Formula For Calculating The Lagna g403l

Format for Calculating Lagna (with example) - (courtesy - Prof. E. Ravindran) Lagna / Ascendant Calculation Input : 1. P.O.B, 2. T.O.B and 3. D.O.B From Lahiri's Indian Ephemeris (page 144 to 158) Place Longitude : Place Lattitude : 1. I.S.T of birth (AM / PM) : h m s 2. LMT correction (where the place longitude/lattitude is available and next column of longitude) 3. LMT at P.O.B (AM / PM) (step 1 + 2) 4. S.T at 12 Noon on Birth Date, Birth Month and Birth Year for 82 deg 30 mins (from Table of Asc : Table no. 1 pg 2 & 3) 5. Correction for Birth Year : (From Table of Asc Table no. 11 page 3 & 4) 6. S.T at 12 Noon on Birth Date, Birth Month and Birth Year for 82 deg and 30 mins (step 4 + 5) 7. Correction for Place of Birth (where the place longitude / lattitude is available and last column) 8.

Note : a) if T.O.B is AM S.T = step 8 - step 11 if step 8 is < step 11, then S.T = (step 8 + 24 hours) - step 11 b) if T.O.B is PM S.T = step 8 + step 11 c) if S.T > 24 hours then subtract 24 hours from it to get S.T d) 1) for southern latitude, add 12 hours to the S.T as Modified Sidereal Time (MST). if M.S.T > 24 hours then subtract 24 hours to get M.S.T 2) for southern latitude, add 6 signs to the Ascendant. If Ascendant is > 12 signs then subtract 12 signs to get the ascendant. Example Calculation Sheet Lagna / Ascendant Calculation Input : 1. P.O.B : Bangalore 2. T.O.B : 11 hours 54 mins (PM) 3.
