Longitude of one nakshatra is 13 deg. 20 minutes. Hence 13 deg 20 minutes x 12 rashis = 360 degrees. NB : 60 seconds = 1 minute.
60 minutes = 1 deg. 30 degrees = 1 rashi.
360 deg = 1 rashi chakra.
Hence 13 deg. 20 minutes = 800 minutes.

CHANDRA (MOON) LAGNA (JANMA RASHI). The placement of Moon is very important in a horoscope.
The Rashi in which Moon is placed is called Chandra Lagna or Janma Rashi or Moon Rashi or Chandra lagnam.
Suppose in a horoscope if the Moon is placed at 10 deg. 50 minutes, we will say that the Nakshatra of the person is Aswhini 4th padam. The lord of Ashwini is Ketu. Since Moon is placed in Aries, the sign lord is Mars. Hence the sign lord is Mars and Star lord is Ketu.

The total longitude of the rashi chakra or zodiac is 360 deg.
CHAPTER 38 MOTIONS OF PLANETS
Planets move forward and backward, which is called direct and retrogression. Illuminaries such as Sun and Moon always move forward and it is called clock-wise movement. This is also called direct movement.
Planets such as Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn move both forward and backward (clock wise and anti clock wise), which is called direct and retrogression respectively. (All movements backward or anti-clock wise are called retrogression). Shadowy planets such as Rahu and Ketu always move backwards and hence they are always in retrogression.

PLANETARY PECULIARITIES
Athichaara or Acceleration : Faster movement of planet is called acceleration Stambhana or Stagnation : Placement in the same sign for more than usual Period is called stagnation or stationery.
Astangata or combustion : Planets in intimate conjunction with Sun get combustion.
Samagama : Planets placed along with Mon gets samagama Arohana : Ascending direction from neecha to ucha. Avarohana : Descending direction from uccha to neecha CHAPTER 50
Athichaara or Acceleration : Faster movement of planet is called acceleration There are planets who move faster in certain signs, especially Mercury, etc. Some Astrologers while evaluating a horoscope and when a querist asked about the fructification of an event, the speed of the planet is looked into and result told thereon depending upon the fastness too.
Stambhana or Stagnation : Placement in the same sign for more than usual Period is called stagnation or stationery.
This is called a planet getting stagnant in a house. Normally Mars takes around 45 days to cross over a sign. But if you remember during last year Mars stayed in Aries for approx. 6 months. At that time mars and Saturn were in mutual aspect (viewing each other). This has resulted in catastrophic effects all over the world. There were ship sinking, mine collapsing, heavy rains, landslides, etc.
In the chart of President Kennedy, Mars and Saturn were in similar position (Mars in Aries and Saturn in Cancer). In the chart of Attorney General Robert F Kennedy, Mars and Saturn were in proximity to each other.
Hence it is concluded that malefic planet getting stagnant is dangerous. However, planets like Sun and Moon or shadowy planets like Rahu or Ketu does not stagnant. Astangata or combustion : Planets in intimate conjunction with Sun get
combustion.
There is normal belief that whoever planets get closer to Sun, gets their strength reduced.
51
There are planets who goes from debilitation to exaltation or vice versa. For example, Sun debilitates at 20 deg in Libra and movement therefrom is called Arohana (ascending)
Avarohana : Descending direction from uccha to neecha Avarohana (descending) is exactly opposite to Arohana
CHAPTER 51
HUMOURS AND BODILY PARTS.
Ravi and Kuja – Pitta or bile
Chandra and Sukra – Vata and Kapha or wind and phlegm Guru – Kapha or Plegm
Shani and Rahu – Vata or wind.
Budha - mixture of all humours. Ketu - (is like Kuja or Mars)
Sl No.
Planet Bodily parts
1 Sun Bile, Heart, brain, head, eye and bone.
2 Mon Breast, saliva, womb, water, blood and lymphatic and glandular systems.
3 Mar Bile, ears, nose, forehead, sinews, fiber and muscular tissues.
4 Mer Abdomen, tongue, lungs, bowels, nerve centers, bile and muscular tissues.
5 Jup Phlegm, blood, thighs, flesh and fat and arterial system.
6 Ven Ovaries, eyes, generative system, kidneys, water, semen and phlegm.
53 CHAPTER 52 ANTAR DASHA (BHUKTI)
Each Vimshottari Mahadasha is divided into Antar Dasha (Bhukti) as per the planets. Some of the examples are given below:
Suppose Venus Mahadasha is of 20 years, which is divided into nine planetary antar dasha as below:
Suppose VENUS MAHADASHA 20 years starts from 19.09.2005 Calculation is planetary dasha x planetary dasha
Take the last digit and multiply by 3. Rest digits may be treated as months.
Hence Venus antar dasha will be: 20 x 20 = 40. Here last digit is 0. Hence 40 months, which is 3 years and 4 months.
Venus Antar Dasha 0 days, 4 months, 3 years, 19.09.2005
00.04.0003 --- 19.01.2009
Sun Antar Dasha 20 x 6 = 120 means 12 months, which means 1 year 00.00.0001
--- 19.01.2010
Moon Antar Dasha 20 x 10 = 210 = 0 days, 11 months, 1year 00.11.0001
--- 19.12.2011 Mars Antar Dasha
Rahu Antar Dasha Jupiter Antar Dasha Saturn Antar Dasha Mercury Antar Dasha Ketu Antar Dasha
Another example: Rahu mahadasha, Rahu Antar dasha. 18 x 18 =324 Last digit 4 x 3 =12. hence 12 days and 32 months.
32 months is 2 years and 8 months

