Place of Birth: The logitude and latitude of one’s birthplace are needed to calculate the time correction to apply to the IST in order to calculate the Local Mean Time.
The arc drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole to identify the location in degrees of a given place from a central point is known as longitude (Greenwich). All of the locations are either to the west or east of Greenwich. The longitude of Bombay, for example, is 72 50′ E.
The arc drawn to denote the location in degrees of a given site North or South of the Equator is known as latitude. The latitude of Bombay, for example, is 18 58′ N.
The time it takes the earth to complete one full rotation is known as sidereal time. It is not exactly 24 hours, but it varies depending to the length of days and nights. It’s called Vernal Equinox time, and it’s a measurement of the earth’s rotation in relation to the equinox, which moves backwards very slowly. The Ascendant is calculated using sidereal time.
To create the horoscope, we must first determine the Ascendant. The rising sign at the time of birth is known as the ascendant. Let’s look at how the Ascendant is determined. This will be accomplished using two books by Jhumpa Lahiri: Table of Ascendants and Annual Ephemeries, 1993 (for the year of birth). These two books are available on the market.
The longitude and latitude of Bombay have been indicated above. These are from the book “Table of Ascendants,” page 101. This book offers all of the relevant information about several of India’s and the world’s biggest cities. If the necessary city is not listed, please see the Atlas for more information. If Atlas isn’t available, the next city can be used. However, precise details are essential for effective horoscope casting.
As previously stated, the ascending sign is placed in the top center of a northern horoscope, followed by zodiac signs written anti-clockwise. Planets are added to the horoscope later. The first step in calculating the Ascendant sign is to get the Local Mean Time (LMT).

Step 1
Convert the IST to the LMT format. There are two methods for determining the correction time to IST in order to produce LMT.
The adjustment time to IST to get LMT is 15 = 1 hour, or 1 = 4 minutes (Note that longitude is expressed in degrees (), minutes (‘), and seconds (“).
Longitude minutes should not be confused with time minutes.
To find the LMT, divide Longitude 72 50′ by 15 using the formula above.
It totals 4 hours 51 minutes and 20 seconds.
How?
This is depicted here to help you understand the computations.
Subtract 5 h 30 m 0 s from 4 h 51m 20s (since GMT is +5 h 30 m 0 s of IST):
Step II
Next, determine the sidereal time for the specified date, time, and location of birth.
The Indian side has been corrected.
(From page 101, last column, Table of Asc) + 06 s real time for Bombay
Now, given the time of birth on 10.12.1993 in Bombay, let’s calculate sidereal time: If the birth occurs before 12 p.m., subtract – 12h: 00m: 00s.
(This deduction is unnecessary for afternoon births.)
The LMT receives a direct correction to increase the time interval.
To increase the time interval, use the following correction (from page 5, Table IV, Table of Asc):
time of birth:
Step III
Refer to the tables in the book Table of Ascendants for various latitudes to determine the Ascendant. Look for the Bombay latitude (or its nearest place, if the same is not available). On page 29, there is a table for Latitude 19 N. The latitude for Bombay, the requisite place of birth, is 18 58′ N, as previously stated (say, 19 N).
On this page, we must look for the Ascendant for the Sidereal Time of 8 hour 25 m 58 s as measured at E.
We get 4 minutes = 55 m if we subtract the former from the later, but we need 2 minutes (8h 24 m + 1 m 58′ (1 m 58′ is about equal to 2′) = 8 h 26 m.
So we obtain 28 m in 2 minutes (55/2: 27.5, or 28).
Step IV
Apply the correction for Ayanamasha for 1993, which is -46′, as per page 6 of the Tables of Ascedants.
The longitudes of the planets must now be computed in order to insert them in the horoscopes. As a result, we proceed as follows:
1.Refer to the 1993 Annual Ephemeris. The longitudes of various planets throughout the entire year, month by month and day by day, have been provided as of 5.30 a.m. IST. On page 30, look for the required date, i.e. December 10th. In contrast, the longitudes of planets on December 10, 1993 at 5.30 a.m. are given. However, our needed birth time is 3.50 a.m., or 22 hours and 20 minutes after 5.30 a.m. on December 9, 1993.
2.Add the distance traversed by planets in 22 h 20 m to the longitudes of planets as of 9.12.1993 at 5.30 AM from page 30.
This can be accomplished in the following manner:
Find the longitudes of the planets using the formula below:
Is it true that horoscopes exist?
