Vedic Astrology Essentials http://vedicastrologyessentials.com Nakshatra Based timekeeping in Vedas From the same text, (Yajur Veda) we see the earliest Vedic astrological references, and how timekeeping was approached and how the zodiac was calculated. Solar months were connected to the seasons and solstices (like just saw) but MEASURED by the sidereal zodiac in space and time. Below are a few of the important sections. The year length and the connection of the seasons to the solstices are seen. “366 days for the solar year. In the year there are six ritus (seasons) and two ayanas (solstices). In the year there are twelve solar months. Five years make a yuga.” The following verses show that the new moon in Dhanishta (Shravishta) Nakshatra began the soli / lunar month of Magha, at that time. It also shows the solar / calendar month (Tapa) and the year / yuga beginning on the winter solstice or that new moon. “When the Sun and Moon occupy the same region of the zodiac together with the asterism Shravishta, at that time begins the yuga, and the (synodic) month of Magha, the (solar seasonal) months called Tapas, the bright fortnight (of the Synodic month Magha) and their northward course (uttarayan / winter solstice).” Below we see the Nakshatras measuring both the northern and the southern course, at the time of this text. “When situated at the beginning of the Shravishta segment, the Sun and Moon begins to move north. When they reach the midpoint of the Aslesha segment, they begin moving south. And this: “Four and a half asterismal segments is one ritu (season).” This confirms that six seasons multiplied by 4.5 Asterisms (Nakshatras) = 27 Nakshatras.
