How is a Horoscope Constructed by Date of Birth in Indian Astrology?

The next important step is to determine the exact positions of the planets, lunar nodes, and ascendant (rising) sign at the time and place of birth. To do this, an astrologer will consult an ephemeris — an astronomical almanac detailing celestial bodies’ coordinates for any given date and time. The geocentric positions of planets along the zodiac are noted — i.e. as viewed from the earth’s center. The Indian system uses the Sidereal Zodiac which accounts for the precession of equinoxes, while Western astrology utilizes the Tropical Zodiac. The ascendant sign is the zodiac sign rising over the eastern horizon at the time of birth. This and other house cusps are calculated per Indian guidelines. <a href="https://medium.com/@indianastrologi/how-is-a-horoscope-constructed-by-date-of-birth-in-indian-astrology-9d0eb2307785">Website</a>
