HORA LAGNA

Hora lagna is at the position of Sun at the time of sunrise. It moves at the rate of one rasi per hora (hour). In the rest of this book, horalagna will be denoted by HL. If sunrise takes place at 6:00 am and Sun is at 6s 4°47' then, horalagna is at 6s 4°47' at 6:00 am, at 6s 19°47' at 6:30 am, at 7s 4°47' at 7:00 am, 8s 4°47' at 8:00 am and so on. Horalagna moves at the rate of 1/2° per minute (i.e., 30° per hour).

The following method may be used for computing horalagna.
(1) Find the time of sunrise and sun's longitude at sunrise.
(2) Find the difference between the birthtime (or the event time) and the sunrise time
found in (1) above. Convert the difference into minutes.
(3) Divide the number by 2. The result is the advancement of horalagna since sunrise, in degrees.
(4) Add Sun's longitude at sunrise (in degrees) to the above number. Expunge multiples of 360° and reduce the number to the range 0°–360°.
(5) This is the longitude of horalagna (HL).
  

BHAAVA LAGNA

Bhaava lagna is at the position of Sun at the time of sunrise. It moves at the rate of one rasi per 2 hours. In the rest of this book,
If sunrise takes place at 6:00 am and Sun is at 6s 4°47' then, horalagna is at 6s 4°47' at 6:00 am, at 6s 19°47' at 7:00 am, at 7s 4°47' at 8:00 am, 8s 4°47' at 10:00 am and so on. Bhavalagna moves at the rate of 1° per 4 minutes (i.e., 15° per hour).
The following method may be used for computing bhavalagna.
(1) Find the time of sunrise and sun's longitude at sunrise.
(2) Find the difference between the birthtime (or the event time) and the sunrise time found in (1) above. Convert the difference into minutes. The result is the advancement of bhavalagna since sunrise, in degrees.
(3) Add Sun's longitude at sunrise (in degrees) to the above number. Expunge multiples of 360° and reduce the number to the range 0°–360°.
(4) This is the longitude of bhavalagna (BL).

PLANETS AND ITS ELEMENTS

Planets & Five Elements
Published by http://latest-astrology.blogspot.com/

These rulerships throw light on the basic nature of planets. Being a fiery planet, Mars governs leadership, enterprise etc. Being an earthy planet, Mercury governs memory, logical abilities etc. Being an airy planet, Saturn governs wandering and free spirit. Being a watery planet, Venus governs imaginative and creative work. Being an ethery planet, Jupiter governs wisdom, intelligence and perceiving knowledge.

(1) Agni tattva (fiery element) is ruled by Mars. Sun also has the same nature.
(2) Bhoo tattva (earthy element) is ruled by Mercury.
(3) Vaayu tattva (airy element) is ruled by Saturn.
(4) Aakaasa tattva (ethery element) is ruled by Jupiter.
(5) Jala tattva (watery element) is ruled by Venus. Moon also has the same nature.

VISHNU'S AVATARAS

All these incarnations came into being with a significant percentage of paramaatmaamsa (supreme essence) than jeevaatmaamsa (living essence). Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varaha avataras had only paramaatmaamsa.

This world contains two essences – jeevaamsa (living essence) and paramaatmaamsa (absolute and supreme essence). Planets are the manifestations of different aspects of these essences. Vishnu’s incarnations happened with these essences taken from various planets.
Meena/Matsya avatara (fish) came from Ketu. Koorma avatara (tortoise) came from Saturn. Varaaha/sookara avatara (boar) came from Rahu. Narasimha/Nrisimha avatara (half-man, half-lion) came from Mars. Vaamana avatara (learned dwarf) came from Jupiter. Parasu Rama/Bhaargava Rama came from Venus. Rama came from Sun. Krishna came from Moon. Buddha came from Mercury.
Other living beings are born with a significant percentage of jeevaamsa and a little of paramaatmaamsa from the planets.

RAISING OF RASIS

Some rasis rise with their head. They are called “Seershodaya rasis”. Some rasis rise with their feet4
. They are called “Prishthodaya rasis”.
(1) Ge, Le, Vi, Li, Sc, Aq are Seershodaya rasis.
(2) Ar, Ta, Cn, Sg, Cp are Prishthodaya rasis.
(3) Pi rises with both its head and feet.
It is said that planets in Seershodaya rasis give their results in the first half of their dasas and planets in Prishthodaya rasis give their results in the second half of theirdasas.

PITTA, VAATA AND KAPHA

Ayurveda is India’s Vedic medical system that recognizes human body and everything else in the universe as having 3 natures that are formed with the above 5 elements:

Pitta or bilious nature is a combination of the elements of fire and water. It shows things that result in tranformation in a system. In a human body, for example, it may show digestion etc.
Vaata or windy nature is a combination of the elements of air and ether. It shows things that move in and out of a system. In a human body, for example, it may show breathing etc.
Kapha or phlegmatic nature is a combination of the elements of earth and water. It shows things that bind a system together. In a human body, for example, it may show bones, muscles, fat etc. It shows things that give a structure to a system.  