CHAPTER 55 LAGNAM CALCULATION.
Lagnam or Ascendant refers to the time of birth.
There are 12 rashis in the zodiac. There are 24 hours in a day. Hence each rashi is having approximately 2 hours.
The earth on its axis rotates one time in 24 hours. The calculation for lagna is as given below:--
There are two types of birth: before noon birth and after noon birth. BEFORE NOON BIRTH.
All births before 12.00 noon are called before noon births.
Suppose, one person is borne at 9.30 a.m. on 02-Sept 1961 at Ernakulam. The calculation for lagna is as follows (to be read with “Lahiri” Table of Ascendants):--
Hr-min-sec
Indian standard time (time of birth) 09-30-00
Local mean time correction (for Ernakulam).
82-30 Central Longitude of India (GMT Minus 5.30 hrs) 76-18 Longitude of Ernakulam
06-12 x 4 – 4 24-48
minus 00-24-48
Local mean time 09-05-12
Noon time (since morning birth) 12-00-00
OR 11-59-60
Local mean time minus 09-05-12
02-54-48 Table IV correction for 9 hours (LMT) Plus 00-00-20
-do- for 5 minutes (LMT) plus 00-00-09
Corrected time interval (CTI) 02-54-77
OR 02-55-17
Sidereal time (for Sept 2nd ) 10-43-48
Year correction (for 1961) Plus 00-00-54
Place Correction (for Ernakulam) Plus 00-00-04
Corrected Sidereal time (CST) 10-43-106
OR 10-44-46 Since morning birth, calculation is CST minus CTI:
57
Contd..
Latitude for Ernakulam 09 deg. 59 min North
Please see page 17 of “Table of Ascendants” by NC Lahiri.
The time for Epoch is 7-49-29, which means 7 hours 49 minutes 29 seconds.
sign-deg-min The table of ASC is (for 7-52) as per table 06-05-04 The table of ASC is (for 7-48) as per table Minus 06-04-05
Difference 00-00-59
Hence difference between 7-52 and 7-48 is 4 minutes. Difference between signs is 59 minutes.
Hence 59 / 4 == 14.75 say 15minute arc for one minute of time.
For Time for Epoch 06-04-05
To arrive at TFE 7-49-29 plus 00-00-15
06-04-20 Ayanamsa correction for 1961 (year of birth) minus 00-00-19
The Ascendant 06-04-01
Hence the ascendant is 06 signs, 04 degrees and 01 minute.
i.e., Tula (Libra) Asc at 04 degree and 01 minutes, which is Chitta 4 padam. or 184 deg. 01 minute.
CHAPTER 56
SUB LORD CALCULATION.
The sub-lord is a calculation by Late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurty, who has brought about his own way of prediction in which Sub lord is given more importance. The sub-lord is nothing but all the nakshatras are divided into 9 as per the Vimshottari dasha system as given below:
The longitude of a constellation is 13 deg. 20 minutes.
For Example, take the constellation Aswhini, longitude of which is 13 deg. 20 min., which is 800 minutes when converted into minutes. (13 x 60 = 780 + 20 min). The calculation for sub lord of aswhini i.e., from 00 deg 00 min to 13 deg.20 min are as follows:
Aswhini lord being Ketu, the sub-lord is started from Ketu.
Hence 800 x Ketu’s Vimshottari dasha divided by 120 years of total Vimshottari dasha. 800 x 7 --- 120 long of star VMD Total VMD Result (minutes) Duration D-M-S Longitude Sub-lord
(A) (B) (C ) A*B/C From To 800 7 120 46.67 00-46-40 00-00-00 00-46-40 Ketu 800 20 120 133.33 02-13-20 00-46-40 03-00-00 Ven 800 6 120 40.00 00-40-00 03-00-00 03-40-00 Sun 800 10 120 66.67 01-06-40 03-40-00 04-46-40 Mon 800 7 120 46.67 00-46-40 04-46-40 05-33-20 Mar 800 18 120 120.00 02-00-00 05-33-20 07-33-20 Rah 800 16 120 106.67 01-46-40 07-33-20 09-20-00 Jup 800 19 120 126.67 02-06-40 09-20-00 11-26-40 Sat 800 17 120 113.33 01-53-20 11-26-40 13-20-00 Mer Note : VDM means Vimshottari Maha Dasha
D-M-S == Degrees, Minutes, Seconds
Similar way for other nakshatras. After Aswini, next Nakshatra is Bharani, whose lord is Venus. Hence the sub-lord starts from Venus.
For example if a planet or asc. Falls within 00-00-00 to 00-46-40 degrees in Aries, we can say the sub-lord of that planet is Ketu.

