The Essence of Tajika Astrology

Divided by 125, the result in minutes and seconds is 38;52.

Calculation for Jupiter

The elapsed desired time in ghatikas A unit of time equal to 24 minutes is 967;52. This is multiplied by the interval degrees of 3;20, resulting in 3226;13;20. This sum is divided by the total sidereal time of 2638;25. The resulting degrees and minutes are 1;12;32. When added to the previous planetary position of 10 signs, 6 degrees, 40 minutes, and 0 seconds, the True Jupiter is 10;7;52;32.

The Velocity

Since it is in the first quarter, 60 is multiplied by 200, giving 1200. Divided by the total sidereal time of 2668;25, the resulting Velocity is 4;29.

Calculation for Venus

The elapsed desired time is 1229 ghatikas. Multiplying this by the interval degrees of 13;20 gives 16612;4. Divided by the total sidereal time of 658;48, the result in degrees and minutes is 0;15;23. This is added to the previous position of 11;0;0;0, resulting in the True Venus at 11;0;15;23. The Velocity is 73;52.

Calculation for Saturn

On the full moon day of the month of Chaitra March/April, the time was 38;49 ghatikas. After this, the planet became Margi Direct motion, as opposed to retrograde. The remaining time was 21;11. Then, on the 13th day of the dark half of Jyeshtha May/June, the desired time was 8;58. Between the day the planet turned direct and the desired day, there are 42 days, which equals 2520 ghatikas. The sum of these is the elapsed desired time: 2559.

Now, for the total sidereal time: the remaining time on the day it turned direct was 21;11. Then, until the 2nd day of the dark half of the secular month of Ashadha June/July, the time was 30;43. Between the full moon when it turned direct and the 2nd of Ashadha, there are 60 days, which equals 3600 ghatikas. The sum of all these is the total sidereal time: 3651;54.

The Procedure

On the day the planet turned direct, the calculated true position of the planet in the almanac was 3;16;58;19. Further, the position of Saturn to be reached is 3;20;50. The interval between these is 3;14;41 degrees. This is multiplied by the elapsed desired time using the Gomutrika method A "zigzag" or "cow's urine" method of multiplication used in Indian mathematics for multi-column figures, resulting in 7721;59;45. Divided by the converted total sidereal time of 2192;14, the result in degrees is 2;6;52. Because the motion is direct, this is added to the previous position of 3;16;58;19, resulting in the True Saturn at 3;19;5;11.

The interval degrees of 3;11;31;5 are multiplied by 60, giving 18915;1. The total sidereal time is 21911...
