Calculation of Ascentant (Lagna) for Epoch

The Calculation is done in 4 parts A, B, C and D as given below:

Part A: Calculation of Corrected Sidereal Time for the Epoch at Noon (CSTN):

H M S

1. Sidereal Time at 12 Noon on DDMM1900 @82030’ (Table I) __ __ __

2. Correction for the Year (______) (Table II) (±) __ __ __

3. Correction for Place (Last Column of Principal Cities) (±) __ __ __

Total (1+2+3): Corrected Sideral Time at Noon (CSTN)- A: __ __ __

Part B: Calculation of Corrected Time Interval for LMT (CTIL):

H M S

1. ZST/IST __ __ __

2. Correction for Place (2nd Last Column of Principal Cities) __ __ __

Total (LMT for Epoch) : 1+2 (+) __ __ __

3. Difference from Noon __ __ __

(-) __ __ __ __ __ __

4. Correction for Time Interval (Table IV) (±) __ __ __

5. Corrected Time Interval for LMT (CTIL) B = 3 (±) 4 __ __ __

Part C: Corrected Sidereal Time for the Epoch (CSTE) = A+B __ __ __

__ __ __ __ __ __

Part D: Calculation of Ascendant for CSTE
