Tithi Pravesha
Introduction By Sanjay Rath and P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
Tithi Pravesha is the Annual Horoscopy of Jyotish. The Tajika System of annual horoscopy employs a chart cast for every year of life based on the solar return (i.e. sun’s return to its natal sidereal position). Many scholars of history and Vedic Studies have held a view that this system is primarily not ‘Vedic Astrology’ and might be a borrowed feature from Yavanas or Tajikas, who interacted with Indian scholars. Notwithstanding the peculiar yoga’s like Iṭṭasāla, Easarpha etc.
Sixteen Divisions
Sixteen divisional ascendants studied from a very basic standpoint. Getting to know how the ascendants work in life is important as that is the staring point of studying the sixteen D-Charts. This is a start and details are available at the Parasara Jyotisa Course Year-2 http://parasarahora.com.
Putin’s Chart
In 1999, Russian president Boris Yeltsin dismissed his prime minister and promoted former KGB officer Vladimir Putin in his place. In December 1999, Yeltsin resigned, appointing Putin president, and he was re-elected in 2004. In April 2005, he made a historic visit to Israel—the first visit there by any Kremlin leader. Putin could not run for the presidency again in 2008, but was appointed prime minister by his successor, Dmitry Medvedev.
Pranab Mukherjee next President
Śrī Pranab Mukherjee is the presidential candidate of the ruling Congress Party while the other serious contender of the opposition is Śrī P.A.Sangma who was originally pushed by Naveen Patnaik and later supported by the BJP. Pranab Mukherjee has now got the support of Mulayam Singh (UP) and Bengal.
Ajai Bhambi gives a chart of Śrī Pranab Mukherjee with the date of birth as 1st February 1935 at 5.40’pm Kandi, India 88 E 02′, 23 N 57′.
