Meghan's chart needs to be rectified because at least sidereally, her rising sign is right on the cusp. The rising sign is especially important in Indian astrology. I just don't have a lot of time right now to do that.
I have to apologize for the highly technical analysis below, but everyone can understand that Prince Harry's sidereal ascendant is ruled by Jupiter, and this connects with Meghan's chart.

I’d say that Megan definitely has a sidereal Cancer ascendant. Here's why: According to KP/Khullar theory (Kalamsa and Cuspal Interlinks) a sub-division of the ascendant degree has to reflect the nakshatra (star) of the Moon. Megan’s Moon is in the Moon’s star of sidereal Virgo. With Cancer rising the Moon comes into the equation, but I don’t think that’s quite good enough.

If her ascendant is between 0 deg 36 minutes and 0 deg 43 minutes of Cancer, this gives the small Rahu subdivision. Rahu can’t rule a sign, but it’s in Cancer, so this brings the Ascendant/lunar influence into the proper relationship to her Moon’s nakshatra/star.

But there is another convincing point for the first degree of sidereal Cancer rising for Meghan. Harry’s ascendant is sidereal Sagittarius. With the Krishnamurti ayanamsa Jupiter is placed at 10 Sag 01. This places Jupiter at 11 minutes of navamsa Cancer, conjunct both Meghan’s natal ascendant and her navamsa ascendant.

These calculations are from Solar Fire 5. Newer versions of the program may be more exact in calculating astrological minutes. I’ve tested the ascendant degree and minutes in three astrological programs, and they all disagree on the precise minutes and seconds of the rising degree. There is also a minute or two difference in planetary positions between programs, and many more when it comes to seconds.

So to get the proper small KP/Khullar sub-divisions, different software programs may give different minutes in time for the ascendant which would have to be adjusted. This means different programs would give slightly different clock times for the same sub-divisions in degrees/minutes/seconds. All my astrological software is rather dated, so perhaps the newer programs don’t have this problem. Here is an example of the differences I’m finding:

For clock time 10:57:45, the ascendant is:

3 deg 56' 45" Solar Fire 5
3 deg 57' 02" Parshara’s Light 7
4 deg 05' 07" True Astrology (Indian) for cusp setting

So to get the proper sub-division the True Astrology birth time has to be set for 10:57:16 rather than 10:57:45. In this case, the correct sub-division runs from 3 deg 49 min to 3 deg 59 min. It’s this kind of precision that the KP/Khullar systems use for rectification.

Next I'll look at Archie's birth time. There have to be certain relationships to the birth charts of the parents (Houses of the mother and father)

If we forsake psychology for the moment, the fact that Jupiter gives its full partile aspect to Mars simply says that the child (ascendant lord Mars) is an exalted and royal (Jupiter) birth. Jupiter is 9th lord (equal cusps), and 9th house Sagittarius is also the father's (sidereal) ascendant sign.

Interesting observation.
Scorpio rises from 4:49 am to 5:52:55 am (KP ayanamsa) at London on that day.
That puts Archie's Jupiter in the 12th from Harry's ascendant though...and Ju gandhanta. What omens happened around sunrise in London on that day would be interesting to know. Were there birds of prey and jackles howling outside the hospital? I wonder. LOL
As telling as the Ju/Ma/9HSg, I think Archies Moon conjunct Harry's Rahu in his 6th house. Mo caught up in Harry's Ra/Ke axis.
Archie's exact Mars fourth aspect to Harry's Sun.
Archie's Venus to Harry's Venus by opposition, exact.
Harry's Sa on Archies descendant.
Still, there is an overall predictive dissonance with Archie's chart to Harry's regarding Dad's longevity, this is not seen in Williams chart either. I'm going to verify/rectify Meghan's chart when I have time because hers is key. I will take some time to digest your article on Meghans chart too. Thanks Therese.

Hi Therese: I follow the argument pretty well... Thanks for the excellent and detailed expo. Still digesting all this and will report on my rectification soon.

A small thing really, but the clock time seems a wee bit off.
You don't expressly label it Universal Time but...
Is the time zone conversion wrong in the software ???
Meghan's birth time zone is PDT 7W (105) so 04:57 PDT is 11:57 hours UT.

