17 by Martin Gansten I always use the topocentric moon, for everything. The practice of doing so in the context of astrology was introduced as a result of the increased emphasis on mathematical precision in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries (both Morin and Placidus advocated it, though their published works show that they didn't necessarily practise what they preached, at least not all the time). I have never seen it discussed in Sanskrit sources, but then again, astrological Sanskrit texts very rarely concern themselves with any kind of astronomical calculations. https://astrology.martingansten.com/ Quote Sat Apr 30, 2022 9:20 am
