Panchanga and Your Horoscope – Vedic Astrology Seminar

The Panchanga and Your Horoscope seminar by Pandit Katti Narahari explores Panchanga as the quality of time and examines how its five limbs can be applied to the interpretation of a natal horoscope. Drawing on traditional Jyotish and the Katti Parampara, the seminar connects the principles of Vāra, Tithi, Nakṣatra, Yoga and Karaṇa with planetary influences, the qualities of time and practical horoscope analysis.

The Five Limbs of Panchanga

Study the five components of Panchanga and their associated grahas and tattvas:

• Vāra: The weekday and its planetary lord, including the role of Varesha in the horoscope.
• Tithi: The lunar day, its lord and devata, and its significance in understanding relationships and life experiences.
• Nakṣatra: The lunar mansions, their devatas, elemental associations and application in Jyotish.
• Yoga: The relationship between the Sun and Moon and the traditional interpretation of Yoga in Panchanga.
• Karaṇa: Half of a Tithi, examined through its planetary lord and its connections with money, learning, ability and practical activity.

Applying Panchanga to the Natal Horoscope

The seminar explores how Panchanga factors are connected to the natal chart. Topics include the placement and condition of Varesha, the Hora lord of birth, the Tithi lord and its influences, and the interpretation of Nakṣatra, Yoga and Karaṇa in the horoscope.

Tithi, Tithi Devatas and Kṣaṇa Tithi

Explore Tithi lords and their associated devatas, the traditional principles used to interpret Tithi in a natal horoscope, and the calculation of Kṣaṇa Tithi and Sūkṣma Tithi. These concepts introduce additional layers of timing and interpretation within the Katti Parampara.

Karaṇa, Learning and Career

Study Karaṇa as an indicator of capability and its relationship with learning, practice, money and professional activity. The seminar examines the placement and condition of the Karaṇa lord, its connection with the 4th house of learning and the 10th house of career, and its application to questions involving education and professional direction.

Traditional Principles and Case Studies

The seminar brings these Panchanga principles together through horoscope examples and practical case studies, helping students understand how the five limbs of time can contribute to a more detailed and systematic analysis of a natal chart.

This seminar offers students of Jyotish an opportunity to explore Panchanga beyond calendar calculations and understand its application as an interpretative tool in traditional Vedic astrology.
