Ganitham in Astrology

Ganitham, as the word implies, is math. It can be of help with very accurate predictions which can drill down to minutes and seconds. Asthamangala Prasnam will have heavy calculations and this tool aids in those calculations as well as in error corrections.

Without a deep understanding of astrology, there is little scope in seeking god. Astrology can deduce the happening of something up to a shockingly high accuracy. To understand this, we must first understand the basic principles of how Ganitha(math) is used in astrology.

Every planet in our solar system is constantly at motion. Even our entire solar system is moving as a whole. With the help of Ganitha, one can say where a planet will be at any point in time.For this, it uses zodiac, stars, and planets.

Thus, even a variation of one minute can lead to vast differences in predictionswhen compared to real life.The 360⁰ that the Earth takes to rotate around the Sun is divided into 12 signs of the zodiac, each sign taking 30⁰. The orbit is also divided into 27 stars, each taking 13⁰20’. This space taken by a star is termed star zone.There is a branch called Sashyamsain astrology which divides a zodiac into 60 equal parts.

In addition to all this, one has to take into account of the nature of the five elements as well.