CHAPTER – 58. ABHIJIT NAKSHATRA.
Abijit (Abhijeet) Nakshatra is an existing constellation (Star - Nakshatra) in the stellar system. But the same is said to have been de-activated by the Lord Sri Maha Vishnu after the Mahabharatha War. However, persons born after four hours of Uthrashada (Uthiradam) nakshatra are said to be part of this Abhijt (Abijeet) nakshatram.
It is considered that Last part or end of 4th quarter in Uthirashada and two hours in the first part of or 1st Charan or Quarter of Shravan are considered as Abhijeet Nakshatram.
ABHIJIT LAGNA.
The 4th lagna from Sun’s position is called Abhijit lagna.
For example if the Sun is placed in Aries on a particular day, the fourth sign from Aries is Cancer. Hence Cancer is the Abhiji lagna, and so on.
65 CHAPTER 59 TRANSIT OF PLANETS.
For all planets certain positions are considered good while certain position is considered in-auspicious.
Malefic planets
Good in signs from natal moon during transit
Average in signs from natal moon during transit
Bad in signs from natal moon
during transit
Sun 3,6,10,11 1,2,5,7,9,8,12
Mars 3,6,10,11 Rest all
Saturn 3,6,11 9, 10 Rest all
Rahu 3,6,11 Rest all
Ketu 3,6,11 Rest all
Benefic planets
Good in signs from natal moon during transit
Average in signs from natal moon during transit
Bad in signs from natal moon
during transit
Jupiter 2,5,7,9,11 1,10 Rest all
Venus Rest all
Mercury Rest all
Moon Rest all
Saturn -- You are aware that Saturn takes 2 ½ years to cross over one sign and for the entire rashi Chakra it takes 30 years.
When Saturn reaches 12th sign from your natal moon (the sign in which moon is placed in your original birth chart) your Saade saath (or elartha shani) starts. This will continue till Saturn leaves your 2nd sign from natal moon. So when Saturn
transits 12th, 1st and 2nd signs of your natal moon you will be experiencing Saade Sath Shani.
CHAPTER 60
RASHI AND LAGNA DIRECTIONS.
The 4th house in an individual‘s chart signifies the living place of the native. And the matters related to house are indicated by the planets in the 4th house and also the position of the 4th lord in a chart. Planets play a crucial role in understanding the nature of the directions.
Here are few notes on the individual lagna (ascendant) and the main directions associated with that particular lagna.
*For Mesha (Aries) lagna moon is the 4th lord, and northwest is the main direction. *For Rishabha (Taurus) lagna East is the main direction.
*For Mithuna (Gemini)North is the main direction.
*For Kataka (Cancer) lagna the southeast is main direction. *For Simha (Leo) lagna the south is main direction.
*For Thula (Libra) and Vrichika (Scorpio) lagna the west is the main direction. *For Dhanus (Sagittarius) lagna the northeast is the main direction.
*For Makara (Capricorn) lagna the south is the main direction. *For Kumbha (Aquarius) southeast is the main direction. *For Meena (Pisces) lagna north is the main direction.

