Casting the Annual
Chart
Part
1
1.
Solar Return/ Varsha-Pravesh: The longitude of the Sun
at birth forms the basis of the annual chart. The annual chart for any given
year of one’s life is the horoscope cast for the exact moment when the Sun
attains, during that year, the same longitude as it had at the time of birth.
According to Surya Siddhanta, as modified, a solar year has a duration of 365
days 15 Ghatis 22 Palas, and 57.5 Vipals; corresponding to 365 days six hours 9
minutes and 9.72 seconds. It means that the Sun completes one round of the 12
signs of zodiac during this time. After completing one round, the Sun returns
to its original position time and again. Thus if we add 365 days 6 hours 9.72
minutes to the weekday and time of birth, we get the weekday and time next year
when the Sun would regain the same longitude as it had at birth. This would go
on repeating every year. This is called the solar return or Varsha-Pravesh.
2. Dhruvanka: If we ignore the complete
weeks out a year (365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes & 9.72 seconds), we get 1
day, 6 hour, 9 minute & 9.72 seconds. This period is constant for a year.
Double the constant would give us the constant for two years and so on. This
constant is called Dhruvanka. Adding
this Dhruvanka for any number of
completed years to the weekday and time of birth would give us the weekday and
time of Varsha-Pravesh for the year
to commence. (The weekday thus obtained generally falls on the native’s actual
birthday or at the most it may fall on a weekday before or after the actual
birthday.

Process of Casting an Annual Chart
The first requirement of
casting an annual Chart is to obtain the birth Chart of the native or to
calculate the birth chart itself. Next comes the determination of Varsh-Pravesh and then the annual chart
is prepared for the Varsh-Pravesh so
obtained. Thus following steps are required in casting an annual chart:
1.
Note the weekday of the birth of the
native along with his date, time and place of birth.
2.
Calculate the longitudes of lagna, 10th house and all the planets
and prepare the birth horoscope if not already prepared and calculate Vimshotri
dasha during the period.
3.
Decide the particular calendar year for which the annual is to be prepared.
4.
For the calendar year in question, find the native’s completed years of life by
deducting the year of birth from the current year. For example, if the annual
chart for 1946-47 is to be prepared for a native born in 1889, by deducting
1889 from 1946, we get 57 years of completed years of life and annual chart for
58 year is to be prepared.
5.
Find out the Dhruvanka for the number
of completed years from the above table. For example for 57 years of completed
life, the Dhruvanka will be Dhruvanka for 55 years plus Dhruvanka for two years i.e. 6 days, 2
hours, 23 minutes and 55 seconds + 2 days, 12 hours, 18 minutes and 19 sec = 8
or 1 day, 14 hours, 42 minutes and 14 seconds. (from number of days, multiples
of 7 should be ignored).