You mention Krishnamurti ayanamsa for Harry's Jupiter but seeing the variations between the various asc outputs compared to what I get in SJS for 04:57:45 PDT are these for KP or Khullers ayanamsa?
I assume KP but I don't have Khullers ayanamsa in my software so I couldn't tell.

[For 4:57:45 PDT using SJS 9 I get 3Ca14 KP ascendant just for another software comparison.]

Hi AJ,

The example of different calculations I gave didn't relate to the royal family, but was a personal project I was working on. For the birth times of Meghan, Harry and Archie I followed the AstroDatabank times and used Solar Fire 5 for calculations:

Meghan: 4:46 am PDT: Asc 0 Cancer 47
Harry: 4:20 pm BST: Asc 17 Sag 49
Archie: 5:26 am BST: Asc 18 Aries 37

[For 4:57:45 PDT using SJS 9 I get 3Ca14 KP ascendant just for another software comparison.]
I'm sorry, what is SJS?
The 57:45 time was related to my personal project.
I used the Krishnamurti ayanamsa. The Khullar ayanamsa is apparently very close to Lahiri. Of course the ayanamsa is critical for any work with Khullar's concepts. This is a developing system, and I think there will be modifications and changes as research goes on.

I'll check Harry's Jupiter in my three different programs. Solar Fire 5 which I used doesn't display seconds of arc.

AJ, could you please post the Krishnamurti ascendants your software gives for the AstroDatabank birth times for Meghan, Harry, and Archie as noted in my previous post? Does your software give seconds of arc?

Maybe we should move the software comparison discussion to the sidereal forum?

I didn't realize it was for a different chart. Just assumed they were software variations for a time you used or were for illustrative purposes for rectifying Meghan's chart by the method you used maybe to show a refining technique. I see I read more into it LOL

SJS is Sri Jyoti Star software that I use for Indian astrology. It does not display to seconds of arc, only minutes. Harry's natal Ju is 10Sg01 according to SJS. using a BT of 16:20.
The ascendants are the same in SJS as you got from Solar Fire
Meghan: 4:46 am PDT: Asc 0 Ca 47
Harry: 4:20 pm BST: Asc 17 Sg 49
Archie: 5:26 am BST: Asc 18 Ar 37

PS
James and Therese: I think we should we bump the whole Meghan rectification over to the sidereal forum since it is the thread of the moment? Any objections?Don't want to step on any tropical toes and it is better suited there topically. I good juncture would be Therese's analysis to begin the thread.

hi therese and aj,

lets start a new thread if you want to do some work on megans chart in sidereal. thanks!

fwiw - here is megans data off adb..

source notes for the aa rated time are - Birth certificate in hand from Viktor E.

Craft quotes same data from "Meghan: A Hollywood Princess" by Andrew Morton, pgs. 8 & 22, "at 4:46 in the morning of August 4, 1981 in West Park Hospital in Canoga Park in Los Angeles"

harrys chart on adb - https://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Ha ... _of_Sussex

source notes for the a rating - Dana Holliday quotes news on date; Sy Scholfield confirms same in March 2008.

Then it looks like we can rely on the western Solar Fire and Sri Jyoti Star. Parshara's Light 7 misses a little (for Harry 53 minutes for the ascendant instead of 49) and True Astrology misses a lot. That's not good as True Astrology was especially written to adjust the 12 house cusps in the very small KP sub-divisions. It's apparently accurate for cusp adjustment, but misses on the Ascendant. That means an incorrect birth time has to be entered in order to get the correct sub-divisions.

With the Krishnamurti ayanamsa, all programs place Harry's Jupiter in 10 Sag 01. The KP module in Parashara's light gives 10:01:28. So this places Jupiter in the navamsa of Cancer, currently Meghan's ascendant and navamsa ascendant sign. The ayanamsa is critical here because with Lahiri Harry's Jupiter is back in Gemini navamsa.

Just to get things rolling...
For fun I took the time to do nadi calculations on Archies 5:26 chart and the Ascendant, Nakshatra Lord and the tatwa at the given time of birth only allows for a female child. It's rather complicated to explain but suffice to say that's how I spent my morning after doing the calcs three times just to check myself. The earliest birth time that matches for Archie is 04:57 by this method. I won't say its infallible but uncannily close most of the time if you have a BT within 20-30 minutes.

