The three most important determinants while casting a horoscope are
date of birth, exact time of birth and place of birth. Only if these three are
provided accurately, one can determine the position of celestial beings and
longitude and latitude of earth. Let us understand in detail why place of birth
is important in astrology.
Effect of sun: It is quite obvious that the place of birth determines the effect of
sun. For instance, if you were born in India in morning, it would be night in the
US or evening in the UK. Sun is an important celestial object in astrology and
hence it is important to know the place of birth to determine the effect of sun
in that area during the time and day of your birth.
Position of planets: The effect of other planets also varies as per the place of birth.
For instance the effect of Saturn or Shani on a person born in India would be
different to a person born in Africa.
Difference in latitudes
and longitudes: Latitudes are imaginary lines
parallel to equator and longitudes are horizontal imaginary lines, parallel to
Prime Meridian. The place where they intersect on earth defines a single point,
for instance, Delhi is at longitude of 77013'E and latitude of 28039'N. This
position is of utmost importance in astrology, as only this exact intersection
can determine the position of celestial beings at the time of birth. In big
cities, you might also need to mention the area of your birth place but in
small cities, the city’s name will suffice.
Determining standard time:
Standard time varies from place to place. For
instance there is a difference of more than one and a half hour between Assam
and Gujarat. It is important to know the local time in your place of birth. In
India 820 30'E is treated as the standard meridian and the Indian standard time
is derived from that.
Daylight saving: In some countries, the duration for night and day varies each
season. At North and South Pole the difference is as long as 6 months, with day
lasting for 6 months in summer and nights for 6 months in winter. In other
countries at high latitudes, the difference is from 6 to 18 hours. Therefore,
the birth place is an important determinant to know the standard time in the
area you were born.
