5. Casting of a
Monthly Chart
1. A
monthly chart is usually casted to ascertain/ confirm a particular event in a
native’s life. For example Mr. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated on 21 May 1991,
during his 47th year life. In order to make a monthly chart for May
1991, we first refer back to chart No. 26, Annual chart for Rajiv Gandhi for
1990-91. It is seen that longitude of the Sun is Leo 3 degree 49 min 4 sec.
From Ephemeris of 1991, the date & time during the month of May (and before
date of the event), we find that the Sun attains in Taurus this longitude of
the Sun. The exact time of Maas-Pravesh
is worked out from the Ephemeris for May 1991 as under:
a)
The longitude of Sun, at 5:30 AM on 19 May 1991 is Taurus 3 degree 47 min 57
sec.
b)
The longitude of Sun on 20 May 1991 at 5:30 AM is Taurus 4 degree 45 min 43
sec. Thus our required degree of Sun falls between 5:30 on 19 May 1991 and 5:30
AM on 20 May 1991.
c)
The Sun must move another 1 min 7 sec from the time on 5:30 at 19 May 1991 to
reach the required longitude of the Sun.
d)
The movement of Sun in 24 hours is 57 min 46 sec. Therefore the time taken for
the Sun to attain the required longitude after 5:30 AM on 19 May 1991 is 27 min
50 sec.
e)
Therefore the Maas-Pravesh time will
be on 19 May 1991 at 5: 57:50 AM (IST).
2.
Alternatively
with the help of Ephemeris of May 1945, find out Maas-Pravesh in May 1945, which happens to be on 18 May 1945 at
Friday 11h, 1 min, 45 sec. Add Dhruvank
for 46 completed years, which as per table is 1 day, 19h, 1 min, 27 sec. The
total would give the Maas-Pravesh in
May 1991 as 7th day (Sunday) on 19th May at 6h, 3m, 12
sec. It may be noted that this Maas-Pravesh
differs from the one calculated by previous method by over 5 minutes. The lagna
in either case be in Taurus but in different Navamsha. The readers may cast the
monthly based on either Maas-Pravesh
timing and decide the utility of the method for themselves.
3.
Based on Maas-Pravesh of 5th,
57 min, 50 sec on 19 May 1991, at Bombay the monthly chart will be as under:
Chart
No. 46: Rajiv Gandhi: Monthly Chart for the month of May 1991
6.
Muntha in Monthly Chart
As stated earlier in the
chapter on “Muntha”, the Muntha is in lagna at the time of birth at the same
degree as the lagna itself. Every year it progresses by one sign or every month
2 degree, 30 min. For placing Muntha in a monthly chart, first work out its position
in the annual chart. For example in above mentioned case, since the annual
chart is for 47th year, the completed years are 46 and hence the
Muntha will be in Gemini at the same degree as the lagna in birth chart i.e. 14
degree 36 min. The native was born in Aug 1990, and before May 1991, he had
completed nine months of his 47th year. In nine months, the Muntha
would have advanced by 9x 2 degree 30 min or 22 degree 30 min. Adding this
value to the Muntha in annual chart, we get:
Gemini 14 degree 36 min +
22 degree 30 min = Cancer 7 degree 6 min.
7.
The Maasesha or the Lord of the Month
In a monthly chart, the
role & significance of Lord of the month is the same as that of lord of the
year in an annual chart. The mode of selection is also similar. In the annual
chart, there are five offices bearers (lagna lord of birth & annual chart,
Muntha lord, Tri-rashi pati, &
Dinratri-pati) out of which one who is is the strongest in Panch-vargiya Bala and aspects lagna is
chosen as lord of the year. In case of monthly chart, there is an additional
sixth office bearer, the lord of sign occupied by Sun in case of day Maas-Pravesh or the lord of the Moon
sign lord if Maas-Pravesh is in the
night. In the above mentioned example, the lord of the month is Sun.
