Then how both the systems can

be correct at the same time & still

be different? We know that

western system is basically a

solar system & not based on

stars. Here zero degree refers to

a position with respect to the Sun

coordinates or the Vernal

equinoctial point i.e. the

ascending node of the ecliptic on

the equator. It does not have to

do any thing with the Aries star

whereas in the Nirayan system,

0 degree means a position in the

direction of Aries star. Actually

zero degree of sayan system

which never refers to Aries star

has mistakenly been taken as

zero degree of Aries. This small

anomaly has led to the confusion

between the Sayan & the

Nirayan system. We should not

confuse overselves & say that

Sun enters into Aries on 22nd

M h W h ld

the Solar coordinate system.

With this clarification let us also

clarify that astrological predictions

given as per the sayan system

does not have sound astrological

basis. We can not & should not

take the properties of various signs

same for Sayan and Nirayan

systems.

Let us understand what is

ayanamsa which makes all this

difference in the two systems.

Ayanamsa is basically precession

of the equinoxes. It can be

understood better when we look

at our galaxy. We know that our

solar system is a part of galaxy

called "Milky Way" which looks

like fig. C & our solar system is

moving around the centre of the

milky way as shown in fig. D. Sun

takes roughly 26,000 years

appo to complete one circle

of the sun, the position of stars

changes by 50.3 arc seconds

every year and it takes roughly

20 minutes 24 seconds more time

for earth to complete the circle

around Sun with respect to these

stars. That is why the sidereal

year is 365.256363 days

compared to solar year of

365.2422 days only.

To sum up we Know that Indian

astrology is based on stars and

any planet passing through the

particular star gives the results of

that star or changes its behaviour

acco-rding to the stars it passes

through. Only Nirayan system

gives us computations of planets

with respect to stars; Sayansystem refers to planet positions

in solar coordinate system.

Hence only Nirayan system

should be followed for

predictions in astrology. n
