    Geographic and geocentric latitudes measure the position of places on Earth. Geographic latitude is calculated assuming Earth is a perfect sphere, while geocentric latitude takes into account Earth's actual spheroid shape. For astrological purposes, there is little difference between the geographic and geocentric latitude of a place, so the geographic latitude can be used alone in calculations. Rasimanas refer to the rising periods of the twelve zodiac signs, which vary based on latitude. Understanding rasimanas is essential for determining ascendants, houses, and sunrise/sunset in a horoscope based on a place's latitude.

    CHAPTER IV.

    RASIMANAS

    50.

    Geographic and Geocentric Latitudes.

    The latitudes of places marked in any ordinary


    atlas are the geographical latitudes. Because
    they are calculated on the supposition that the
    earth is a perfect sphere, while on the other
    hand, the flattened ends at the two poles, make
    it a spheriod, so that, the latitude measured from
    the true centre of the spheriod, is the geocentric
    latitude. For astrological purposes, it would be
    hardly worthwhile making any distinction
    whatever between the geocentric and geographic
    latitude of a place. For instance, the geographic latitude of Bangalore is 12 57' and its
    geocentric 12 52'. We can adopt the former
    alone for astrological calculations.
    51. Rasimanas.Rasimanas mean the
    rising periods of the twelve signs of the zodiac.
    It is impossible to find out the actual Lagna
    (Ascendant) in a horoscope or the different
    Bhavas (Houses) or the sunrise and sunset in any
    place without a knowledge of the Rasimanas r
    which vary from Akshamsa (latitude) *o
    Akshamsa. It must be noted that the Rasimana
