Nilakantha's Annual Astrology

By the method of dividing by the directions and multiplying by the qualities, the Charakhanda Ascensional differences used to adjust for local latitude are 70 | 56 | 23. By subtracting these in one cycle, we get: Pisces and Aries 208, Taurus and Aquarius 243, Gemini and Capricorn 300. In the second cycle, by adding the ascensional differences, we get: Cancer and Sagittarius 346, Leo and Scorpio 355, Virgo and Libra 348. These are the rising periods of the signs for Srinagar. Here, the Svodaya The time it takes for a zodiac sign to rise at a specific local latitude for Taurus is 243; this is multiplied by the degrees to be traversed, resulting in 4374 | 40 | 19 | 70 | 47. Adding the two units from the lower division of 60, it becomes 4509 | 36 | 27. Dividing this by 30, the quotient is 150 | 19 | 12, which is the Bhogyakala The remaining time for a sign to finish rising. The same method applies to the degrees already traversed. Now, from the desired time of 13 ghatis and 54 palas (converted to 834 palas), subtract the remaining time of 150 | 19 | 12. The remainder is 683 | 40 | 48. From this, subtract the rising period of the next sign, Gemini (300), leaving 383. From this, subtract Cancer (346), leaving 37 | 40 | 48. Now, Leo (355) should have been subtracted, but it cannot be; therefore, it is designated as "impure" (the remainder). Multiply this remainder 37 | 40 | 48 by thirty to get 1131 | 240. Divide this by the "impure" value 355; the quotient is 31 | 13 in degrees and minutes. Since we subtracted up to Cancer, we place this in the 4th sign position: 0 | 4 | 31 | 13. Subtracting the Ayanamsha The longitudinal difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiacs of 22 | 45 from this, we get 3 | 10 | 27 | 3. This is the Lagna Spashta The precise calculated longitude of the Ascendant. If the local rising period cannot be subtracted, multiply the desired time by 30 and divide by the rising period of the Sayana Surya The Sun's position calculated according to the tropical zodiac to get the degrees. If this occurs before sunrise, subtract it from the tropical Sun; if after, add it, then subtract the Ayanamsha to find the precise Ascendant. || 21 || 22 || 23 ||