PANCHAANGA

When we choose a muhurta (an auspicious time for starting a venture), we should choose an auspicious tithi, vaara, nakshatra, yoga and karana.
Panchaanga means “one with 5 limbs”. Almanacs published in India with planetary positions are traditionally called panchaangas. Along with the planetary positions, they give the start and end times of tithi, vaara (week day – Sunday, Monday etc), nakshatra, yoga and karana running on each day. These five are the limbs of panchaanga.
In Southern India most of Families use Panchangas, Some times they may go out for their important works after seeing Panchanga

KARANAS IN ASTROLOGY

Each tithi is divided into 2 karanas. There are 11 karanas: (1) Bava, (2) Balava, (3) Kaulava, (4) Taitula, (5) Garija, (6) Vanija, (7) Vishti, (8) Sakuna, (9) Chatushpada, (10) Naga, and, (11) Kimstughna. The first 7 karanas repeat 8 times starting from the 2 nd half of the first lunar day of a month. The last 4 karanas come just once in a month, starting from the 2nd half of the 29th lunar day and ending at the 1st half of the first lunar day.

LUNAR MONTHS

A solar year has about 365.2425 days, but a lunar year only has about 355 days. Once in every 3 years, this difference accumulates to one month and an extra lunar month comes. New lunar month starts whenever Sun and Moon are at the same longitude. Then Moon will go ahead of Sun and, after about 29-30 days, he will catch up with Sun again. A new lunar month will start again. These lunar months go by special names. The name of a lunar month is decided by the rasi in which Sun-Moon conjunction2 takes place. If Sun-Moon conjoin in Pisces, for example, it starts Chaitra maasa. These names come from the constellation that Moon is most likely to occupy on the full Moon day. In the month that starts when Sun and Moon conjoin in Pisces, Moon is likely to be in Chitra constellation (23°20' in Virgo to 6°40' in Libra) on the full Moon day (15th tithi – Pournimasya). So the month is called Chaitra. One is called “Nija” Jeshtha maasa and the other is called “Adhika” Jyeshtha maasa. Nija means real and adhika means extra. An adhika maasa (extra month) comes once in every 3 years and that synchronizes the lunar years with solar years. This calendar has been in use in India for millennia.

NAKSHATRAS IN ASTROLOGY

In Vedic astrology, the zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras. Each nakshatra has a length of 360º/27 = 13º 20'. The first nakshatra, for example, stretches from the beginning of Aries to 13º 20' in Aries. The second nakshatra stretches from there to 26º 40' in Aries. The third nakshatra stretches from there to 10º in Taurus. The list of nakshatras with the respective starting and ending points is given in Table 2. The table also gives the “Vimsottari lords” of all nakshatras.
Each nakshatra is again divided into 4 quarters. They are called padas (legs/feet). The length of a nakshatra pada is 3º 20'.

CHART ANALYSIS

The words “planet” and “star” are used in a slightly different sense in astrology than in astronomy. For example, Sun (a star) and Moon (a satellite of earth) are called planets in astrology, along with Mars etc. Basically, a graha or a planet is a body that has considerable influence on the living beings on earth. Distant stars have negligible influence on us, but Sun, Moon and planets in the solar system have a great influence on our activities. So the word graha (or planet) is used to describe them.

There are 3 popular ways of drawing charts in India: (1) South Indian style chart ruled by Jupiter, (2) North Indian style diamond chart ruled by Venus and (3) East Indian style Sun chart ruled by Sun.

Based on the positions of all the planets when a person is born, several charts are prepared. They go by the names – “rasi chart” and “divisional charts”. Based on the analysis of these charts, several conclusions can be drawn regarding the results that can be given by different planets to the native.
Different houses stand for different matters. Looking at the rasis and houses occupied by various planets, we can say a lot of things about the person. How exactly this is done will become clear in coming chapters.
A “chart” (Sanskrit name: chakra) is prepared with the information of rasis occupied by all planets. For preparing any chart, we need to first determine the rasis occupied by all planets, upagrahas, lagna and special lagnas. In the visual representation of a chart, there are 12 boxes (are some other visual areas) with each representing a rasi. All planets, upagrahas and lagnas are written in the boxes corresponding to the rasis they occupy.  

HOROSCOPE MATCH

The Hindus ensure that the compatibility of this solemn lifelong binding enables the couple to live 'happily ever after'. Marriage, both in social and economic sense, is a sexual relationship entered into with the intention of making it permanent. The universality of marriage constitutes on of the most striking differences between the Hindus and other races.  In India marriage is regarded as a religious sacrament and marriage comprehends the equality of the partner in respect of Dharma (right conduct), Artha , Karma and Moksha. Marriages between parties belonging to the same Gotra are not favoured perhaps because of the dysgenic influence on the offspring. Our society attaches greatest importance to marriage and horoscope compatibility or ten kinds of matches. Inter-racial, intercommunal and inter-religious marriages are not looked upon favourably because in such matches there are cultural difference. Totally we can say it as many people believe in Horoscope. Marriage matching or match making is a solemn decision taken on behalf of the boy and a girl before they tie the knot to hold and to behold each other for the rest of their lives.

ASTROLOGY IN NEW ERA

Now a days most of the people in the world get educated and learn Science. But many of them believe in Astrology.
What is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of patterns and relationships -- of planets in motion, our birth chart, synastry with others, the make-up of elements -- and using that knowledge as a tool to find meaning.
Astrology is a Science?
The study of Metaphysics which is beyond the physical. It's similar to other fields that are founded on ancient theories of energy patterns, like acupuncture, feng shui and yoga. Astrology at high levels is a mastery of its particular science and the intuitive arts.
When searching for alliance the first thing done by the parents is exchange of birth horoscopes (jataka) of bride and groom. If they are not suitable they will reject the allinace even though the girl or boy is suitable in other respects
Some people do not accept Horoscope and Astrology but we may see them sometimes in Jyothishyalay.
