Birth Time Correction
The Method of Shri S. E. Karve
(This method should not be followed blindly as there are many other
corrections to be done. It works in some cases)
Table of Month Numbers
Month Number
January 726
February 850
March 996
April 1086
May 1208
June 1327
July 6
August 127
September 250
October 366
November 491
December 604
• Multiply your date of birth by 4. Example mine is October 12.
So 12x4=48
• See the number allotted to the month. For October it is 366 so
366+48=414
• Convert into minutes your birth time from the preceding
midnight (12:00:00 hours). In my case by birth is 7:55 am,
which means 475 minutes from midnight.
• Finally Add all these 48+366+475=889. This falls in Tula. Tula
is my Lagna. If there is any error, the birth time can be
corrected. Now see against Tula (818 to 949). For calculating
Mesha Lagna, it is 76 to 181. Whenever the total exceeds 1440
deduct it from the total. The remainder represents the Janma.
