RR ji, I always thought that both my posts earlier were aligned to the hread :smt017 Well, I am one of those who hold the "myth" that we are less capable in predicting than the ancients were. Let me state what drives me to this belief. If I trust Varahamihira's classic why should I doubt that he mad...

RR ji, IMO (and without meaning to offend you), the longest surviving modern myth is that "Numbers can measure everything". The thread seems to be rooted on to this. For e.g., I feel the percentage of accurate predictions should necessarily take a back seat in comparison to the study of  techni...

Welcome to 2015 the year resonating to #8 Were the ancient divinators really all that accurate as often portrayed to be? How do you know?? How can you say??? Please share if you know...! Regards Rohiniranjan RR ji, It is quite unlikely that anyone will have empirical evidence to conclude either way...

Dear CRS ji, Phrases such as "Flow of Time" may strike at times as poetical assumptions and even simply flowery, and similarly other analogical references too; however, they do have a useful purpose in a subject which is all about symbolism and symbol-interpretation. Hence, astrology tends to be st...

In my observation, most astrologers face this situation. I have also seen the reverse, if you may call it the Astrologer's fluidity! When the "flow" of time is right, the difficultly simplicity of astrology is so clear. One can see the reflection effortlessly. When the flow is obstructed, resisted,...

Thanks RR ji. There is no denying the fact that we are doing a bad job collecting and analysing data. The practitioners do get access to valuable data that can possibly throw light on many things that we do not seem to understand/relate to today. "For instance, it is an assumption at best that "we a...

RR ji, I am one of those who believes that current Jyothish is inferior to that centuries back. HOW DO I KNOW? I agree with you that we have to distinguish between KNOWING and FEELING. We all know that some of Nadi practitioners give astoundingly  accurate account of the past of the querist. Th...

Vinay ji, Kudos for the great effort. Just a suggestion, if you have not considered it already. Instead of bundling a large data set with the software, you can consider hosting it on the web and accessing it through Kundalee. This will eliminate the Software release dependency on the data. You can k...

As per my understanding the term "reader" in the above caveat does not refer to the astrologer but to the seeker.

Rishi ji, A good choice for examples would be charts where large number of Grahas are in one sign. Tenants should be so much over-powering that the lord that he/she would appear marginalized. :) Nice idea :) An option also to take a chart with a large number of planets having the disposotor afflict...

RR ji, You have 6 or more horsepower than me (meaning 6 years or so younger!), so schooling might have started half a dozen later than me, and hence fresher and more vivid in your mind :) I wish it was. I am sure you have read more than I have through out. In the above analogy and the text to follow...

CRS ji, I personally do not think the points are imaginary at all! Invisible, impalpable perhaps but so is light, if you think about it! We do not see light, but only that which gets lit-up! Light, therefore, is not imaginary, just invisible! Similarly, the *light* in the astrological framework. Th...

.. RR ji, Although lagna is "what is rising in the East", given the fact that it is due to an illusion of Zodiac and the 9 grahs moving around the Earth, would we not be correct in treating Lagna as an indirect reference to the observer on Earth, the actual anchor point? Well, I wish there was a wa...