The 04.57 doesn't change the overall tenor of the 5.26 chart much, except Me exactly conjunct the ascendant.

The 04:57 is more of a curiosity than any real sort of assay on the 05:26 chart. There are no meanignful contacts to Meghan's 01Ca rising chart. It is clearly not in the ballpark IMO.

In the 01Cancer rising chart for Meghan on the other hand, her Sun exactly on the fourth house equal bhava madhya (EBM) and her Mars exactly aspecting the 3rd, 6th, 9th and 10th EBM on Archies 05:26 chart. Meghans Venus is exactly (within a degree) conjunct the EBM of the fourth and aspecting the tenth house.

I do have additional comments on the 01Ca chart for Meghan that I still have to compile and much that bothers me about Archies chart. Not that the time is necessarily wrong, but his BT needs to be pretty much bonafide because at least from my armchair I cannot reconcile some things I see in chart with his dad and uncles horoscopes. I still have to look deeply at Meghan's. maybe should have spent my morning on that instead of the nadi stuff. :)
Cheers.

Very interesting comments, AJ, which I'll reply to a bit later. I'm especially interested in what you see as questions about the relationship of Archie's chart to Harry and William's horoscopes. I don't know if this relates to your questions (and it is only hearsay), but a few years ago when a well traveled elderly friend visited she commented that discussion about Harry's parentage was common in palace circles.

I also want to do more work on these charts. I have a question for you. We all know that there is disagreement about whether the house of the father in India is the 9th or 10th. (I think north India favors the 9th, and south India favors the 10th?) What does your experience say about this, because one of the KP/Khullar methods of rectification involves the houses of the parents. Do you always use the equal house/cusp at center houses?

Please explain "tatwa" for readers. Thanks! S.P. Khullar explains that the motivation for his Kalamsa theory comes from studying Nadi texts. Khullar also describes a a method for determining the gender of a child which I haven't tested yet.

What does your experience say about this, because one of the KP/Khullar methods of rectification involves the houses of the parents. Do you always use the equal house/cusp at center houses? see below
I had both a southern Jyotish guru and a Northern one at different times. Both used the ninth house for the father and would admit that sometimes even the fourth could be for either parent. In my own experience and how I was taught, the ninth for father works well if there is an MT sign there. If not I see if the fourth house has an MT sign there, if neither the 9th or 4th has an MT sign I use the Sun and Jupiter. The Sun, of course, is the natural karaka for father. Some of the old texts mention the fourth house for father but its much further down in the lists. ?Kalamrita I think? I will mention that I take the same approach for the Mother except reversed, House 4, House 9 and the Moon.

My go-to for houses is the Equal Bhava Madhya System. I do use SrPati on occasion.
Let me explain...
The premise is simple, Equal Bhava Madhya combines whole sign houses with equal house cusps. The ascending degree becomes the most sensitive point for each whole sign house, but note that the house boundary does not extend beyond the whole house sign.

Equal Bhava Madhya is often shortened to EBM by its users. It’s easy enough for the most part to think in terms of whole sign houses when you see the abbreviation EBM.

When I was first introduced to this is was called the "Cuspal Degree of Influence." EBM is more descriptively accurate I think.

Bhava Madhya also has been used to describe the Indian Equal House System, so it’s easy to get them confused. The difference is that the Equal House System defines the house boundary as being 15° on either side of the cusp (ascending degree) and into the neighboring signs.

Please explain "tatwa" for readers. Thanks! S.P. Khullar explains that the motivation for his Kalamsa theory comes from studying Nadi texts. Khullar also describes a a method for determining the gender of a child which I haven't tested yet.
Tatwas are simply the 5 elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Ether/Space collectively known as Bhutas, or lit. Truth. Tatwas means "things". Much like the Triplicities in the west, just that ether is an active element.

AJ, it's very interesting that what you describe as the Equal Bhava Madhya System is similar to Robert Schmidt's ultimate conclusion: That Hellenistic astrologers combined the ascendant degree with whole sign houses for different types of interpretation. For myself, I've found that the Indian equal house method works well. But for yogas it's always whole sign houses.

