ARBC 26: Khullar Chart

The screen shots below are from Astracadabra v1.7

Astracadabra was created and developed by Neville Lang

         Solar Fire (circular chart above) can only select the “KP Original” ayanamsa from its list of zodiacs while Astracadabra can select the “KP New” ayanamsa from its list of zodiacs. Selecting either of these two KP ayanamsas results in a slightly different longitude positions of planets and cusps. Additionally, Astracadabra v1.7 can be set to use the Khullar ayanamsa, as in the screen shot attached below, but the user must select the “SVP -22:27:00” option from the zodiac list (see above) to use it.

·         As a matter of interest, the Khullar ayanamsa uses the Newcomb fixed precession rate of 50.2388475 seconds per year. like Mr. K.S .Krishnamurti and the starting date of 15 April 291 A.D. when the Tropical and Sidereal zodiacs coincided, also like Mr. K.S. Krishnamurti. However, Mr. Khullar uses the “straight-line” method to determine the ayanamsa for a particular date and does not use precession corrected values in the formula, as used in both KP Original and KP New (2003). The Khullar ayanamsa results in a value that is closer to Lahiri than to the KP Original ayanamsa. Additionally, Mr. Khullar uses longitude values where “nutation” has been subtracted. This is now an option in Astracadabra v1.7 but not in many other astrology programs.
