Hello Friends, I have jumped to the predictive part, bypassing few lessons, to make this

course more attractive. And those bypassed ones we shall keep on

taking in between. The other day I was travelling in a bus and met a school friend

after 20 years.

During our talks, after realising that I am in astrology, he asked

me to predict about himself. He gave me his date and year of birth alongwith

place, and also remembered his time too. I did not have any Ephemeris

with me at that time, neither, Calculator, neither, used paper or pen. a) I immediately gave him his Ascendant, Sun Sign, degrees of Sun at hisbirth, and which house his Sun was placed in,

and lot many things about him, added with flavour and polish to look

impressive. And boy, he was impressed.,in fact his whole family was

very much impressed, though all this is kid stuff in astrology. b) Out of 12 Houses in the chart, I was able to predict results

of about 6 for him, without using any aids to help me. Do You know that by the end of this Chapter, most of You would

be able to do the 'a' part succesfuly , just like I did ? Or at

least after few more Lessons ? Its really easy and even many

professional astrologers do not know to do this, or

are not aware, or do not know the application part even if

they are aware. Please read on patiently. Now read properly, patiently, and try to remember this after some

more re-readings on your part. HOW TO CALCULATE DEGREES OF THE SUN AT BIRTHAPPROXIMATELY WITHOUT REFERRING EPHEMERIS 1) Every Planet is moving for us who are on Earth as we see them.

So is The Sun (Actually not a Planet but treated like one. Its

actually a star or Luminary). All these planets when they move within

each sign, the starting point is measured at 0 degrees and ending

7/29/2019 Mental Calculations

at 30 degrees Which means that if we count the 12 signs and

multiply by 30 degrees we get the figure of 360 Degrees.

Dont we say that My Moon is at 6 degrees Sagittarius

or Jupiter is at 25 degrees Cancer etcetra ? Well, all these planets have their daily motions, like we know that

each planet travels daily at this speed (This knowledge comes from

past observation from Observatories and astronomical Statistics)

Some planets have very fast speed like The Moon which

takes around 2 and a half days to enter and leave a sign.,

some have very slow speed like Saturn which takes two

and a half years to enter and leave a sign.

We will come to the daily motions of the Planets in our

forthcoming chapters.

 At the moment we will concentrate on The Sun. The Sun

travels approximately at speed of daily motion of 1 Degree. 

It takes therefore one month to stay in a sign and cross over

to next sign. (Remember this) The Sun changes sign every month approximately on

15th or 16th 0r 17th (Remember this). Which also means that on 15th the Sun would be at0 degrees, in any sign which it has just entered,

and 1 degrees on 16th and

2 degrees on 17th and so on till next 15th when it is at 30 degrees and

then has to cross over to the next sign and again would be

starting at 0 degrees. For example a native born on the

28th of January of any year would be having Sun at

approximately 14 degrees ( 0 degrees on 15th +

14 days ). In this way one can know the degrees of the

Sun at birth approximately.(Calculate Your own Sun degrees first in mind then check

Your Chart). HOW TO KNOW THE SUN SIGN WITHOUT REFERRING

EPHEMERIS

Giving below the Dates each Month when The Sun normally

changes and to which Sign? (The best way to remember this

is to first remember your Own Sun sign and start from that

month )

Jan 15th to Feb 15th - Sun enters and remains in Capricron

Feb 15th to March 15th -Sun remains in Acquarius

March 15th to April 15th- Sun remains in Pisces

April 15th to May 15th - Sun remains in Aries

May 15th to June 15th - Sun remains in Taurus

June 15th to July 15th - Sun remains in Gemini

July 16th to Aug 15th - Sun remains in Cancer

Aug 16th to Sept 16th- Sun remains in Leo

Sept 17th to Oct 16th - Sun remains in Virgo

Oct 16th to Nov 16th - Sun remains in Libra

Nov 16th to Dec 15th- Sun remains in Scorpio.

Dec 15th to Jan 15th -Sun remains in Sagittarius.

(The above are approximate dates -maybe not exactly same

days as mentioned 1-2 days here n there) (The above position would be shown in Charts made for

all those staying in India or who have made their charts

calculated here-for western people the Sun sign may be

one sign ahead and they have to deduct the ayanamsha toget the above Sun sign- which is why I have asked all members

to download the Software and put KP Ayanamsha and then

subsequently make all charts ) Example - if I am born on June 28th as per above table, my Sun

sign would be Gemini.

Note- (When any of Your friends is born on say 15th

or 16th dont predict his Sun sign without referring the Ephemeris) HOW TO PREDICT WHICH HOUSE SUN WOULD BE

WITHOUT REFERRING TO THE ACTUAL CHART OR EPHEMERIS. (Remember this By Heart) If the Birth is at time of-

Sunrise- then Sun would be in 1st House or Ascendant.

At Noon - The Sun would be in 10th House

7/29/2019 Mental Calculations

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mental-calculations 4/8

At Sunset - The Sun would be in 7th house

At Midnight - Sun would be in 4th house. (In above,take the movement of The Sun as clockwise and not anti-clock

wise) In India when the Sunrise is almost at same time throughout the year

(Except at

winter time nearing December when it may be late by 1 hour or so), we can

roughly

take the following slots as position of Sun for Local birth time .

