Ashutosh

has
achieved
numerous
scientific advancements in the past.
There are many suggestions which
say that we had so many learning centers
spread across the country. These centers
have their own rich heritage of learning
which has come down to us from one
generation to another.
Kashi (modern Varanasi) and Darbhanga
have been two important centers of
learning
especially
for
Astrology.
Astrologers belonging to these two places
have distinct calculating methods of
foretelling future that are not found
elsewhere.
In the beginning of last decade, I came to
know about an astrologer based in
Darbhanga who was known for his accurate
predictions. He was exceptionally accurate in
predicting profession of persons. I was doing
Graduation around that time and was
fortunate enough to meet him in May 2002.
After meeting him, I found his methods
were rather different from those of other
modern astrologers. These days modern
ora (means solar day) is divided into 60 Ghatis. Now, 5 ghati before and after the
sun rise is called Khanda and 5 ghati before sun set and after sun set is called
Sudha. The 20 ghati of the day is called Purna and the rest 20 ghati of the night is
called Mugdha. In this way, there are four divisions of hora lagna i.e. 10 ghati of sun rise 20
ghati of day time, 10 ghati of sun set and 20 ghati of night time. This is the basic distribution
of Hora Lagna. All you may thinking what is importance of knowing the all measurement of
Hora Lagana. Its use we will discuss later.
Now lets see the calculation of hora lagna, broadly it is of two types 1st - Which Is Based On Rasi Division ( in a rasi division these are of three types)
2nd - Based On Ghati Division
In a rasi division these are of three types, in a ghati division these are of six types.
hora of Aries is Aries, 2nd is Taurus. The 1st hora of Taurus is Gemini the 2nd hora of Taurus
is Cancer, and so on, we can find references of the method in many ancient books.
(C) The popular method of calculating Hora Lagna according to parashara is
Rasis are given two categories namely odd and even.
The lord of 1st half (0 to15) of odd rasi is Sun and the 2nd half (15 to 30 ) is Moon.
Just opposite for even Rasis, the lord of 1st half (0 to15) is Moon and the 2nd half (15 to 30 ) is
Sun.
Raghava Bhatt divides the day into 12 equal part, and the night 12 equal part and reckon each
part as a hora. Find the number of hora after birth and count from the Janma lagna according
to odd or even rasi, clockwise or anti clockwise direction. In short we will say it RB method.
The astrologer of Darbhanga says take birth time divide it by 2.5. If lagna is even sign count
from lagna and if lagna is an odd sign count from Sun position. In short we will say it DA
method. The method is almost same to Vriddh Karika only difference is counting from Sun
for odd sign.
Also to be noted is that the Darbhanga astrologers method of calculation is the same as given
in the rare classic Vaanchanadiyam translated by Raghavendra Rao, published during 2011 or
2012 issues of Saptarishis Astrology. The other methods are taken from the articles of the great
Shri Madhura Krishnamurthy Shastriji as published in 2008/2009 issues of Saptarishis
Astrology.
Further we will discuss this with various examples:Example 1: Amitabh Bachchan
DOB 11- 10- 1942
Time 2-50pm
Place-allahabad
Ista ghati -22.52
Sun rise-6/02
Sun set-17/36
1) DA method
Ista ghat-24.50/2.5=9.08
The lagna of Amitabh is Aquarius so we count 10th from Sun's position. Sun is Virgo 10th
position from Virgo is Gemini so the Hora lagna is Gemini.
2) VK method
24.50/2.5=9.08
10 lagna is Aquarius 10th from
Aquarius is Scorpio so the Hora lagna is Scorpio
3) VEN method
Sun is in Virgo, 10th from Virgo is Gemini so the Hora lagna is Gemini
4) RB method
Duration of day is 11/33 hrs = 58 minutes of 1 part. Count 11th from lagna so Sagittarius is
Hora lagna.
Now we have three hora lagna Gemini, Sagittarius, Scorpio. Amk Mercury is in moola
trikona and aspect Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces, two of them is HL.
If we take Gemini as HL
In D1 chart -lord of HL mercury is 8th from lagna with Amk, Gemini is the triangle from
GK but the main thing is that GK is not from the triangle of mercury.
In D9 chart- lord of HL is in the sign of Leo 11th from lagna with Sun and GK neither
triangle to HL nor HL lord.
In D10 chart mercury is with Mars in 11th from lagna and GK neither trikona to HL nor HL
lord.
If we take Sagittarius in D1 chart
Guru is 6th from lagna and 8th from HL in his exalted sign. Amk mercury aspect HL but
there is not a aspect of HL lord. There is no aspect on GK either HL or HL lord.
