The Essence of Tajika Astrology

The planet reached before the desired time original: "ishtakala" in the sign of Taurus etc. is 1s 0° 0' 0". The planet to be reached after the desired time in the mansion of Rohini etc. is 2s 10° 0' 0". The difference in degrees between both is 1s 0° 0' 0". This is multiplied by the elapsed time in ghatis A ghati is a unit of time equal to 24 minutes 49;12,5, resulting in 59;54,0. This is divided by the total duration of the mansion, 626 ghatis. The result in degrees etc. is 9° 26' 51". When added to the previous planetary position of 1s 0° 0' 0", the result is 1s 9° 26' 51". This is the True Sun at the desired time.

Now, for the calculation of the daily motion original: "gatisadhana"—"Khakhaviyat" etc.—48,000 original: "khakhakhavasuveda," a word-numeral where kha=0, vasu=8, veda=4 seconds Vikala (seconds of arc) are divided by the total duration of the mansion in ghatis; the result is the motion in minutes Kala (minutes of arc). The remainder is clear. In a uniform mansion, these 48,000 seconds are used because a planet travels 200 minutes in one quarter Pada of a mansion, and 800 minutes in four quarters. Therefore, 200 minutes in one quarter are multiplied by sixty and divided by the total duration of the mansion; the result is the motion in minutes. The same should be understood for the other three quarters. Now, because the mansion consists of three quarters referring to a specific calculation step, 60 multiplied by 60 60 x 60 = 3600 is multiplied and divided by the total duration of the mansion; the result is the motion in minutes. Thus, 36,000 divided by the total duration of 626 gives a motion of 57' 30". It should be known that the standard measure for one quarter of a mansion is three degrees and twenty minutes.

When reduced and divided by the total duration of 3673 likely a fractional reduction of 61;13, the result in degrees etc. is 2° 7' 51". Added to the previous position of 0s 13° 20' 0", the True Moon at the desired time is 0s 15° 27' 51".
