Re: On the Original Ayanamsa Check my understanding of what you said here Pierre... According to SS there are the "physical" planets, then there are "Grahas" that are not necessarily at the same point as the "physical" planet because the local universe is smaller? So the observed postion of a plane... Forum: Indian and Asian astrology Topic: On the Original Ayanamsa Replies: 12 Views: 9902 Tue Jun 04, 2019 10:11 pm Jump to post
hi pierre, i don't have a copy of SS... can you answer the question in a more direct manner? thanks - james Oh that is the one in my article on "the original ayanamsa". There I describe it at length. There was only this ayanamsa until western scientists rediscoved precession of the equino...

Re: On the Original Ayanamsa Hello Pierre: Just curious... Does the SS explain or account for the precession of the perihelion of Mercury? Cheers.[/quote] Hello SS computes a distinct cosmological model for all grahas, not planets. This local universe is much smaller than the physical one. For mercury and venus there is a speci...

. Anyone who gets their Indian cosmological understanding of Trepidation, or anything to do with ancient cosmology, from Wikipedia deserves to believe what they are reading. Of course modern physical astronomy rejects the idea of Trepidation. It also rejects, well... all of astrology, be it tropical...

Great input Petosiris, So Valens seems to be the earliest astrologer using these allocations of 4 elements to the signs. He writes of them as Fiery, watery, earthy and so forth as a matter of course, almost as if it was well known, though. These elements are also used in Horary so the proof of the p...

Therese, ask Ben Dykes, he may have that information. This presumably comes after Ptolemy, who doesnt use the 4 elements in his sign classification, to the best of my knowledge. I lost my Hephaistio so I cant look there. Petosiris might know if he used the 4 elements, he was from about 380 AD. [quot...

Re: Dating Parashara But yes. Parasara and his work had been lost for several centuries. Which is why it made quite a splash when it resurfaced. Be cause he was known as one of the 18 sages who taught jyotisa early on. Dating Parashara Al Biruni (973-1049) has given us an excellent snapshot of India in his lifetime. He ...

Yes the triplicities come from the winds, which are the directions, north south east west, where planets are associated with the signs having similar directions. SO winds link planets with signs this way. Its in Ptolemy. The steps add details, were 15 deg steps, being the half directions. So north a...

The Water-Pourer and the Goat-Horned One are watery signs according to Hellenistic astrologers, while the Scorpion is wholly terrestrial creature.