In D9 chart there is Ketu in the sign of HL and exalted Guru in 10th house with debilitated
Mars, GK is just 7th to him , and 8th lord Venus aspect them.
In D10 chart HL lord Jupiter in the house of wealth and Amk and BK both are in the 11th
house from lagna , but one notable thing is there that Amk is a 8th lord, and Amk & BK both
aspect Jupiter.
If we take Scorpio as a HL
In D1chart BK mars in 8th house from lagna with 8th house lord Mercury.
In D9 chart--- Mars is debilitated there in 10th house with exalted Jupiter, and HL and HL
lord both are aspected by 8th lord Venus.
In D10 chart HL lord Mars and Amk & 8th lord mercury both are in Sagittarius sign.
In this case we have three HL. But computing every aspect we can easily find what is
accurate .
But in D9 lord of HL Venus in his moola trikon, that is strong rasi of Venus but Venus is 8th
from lagna and trikona to GK .
In D10 Venus is 8th from HL in the rasi of GK .
3rd HL -Capricorn
In D1 chart GK is there. Amk is 12th from Capricorn and 6th from HL lord Saturn.
But in D9 Capricorn is in strong position.
In D10 chart BK Mars exalted there and lord of Capricorn Saturn also exalted with GK .
In this chart D1 is week but d9 is strong & d10 is average strong.
If we examine carefully both D1, D9 &D10 chart we find HL Scorpio is more accurate than these two.
3) VEN method
Lagna is an odd sign so we have to count 2nd from Sun position. Sun is in Leo 2nd from Leo is
Virgo so HL is Virgo
4) RB method
Duration of the day 12h 36m so if we divide this part to 12 equal part we will get one part =1h
3min. so birth time come under 3rd part from the sun rise. Lagna is an odd sign so we have to
count from Leo and 3rd part from Leo is Libra so Libra is a HL
In this case we find two HL Virgo and Libra.
If we consider Virgo as a HL in D1 chart Dara karaka Mars is there. HL Virgo is 2nd from
Amk Venus & the lord of HL and Amk both are in Leo.
In D9 Amk is placed in HL that shows very high class raj yoga. Lord of HL mercury is in
lagna. That also shows positive result.
In D10 HL lord mercury is in lagna with darakaraka mars & GK is there shows average
position of the planet.
If we consider Libra as HL- lord of Libra Venus is in lagna with so many planets that shows
average result.
In D9 chart Amk & HL lord Venus in the house of karma the position of lord of karma is in
lagna, but Venus is 12th from HL and GK Sun is triangle to HL lord that shows average
position.
In D10 chart again Venus in the house of karma and the lord of karma is exalted in the 6th
house and GK is not triangle to HL or lord of HL, strong placement of HL.
After examining carefully all points we find that Virgo is more accurate lagna compression to Libra.
1) DA Method
16.74/2.5=7th
Lagna is even sign so we have to count 7th from natal horoscope
So Scorpio will be HL
2) VK Method
Vriddh karika also shows Scorpio is HL
3) VEN Method
Asc. is even sign so we have to count 7th from moon position that is Aries as a HL
4) RB method
One part of day is 51min. BT comes under the 9th position from sun rise. Asc is even sign so
count reverse 9th from Asc .That is Virgo as a HL
If we consider Scorpio as a HL In D1 chart -- the lord of HL is in the house of income, and Amk, PK GK aspects Mars &
GK is not posited in the triangle of HL or lord of HL.
In D9 chart HL lord mars is in own sign and GK is not posited in the triangle of HL or lord
of HL.
In D10 chart mars is moola trikona sign Aries .GK and AMK both are in the triangle of
mars.
IF we take Aries as a HL In D1 chart Aries is 7th from Amk and the HL lord mars is 6th from Amk .
In D9 chart Mars is in his sign Scorpio , GK & Rahu both are in the house of HL .
In D10 chart Mars is mool trikona sign Aries. GK and AMK both are in the triangle of mars.
If we take Virgo as a HL- in D1 chart-- lord of HL mercury 8th from lagna with GK & AMK
In D9 chart-- HL lord is 6th from Amk also shows week position
In D10 chart --HL is 8th from Asc lord of HL is in Asc .
Conclusion
One remembers an astrologer of Varanasi who used to say - beta jyotish ka gyan samanya
simple niyamo mein he chhipaye hua hai Son, the real knowledge of astrology has been hidden in
simple rules of astrology.