Is astrology accurate? Reading horoscopes is a popular pastime, but is there any scientific evidence that they are accurate?
When you’re enticed by a familiar interruption and your willpower weakens, problems can occur.
Every day, up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes. At least, that’s what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. According to a Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life poll conducted twenty years ago, 25% of Americans believe that the positions of the stars and planets have an impact on our daily life. In 2012, the General Social Survey indicated that 34% of Americans think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of scientific,” with the percentage of individuals who think astrology is “not at all scientific” dropping from two-thirds to about half.
Astrology is the concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars over your head when you were born or the fact that Mercury is retrograde, have the potential to influence our daily lives and personality traits. Of course, this is distinct from astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the physics of the cosmos.
A particular facet of astrology, the foretelling of a person’s future or the provision of daily counsel via horoscopes, is gaining in popularity. The Cut, for example, recorded a 150 percent rise in horoscope page views in 2017 compared to 2016.
Clearly, a lot of people are trying to figure out how to read the stars for guidance. Understanding the positions of the stars is the foundation of astrology, which appears to be a scientific discipline in and of itself. Is there any scientific evidence that astrology has an impact on our personalities and lives?
But, since I still have five minutes of this six-minute podcast to fill, let’s take a look at how astrology has been put to the test.
How can I find out what my horoscope is called?
It has frequently been discovered that a person’s name is intimately linked to their personality. It is thought that a person’s name is given to them by the Almighty rather than by their own free will. Because of the shifts in planetary placements from one zodiacsign to another, your Rashi Name can predict quick profits or losses for you. It might provide you an indication of forthcoming events such as wedding dates, birthing dates, job openings, and so on. It uses Indian Astrology to anticipate key events in your life.
It’s simple to utilize our Rashi Name Calculator. Simply enter your name, and it will instantly supply you with your zodiac sign based on the first letter of your name!
What is the best way to locate my Darakaraka?
Your Darakaraka is the lowest-degree planet among the seven Jaimini Chara Karakas. Find the planet with the lowest degree in your Vedic Astrology Birth Chart Report to determine your Darakaraka. This is the planet that represents your partner, or husband in the case of a woman and wife in the case of a man. Venus (Ven) is the Darakaraka in the example below since it is the planet with the lowest degree (DK).
How can I predict my future based on my birth date?
Date of birth Various aspects are taken into account when making astrology forecasts. Here are several predictions that provide a comprehensive picture of a person’s life:
Dasha Prediction: The heavenlybodies express time-duration or “Dasha periods,” and how these time-periods effect you, the reaction they have on your life, and the path they are bound to thrust you in. Dasha Predictions are based on the astrology of one’s birth date.
Sade Sati Information: The sade sati of Shani (Saturn Planet), also known as the’seven and a half year’ period, happens three times in a person’s lifetime and is regarded the most important. The enumerative analysis of the results of this’sade sati,’ its neutral and relentless phases, as well as Age-old treatments from the vedas to alleviate the negative effects of this, are supplied depending on the birth data provided and are in some ways a part of birthday astrology.
Nakshatra Phal: This report recognizes interesting facts about you, your nature, behavior, characteristics, and personality, as well as the positive and negative aspects, your strengths and weaknesses, and a plethora of other useful and interesting personal information that will assist you in making the best decisions and choices in your life and leading a more productive and prosperous life.
Planetary Influence: Concerns about planetary inclination in your horoscope, the location and influence of numerous planets, their favorable and unfavorable, good and terrible, positive and negative impacts on many aspects of your life This portion of birth date astrology provides future predictions as well as detailed explanations of which direction the stars will stimulate you. What impact and influence they will have on you and your life decisions.
Varshphal: The varshphal, also known as vedic yearly astrology or annual horoscope, is one of the numerous vedic executions based on birthday astrology used to predict future occurrences. Though it is practiced all over India, it is more common in northern India. It’s designed to last a year, or until the sun returns to the same sign and degree as its natural location. The natal horoscope, also known as Kundli, is the cast for a person’s birth time. The varshphal, on the other hand, is solar-based, meaning that the location of the sun is the most important factor.
Not only Vedic Astrology, but also Western Astrology, which is based on birth date astrology, is quite popular these days. This branch is based on the Sun Sign of the individual.

Is it difficult to learn astrology?
Despite being an open book test, the ISAR CAP is widely regarded as one of the most difficult exams in the astrological field. Yes. Multiple tough exams are available in 2018 to assess one’s skill to read the stars.
