the Pranapada in different houses are given by Parasara in BPHS and the results will be greatly modified by the planets (as lords of houses) associating with the Pranapada. The results of signs associating with Pranapada are given in the Jaimini Sutra and the results will be greatly modified by the nature of the planets (as lords of such signs) associating with the Pranapada. Check# Not deviating from the point, see the navamsa position of the Pranapada and that of the Lagna or Moon. These must be in trines/seventh house. In the above example, the Pranapada is in Virgo 9Deg 49 Min or Pisces navamsa and the Moon is also in Pisces navamsa as the Lagna is in Scorpio Navamsa. Thus both lagna and Lunar checks work. Some authors try to apply these checks in the Rasi chart and often get very inaccurate results and have to shift the time by many hours to achieve the result!! Please keep this to yourself as it will be appearing in my next book on birth time rectification.
