In the past, in India, the weekday was thought about to last from dawn to the following sunrise. Throughout the war years, clocks were advanced for different amount of times. Often, the year is given in Vikram era. An understanding of these is crucial for an astrologist. An astrologer must not be ignorant of manually casting the horoscope.


Two books are essential. One is the basic ephemeris and the various other Raphael’s “Tables of Homes”. By the process of guideline of 3, the worldly longitudes are reached for the time and also date of birth. For Rahu (Caput), the darkness planet, imply longitude is considered. Ketu (Cauda), one more shadow earth is diagonally contrary to the position of Rahu. They are also called as the Karmic earths. The Rahu-Ketu axis is very important in prognostications. The astrologist must not forget to note if any kind of world is backward. A backward planet offers various results depending upon its positioning in the graph. The ‘ayanamsa’ or precession is additionally to be written. If the ephemeris is based upon Sidereal or Nirayana method there is no demand to subtract the ayanamsa. Next, establish the longitude and also latitude of area of birth.Find the local time of birth if the given time is in standard time.

The tables also provide the cusps of 10th, 11th and 12th residences. If Equal Home system is followed, after that cusps of the ascendent and the 10th suffice. Considering that the tables give the cusps in Sayana or Tropical system, ayanamsa is to be subtracted to get the Nirayana or Sidereal cusps.


When the standard chart is prepared, the balance of ‘dasa’ at birth is to be determined from the moon’s longitude at birth. The system generally adhered to is the “Vimshottari”, that is, 120 years cycle. ‘Dasa’ indicates one’s state of being or condition of life prevailing.