Local Mean time or LMT we would be talking in later lessons - But

will explain in short. Though the clock will show 4.30 am for a person in

Bombay and for a person in Calcutta too, but the sky would

show Sunrise for a person in Calcutta in Summer, and still nightfor a person in Bombay. That is known in crude language as

local Mean time. Birth time at :-

Morning 5am to 7am - Sun would be in 1st House

Morning 7 - 9am - Sun would be in 12th House

Morning 9 to 11am - Sun would be in 11th House

Morning 11 to 1 Noon - Sun would be in 10th House

Noon 1 - 3 pm - Sun would be in 9th HouseEvening 3pm to 5 pm - Sun would be in 8th House

Evening 5pm to 7pm (Sunset)- Sun would be in 7th House

Evening 7pm to Night 9 pm - Sun would be in 6th house

Night 9pm to 11 pm Sun would be in 5th House

Night 11.00pm Midnight to 1.00 am after midnight - 4th house

Late night 1 am to early morning 3 am - Third House

Early morning 3am to 5 am - Sun would be in 2nd House. Thus if someone says that ' I was born on February 28that 10am morning, in Bombay', you can immediately tell him

safely that Your Sun is in 11th House.

The above is a very crude method of predicting, not to be

used unnecessarily, but when you are travellng or sitting in

a group with no means of equipment like Ephemeris, Computer

etc. or once in a while when You are sure about the results,

7/29/2019 Mental Calculations

You may try out making a chart on a piece of paper,

filling in whatever you know or have found out, and then ask your contact to

open his chart and match the same. That would really amaze him and make

him

a fan of Your prowess. But do not forget certain countries and placeshave bizzare (A wrong word actually) Sunrise and sunset timings, not

as per India, so better avoid predicting mentally for those cases.

 

- For those people in whose country/place

and that particular season or time of the year, if the

Sun rises late,or early, then You have to shift the timings

backward, or the Sun forward accordingly after some study.

(The foreign students can check their Sunrise and Sunset timings

throughout the year, in their cities of residence, andprepare such a chart for themselves ,after little bit deductions

or additions in timings, for their use). One more advantage - When You happen to see the chart of the native,

and check the position of The Sun, you also immediately realise

whether the chart is printed rightly or wrongly,as per the time of

birth he mentions, cause at times people forget to say rightly- am or

pm to the computer chart maker or he does not listen properly

and feeds in wrongly, and then the poor native shows around the wrong

chart to all astrologers, with nothing matching his own life. I have myselfdetected a few wrongly made charts by this method. Okay, now to the last part of this Chapter. HOW TO FIX ACSENDANT WITHOUT REFERRING TO

THE CHART OR EPHEMERIS. I do not think that this is necessary to explain, You should

be able to guess this one for yourself by now, but letme explain, yet. Once You know the position of the Sun, finding the

Ascendant is easy, solving a childs puzzle and gaining

the same happiness and joy.

7/29/2019 Mental Calculations

Suppose one was born at 10.30 am in month of June of say

day 20th. Therefore Sun would be in Gemini and in 11th house.

Now count anticlockwise till you reach the 1st house.

You will count thus-

11th house Gemini - Sign No. 312 th house Cancer - Sign No.4

1st House Leo - Sign No.5

Therefore the ascendant is Leo. You can do this in your mind without the use of

Writing Pad or Pen. Take another example-

Birth on 10th February Time 10.00pm night.

Sun would be in Capricorn as per previous table given.Sun would be in 5th house as per previous table given.

Start counting anticlockwise .

5th House Capricorn

6th House Acquarius

7th house Pisces

8th house Aries

9th house Taurus

10th house Gemini

11th House Cancer12th house Leo

and There You are

1st House Virgo. Now we will take one example which will incorporate all that we have learnt

uptil now in this Chapter- Birth New Delhi-

Date - 24th AugustTime 2.00pm after Noon. What is the Sun Sign ? - Answer Leo.

What is the Degrees of The Sun ? Answer 7 Degrees ( From 17th till

24th its 7 days therefore 7 degrees)

Which house is Sun Placed in ? Answer - 9th House.

7/29/2019 Mental Calculations

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/mental-calculations 7/8

What is the Ascendant ? Answer Counting anticlockwise I reach

to the Ascendant as Sagittarius.

(The above is wrong results actually, if You make a chart

in the computer, you will find, Sun is placed in 10th house,

and not in the 9th ,and ascendant is not Sagittarius but Scorpio. Why did

I make a mistake ? Because in August the Sun rises 1 and a

half hour early than the Sunrise of January, and hence

even the noon comes earlier. Therefore the timings

have to be changed accordingly in my table,which

I have made. If You use same timings given above and

change only the month to January, you shall find that the

Sun has moved now to 9th House .

Therefore, please tread carefully in suchmatters). Suppose we presume that the above birth statistics was right,then,

How could I make predictons after arriving at above statistics ?

Because -

a) I know what are the characteristics of The Ascendant Sagittarius

and can talk in flowery language about the positive points of this

Ascendant rising and the nature of the native, thus.

b) I know the effects of Sun in Leo what it can be .

c) I know also the effects of the Sun in 9th House.d) I know which house Lord ship The Sun has in this chart (The

Sun is coincidentally Lord of the 9th house in this chart and

also placed in the 9th).

e) I know that Sun is aspecting (we will learn about this later)

the 3rd house and what effects would this produce. For advanced predictions -

a) I know the constellation in which The Sun is placed in this chart

and can give the effects in narration.b) I may also be knowing which sign Saturn would be in the

 year of birth whatever it may be ,by heart and probably right.

That would take care of predictions of further 3 houses. Etc. Etc.

I am sure most of you by the end of next 3-6 months should

be able to give Basic predictions (Not advanced) without

having to use any other means of aid at your disposal, but

 just staring in space and thinking and using your mind and logic.

ie. solving charts mentally. The above is enough material for you to study and practise

this week on Your own and others charts and , hope

 you must have benefitted much from the same. (c) 2007 Krishna Kumar Bagri. Exclusive Jyotish (Astrology) Lessons provided by Bhaskar Jyotish, Mumbai,India,By Downloading these Exclusive lessons, you have acquired a single-user ,
