WORKING WITH HINDU ANNUAL CHARTS

Till quite recently, Vedic Astrologers were using the Tajak system of annual horoscopy to supplement their readings of the natal charts. The Tajak system is elaborated in the Vedic astrology text Tajak Neelkanthi and is a system derived from Arabic astrology. However, Pt. Sanjay Rath of the Sri Jagannath Centre (SJC), gave the technique of the Tithi Pravesha Chart, from his lineage. This system of Hindu astrology is incredible for its accuracy and in many ways holds the key to a fuller interpretation of Vedic charts. The word tithi refers to the lunar date which is equivalent to the angular distance between the radical Sun and the Moon in the natal chart. When the Sun returns to the sign it occupied in the natal chart at the time of birth, and exhibits the same angular distance with the Moon as it had at birth, a chart is cast for that moment. This is the Vedic/ Hindu astrological birthday of the native, as it were, and can be used with efficacy to gauge the astrological propensities
