Ancient manuscripts were transcribed and re-transcribed and the appearance of newer terms in them can be ruled out on that base. According to David Pingree, whose authority I am not (and never be) ready to contest, Sphujidhaja's Yavanajataka is from 3rd century, and is the versification of an earlie...

We sure have a hard way to understanding each other. I assume दशा daś?? 'condition, circumstance, period of life' is derived from daśa 'ten' not from decennia. But yes, the term दशा daś?? translates the hellenistic astrological term 'decennia.' And also that the term दशा daś?? have not existed in Sa...

It would be worth to find out. I think the term dashA is derived from dasha and that the term's origin in Sanskrit is astrological, as a translation of the term decennia. That means, it is probably not older than the 2nd century CE. I also assume that decennials were the most common astrological pre...

According to Indian astrology, Macron (Capricorn ascendant) have some chances to remain president, especially because his opponent's natal chart is, right now, in a poorer condition.

intersection of hellenistic and indian astrology?? It seems to be many. For example, the succession of planetary periods, the way it was described by Indian astrologers from Sphujidhvaja to Minaraja, Varahamihira and so on, seems to be described also by Valens in Book II, chapter on the Propitious a...

Vettius Valens seems to speak about some kind of navamshas too, in the Book I, chapter on the Masculine and Feminine Degrees. "The masculine and feminine degrees are as follows: the first 2 1/2 degrees of the masculine signs are masculine, /28K/ the next 2 1/2 degrees are feminine." See: M...

Probably one of the oldest Indian astrology reports of lunar nodes as planets (graha) used in predictions is in Puranas, specifically Garuda Purana which date from 4th century (Chapter LX). The english translation is available at archive.org. Discussion is about a dasha cycle that involve Rahu, and ...