CHAPTER 61 – ERECTING THE HOROSCOPE.
The books of ephemeries are giving planetary positions for every day or every alternative days at 5.30 a.m. or 5.30 pm. The most read ephemery is the one made by N.C. Lahiri. In order to erect the horoscope we need to find out the planetary position for any given time and date. For example: Female born on 02.05.1979 at 12.05 hours (earning morning of 02.05.1979) at Hyderabad, India.
The time lapsed from 5.30 am on 01.05.1979 to the time of birth i.e., 12.05 am (midnight of 01.05.1979) on 02.05.1979 is :
Time of birth: 24-05 pm Ephemery pnt: 05-30 am Difference : 18-35 hours
Hence the total time lapsed upto the time of birth is 18 hours 35 minutes, which when converted into minutes is 1115 minutes (18x 60=1080 + 35). 24 hours when converted into minutes, we get 1440 minutes.
The planetary position is taken from NC Lahiri ephemeries as below:

What is missing in the above Rashi Chakra is the Ascendant or lagna. Now shall we make the Ascendant as per chapter CHAPTER 55
CHAPTER 62
LAGNAM CALCULATION (II)
Lagnam or Ascendant means the time of birth.
There are 12 rashis and 24 hours in a day. Hence each rashi is having approximately 2 hours.
The earth on its axis rotates one time in 24 hours. The calculation for lagna is as given below:--
There are two types of birth: before noon birth and after noon birth. BEFORE NOON BIRTH.
All births before 12.00 noon are called before noon births.
Suppose, one person is borne at 00.05 a.m. on 02-May 1979 at Hyderabad. The calculation for lagna is as follows as per book Table of Ascendants by NC Lahiri:--
Hr-min-sec
Indian standard time (time of birth) 00-05-00
Local mean time correction (for Ernakulam). minus 00-24-48
Local mean time 09-05-12
Noon time (since morning birth) 12-00-00
OR 11-59-60
Local mean time minus 09-05-12
02-54-48 Table IV correction for 9 hours (LMT) Plus 00-00-20
-do- for 5 minutes (LMT) plus 00-00-09
Corrected time interval (CTI) 02-54-77
OR 02-55-17
Sidereal time (for May 2nd ) 10-43-48
Year correction (for 1979) Plus 00-00-54
Place Correction (for Hyderabad) Plus 00-00-04
Corrected Sidereal time (CST) 10-43-106
OR 10-44-46 Since afternoon birth, calculation is CST plus CTI:
Corrected Sidereal time (CST) 10-44-46
Corrected time interval minus 02-55-17
Sidereal time for Epoch (TFE) 07-49-29
73
sign-deg-min The table of ASC is (for 7-52) as per table 06-05-04 The table of ASC is (for 7-48) as per table Minus 06-04-05
Difference 00-00-59
Hence difference between 7-52 and 7-48 is 4 minutes. Difference between signs is 59 minutes.
Hence 59 / 4 == 14.75 say 15minute arc for one minute of time.
For Time for Epoch 06-04-05
To arrive at TFE 7-49-29 plus 00-00-15
06-04-20
Ayanamsa correction for 1961 minus 00-00-19
The Ascendant 06-04-01
Hence the ascendant is 06 signs, 04 degrees and 01 minute.
i.e., Tula lagnam at 04 degree and 01 minutes, which is Chitta 4 padam. or 184 deg. 01 minute.

If any planet or Asc falls in Aswini 1st pada I.e., 00 deg to 3 deg 20 min in Aries, in the Navamsa chakra, please put that planet or Asc in Aries only.
Suppose one person born on 14 April to 17 april and that case the longitude of sun is 0 deg to 3-20 then in the navamsa chakra place sun in Aries only. Once the longidue of Sun is in between 3-20 to 6-40 then place Sun in Taurus. The same way for other planets. The same way for other planets who are placed in other stars as per the table above.
75
TRANSIT
The transit of planets is very important in predictive part. Following are the planets’ transit time in a sign.
Sun 30 days
Moon 2 ¼ days
Mars 45 days
Mercury 30 to 40 days
Jupiter 1 year (including retrograde time)
Venus 30 to 40 days
Saturn 2 ½ years (including retrograde time)
Rahu 18 months
Ketu 18 months
CHAPTER 65
CLUE TO ASC CALCULATION.
There will be 12 Ascendants in a day, each having approx. 2 hours, thus totaling to 24 hours, which is one day again.
The ascendant is always counted from the position of Sun.
For example on April 14th every year Sun enters Aries as per Nirayana. From Sun rise to approx for next hours Asc will be in Aries. Say 8 a.m. From 8 a.m. onwards upto 10 a.m. (apprx.) Asc will be in Taurus and so on.
Similar way from May 15th every onwards the Asc starts at sun rise at Taurus, since Sun will be in Taurus as per Nirayana.
The same way for other signs.
Mar Sun

Jup® == R means retrograde. Other planets are in direct motion. Of course, Rahu and Ketu are always in retrograde motion.
Today is 17th May 2007 and Sun is in Taurus at around 2 degrees.
At the time of Sun rise on 17th May 2007, the ascendant (lagna) shall be at Taurus. At 11.04 a.m. Asc travelled upto Cancer at 16 deg 14 minutes.