Following Khullar's dictum that the ascendant degree has to reflect in some way (preferably the planet ruling the sub-sub ascendant degree area), slightly rectifying Harry's chart time to 4:20:45 (as per Solar Fire 5), his ascendant adjusts to 18 Sag 01. As Harry's Moon is in the Sun's nakshatra/star (Krittika), this moves the ascendant from 17 Sag 49 to 18 Sag 01. Harry's chart is one of those very tight fits to the sub2 planet. There is only about a two astrological minute leeway to get the Sun as lord of the sub2 area.

This change is interesting because Archie's chart (as given) places 18+ degrees on the ascendant which falls on Harry's 5th house cusp. I have exactly the same situation in my family where my first child's Aries ascendant is trine mine (Sag) by degree, and falls on my 5th house cusp.

I agree with what you say here.
When I was first learning, my gurus would start discussing a chart and mid discussion would say "this planet here was in this house glancing to another there"... etc. I would look at the chart and the planet(s) were in a different house than what they were talking about. This was very frustrating to a Learner and I soon came to realize that house systems and delineation can be quite fluid in Indian astrology. It was not unusual for them to use Equal House and/or SriPati with whole sign on the fly. I am very much now like my gurus I'm afraid.
PS...
Therese: BTW Thanks so much for taking the time doing such a clean job moving this thread over. I would have botched it myself.

It's this type of fluidity that the Khullar system rejects. So S.P. Khullar came up with that is called a "closed system" that doesn't consider the many variations in interpretations. Years ago I studied the Khullar system, and then it faded into the background, I think because I was studying the new translations of classical western texts. Recently I went back to the KP/Khullar system in order to test it. I'm in that process now which is why I've been discussing Khullar rectification. But right away I'm questioning Placidus cusps (used in traditional KP/Khullar Kalamsa astrology) and instead testing equal cusps.

Working with clients where intuition is used generally results in fluid and "on the fly" interpretations. It's a different process than the scientific approach that has to rely on specific rules. The KP/Khullar system follows very specific rules. I'm not sure how suitable that system would be for client consultation. Intuition is right brain, rules and regulation are left brain.

I would not consider my methods an open system, actually just the opposite. Fluidity within an order is what I think we are talking about in this context and that is not "intuitive". It is still all about following a systematic method that is repeatable and consistent.
Ditto... on the royal charts.

But if an astrologer jumps back and forth between the position of planets in different houses, how is that systematic? I can see that the Rasi position of planets is one thing, and the position of a planet in a specific bhava system is another, but using various bhava systems...that I don't see so clearly as being systematic.

You yourself said that you used equal plus whole sign for yogas. I don't see the difference between us in that regard, but I don't want an argument either, its really not that important. I rarely need to look at a chart through other bhava systems but it can give insights if applied judiciously especially if you are following other discussions. My choice of words gave you the wrong impression I think.

hi therese and aj,

speaking of jumping back and forth - i am reminded of myself! is this a south node in gemini thang? lol... i need to be shooting with an arrow and i am dealing with the slayer of the real - mercury!!

i was looking at the navamsha charts and i did happen to notice the close connection between harrys jupiter and meghans rasi ascendant.. is this kp technique??

for me rectification is usually more like wrecktification.. i have found so much of it quite subjective in nature.. i have read books on it too.. i am not convinced of the art form, but do view it as an art form..

i like the old fashioned way - looking at connections via planets in others charts back to the original one under consideration... looking at cross aspects between charts...

i do find the close aspect between archies moon and harrys north node compelling.. in fact, there are a number of cross aspects of significance between the 2 charts. i realize this doesn't help with meghan, archies or harry rectification, but i think a lot can be gotten off these cross aspects without knowing the exact ascendant degree..

meghans part of fortune lands right on the same degree as archies moon and harrys north node as well for what that is worth... archies ascendant is exactly square meghans sun.. meghans ascendant is slightly more then a degree away from exact opposition to archies pluto.. meghans venus is within a degree of trine - 5th house - archies ascendant.. this is again repeated given how close the sun is in archies chart to the ascendant..

the only real inclusion of meghans 0 cancer rising degree is the 1 degree opposition to archies natal pluto..

although i looked at navamsha data, i did not look at nakshatra data.. i believe i understand what the techinque is that you are using therese, but i might only understand part of it... it would be good to see research work using this technique in the manner linchi shares with us, in order to appreciate it more... thanks for sharing!
