Budh and Shani are Asta (eclipsed). Chandr: on 01-02-1962 is Jyesta 21-15 Gh (03:09 pm); on 02-02-1962 is Moola 18-14 Gh (01:57 pm). The span of Moola Nakshatra is roughly 57 Ghatis. So each quarter is 14 1/4 Ghatis. Birth being at Gh 23-23 time passed in Moola Nakshatra till birth time is (23-23) - (21-15) = Gh 02-08. This is just the first quarter of Moola. So birth Nakshatra or the Chara of Chandr is Moola 1. To find the Dasha balance For 57 Ghatis the birth Dasha of Ketu is 7 years. For Gh 02-08 (2 2/15) it is 7/57 × 3 2/5 yr.; yr. 00-03-04. So the balance of Ketu Dasha at birth is 06-08-26 yrs. As per this, Chandr's position is 30' in Dhanur (08-00-30). To find Lagna On 01-02-1962 the balance of Udaya Lagna (rising sign Makara) is given as Gh 01-46. As per Rasi span of Madras latitude, balance in Makara is 01-46, Kumbha 04-16, Meena 04-10, Mesha 04-28, Vrishabha 05-03 total Gh 19-43. Birth being at 23-23 Gh, there still remains Gh 03-40 to pass in Mithuna. Thus Lagna is Mithuna. To work out the exact degree position of Lagna The span of Mithuna is Gh 05-29 or 329 Vig for 30°. For Gh 03-40 or 220 Vig the position is (30 × 200) ÷ 329 = 20-3 degrees (Vig stands for Vighalige). Hence the exact Lagna point in Mithuna is 20-03 degrees i.e. (02-20-03). To workout 10th meridian from Lagna On pp. 72 of Lahiri's Ephemeris of 1962 in the Table of houses: against 20-03 of Mithuna in col. 1, the sidereal time under Madras (col. 4) is 00-35-50. Under col. 2 (10th house for all places) this sidereal time of 00-35-50 is seen across 18° of Meena in col. 1. Thus the cusp of the 10th house is 18° of Meena. Ephemeris method Now let us get them verified by Lahiri's Ephemeris 1962. At 05:30 am on 01-02-1960 the position of: Surya is 09-18-19; Chandr is 07-24-28. Day's motion of Surya is 61 min. and that of Chandr deg. 14-18. From 05:30 am to 04 pm (birth time) the interval is 10 1/2 hours. Working by "rule of three" their movements for 10 1/2 hours, Surya advances by 26 min. and Chandr by deg. 06-15. Adding these their actual positions at birth time are 09-18-45 and 08-00-43 respectively. For this position of Chandr the balance of Ketu Dasha at birth is yrs. 06-07-15. The other planetary positions at birth time may be similarly worked out and they are: Kuja
Budh (R)
Guru
Shukr
Shani
Rahu
Ketu
09-06-19
09-27-18
09-24-27
09-20-03
09-10-04
03-26-39
09-26-03
Budh is retrograde and set (eclipsed). Shukr is set, Guru is set, Shani is set. Take always mean Rahu position (pp. 30) and not true Rahu. In this connection I have corresponded with Mr. Lahiri to include daily positions of mean Rahu. Please remember that the three figures used to name the zodiacal positions of planets etc. are Rasi-degreeminute. If it be a measure of period - years-months-days but of time - hours-minutes-seconds. From the above degree position you may evaluate their starry positions. In this case the two methods viz. Panchanga and ephemeris agree as the two under reference are following the same method and same Ayanamsha (of Gov. of India) with all that I will show you slight difference between the two. When that is the case how can we relay on all Panchangas or ephemeris.
