Horoscope is cast looking at celestial energies and patterns of
heavenly bodies such as sun, moon, stars and planets. So a person’s horoscope
chart will be a picture of heaven at the time of his or her birth. This can be
determined from the position of celestial bodies during a person’s birth date,
time and place.
Calculation of
Horoscope Chart: There is immense importance of time of birth in astrology. The time of birth depends on the place of birth as LMT or
Local Mean Time is used while casting horoscope. So if you are born in Mumbai
at 4:11 am IST, the time will be first converted into LMT.
The local mean time is calculated through longitude and latitude of Mumbai. Also the side real time for that particular date and place is to be calculated. After this the longitudes of planets and sun is determined using a complex mathematical formula. Nowadays, computer software helps do all this in no time.

Usage of Ephemeris to
Cast Horoscope: In India, most people use Ephemeris or ‘panchang’ to
determine the position of planets, stars and other celestial bodies. Panchang
also shows if any planets have combusted, new planets have formed or their
position has shifted. They also shed light on solar and lunar eclipse. There
are many types of panchang available, but the Ephemeris by Lahiri and the
Indian Astronomical Ephemeris published by the Positional Astronomy Centre,
Kolkata are widely used. Some ephemeris or panchang are dated back from 1900
and provide dates up to 2050 or 2100.
Casting Horoscope
from Chart: Once the horoscope chart is made using computer software or
Ephemeris and you know the positions of planets and ascendant, you can read the
chart and make predictions. The chart is divided in 12 ‘rashis’ or houses and
the 9 planets are positioned in this ‘rashis’ as they were during your birth.
The first house is your individual house and is known as your ascendant or
‘lagna’. The placement of planets in each house determines how you will fare in
your academics, career, love life and overall life.
