Example: Find true Mars at 800 days from Epoch.
Days from Epoch 800 — 0 — 0
Subtract days at first rising 256 — 40 — 0
543 — 20 — 0
No. of revolutions gone (543-20) / 700 = 0
Remainder 543 — 20 — 0
Correction for revolutions gone 0 — 0 — 0
Days after rising 543 — 20 — 0
Mars at rising = (18 × 0 + 85) / 133 revolutions = 230°, i.e. 20° in Scorpio.
Starting from this point, i.e. 20° in Scorpio at rising, true Mars moves in 543-20 days, as per the
scheme given in verses 24-35, to 29° 47′ in Cancer as per details given below:
Type I: 146° Total days = 543-20
Balance 10° in Scorpio 14 days (10/30 × 42)
30° in Sagittarius 42 ”
30° in Capricorn 38 ”
30° in Aquarius 38 ”
30° in Pisces 41 ”
16° in Aries 21 + 52 (16/30 × 41)
Total 194 + 52
Balance No. of days .......... 348.28
II: 18°
14° in Aries 44-20 (14/18 × 57)
4° in Taurus 13-33 (4/18 × 61)
57-53
Balance No. of days .......... 290-35
III: 7° (Retrograde)
— 4 in Taurus 24-34 (4/7 × 43)
— 3 in Aries 18-00 (3/7 × 42)
42-34
Balance No. of days 248-1
