Finding Correct Latitude And Longitude of a Place

In astrology, latitude and longitude of a place is required to cast a birth chart. Without accurate coordinates of the place, it is not possible to get correct birth chart. Traditional way of finding latitude and longitude is looking up tables available in various books and ephemeris. Now a days there are also some online directory and latitude/ longitude database that can be used for finding latitude and longitude of a place. These are few of the websites which are very useful in finding correct latitude and longitude of a place -

Google Earth software is also useful software for finding precise longitude and latitude. It is freely available for download from Google, just search "Google Earth".

Fortuna And Other Arabic Parts

In our KP System discussion forum, we are having an intense discussion on the fast moving point 'Fortuna' (also called Pars Fortuna or Part of Fortune). Shri K. S. Krishamurthi, the inventor of KP System, mentioned about Fortuna in the second reader, but he really didn't given much detail. The application and examples are also missing. While doing some googling, I found this article very useful. Please check it out.

Cricket Astrology Discussion and Predictions

This is Cricket World Cup time and everybody is interested in knowing who is going to win the cup, who are the players going to perform well etc. etc.

But there is no single place on Internet where you can go and check the opinion and predictions of different astrologers. Keeping that in mind, I have created one discussion forum for cricket astrology. This forum is for discussing astrological predictions on various sports, though primarily cricket. There are various branches of astrology and various astrologers talk about different things. But there is no such place where all astrologers can come together, discuss and share their predictions, techniques. As the World Cup 2007 is around, I wanted to create that platform for astrologers. This is also a place that I want to use for developing astrology technique for sports predictions.

To start with, let us predict who will win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007. Here is the URL for the forum CricAstro - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cricastro/

K.P. Astrology Books

Books and Books and Books and ……. So I am writing a lot about books. I have written about books on classical astrology and books on Lal Kitab (at least you have download links now.) I am also planning to write all books available on Lal Kitab subject. Recently there are lots of books on this subject that are not just translation/transliteration.

Anyway, I am often asked about what book one should read to lean KP System. Nowadays there are many books on the subject. KP's own publications brings few new books every year in the market. But I have my own opinion. IMHO one should read only six readers by Sri K.S. Krishnamurti i.e. -

1. Casting the Horoscope (1st reader)
2. Fundamental Principles of Astrology (2nd reader)
3. Predictive Stellar Astrology (3rd reader)
4. Marriage, Married life and children (4th reader)
5. Transit Gocharapala Nirayam (5th reader)
6. Horary Astrology (6th reader)

These books will give you sufficient idea of the system. I am not very sure but probably "Astrology & Ahrishta", the magazine edited by Sri KSK, is also available in hard-bound format. If that is available, you can purchase them. Those are another good way to learn Krishnamurti Padhdhati. Other than Sri KSK's own books, there are not too many good books to learn the system. I remember two other books those are sufficient good. One is "Nakshatra Chintamani" (as far as I remember the name) by Mr. Bhat (again I don't remember the full name of author). This book is available in xerox format only. Other books are three books set by Mr. Jyotindra Hasve. Primarily these books are in Marathi and I am not aware whether Hindi/English edition is available or not. But I guess it would be available. As I told in introduction there are many books and many authors. But these are the books that I like most.

P.S.: I also receive lots of requests for available KP software. I am planning to write in detail about that. Meanwhile you can have a look on KP astrology software of the company promoting this blog.
