My father spent the past few days hunting for a jatakam like Sri Rama’s in the recent past.
The Chaitra Suklapaksha SriRamanavami of 1956, yielded pretty interesting results.
A person on born on that day has Surya (Uccha) and Budha in Mesha , Chandra (Sva) and Guru (Uccha) in Karkataka, Kuja (Uccha) in Makara, Sukra (Uccha) in Vrishabha… so 5 planets in sva – uccha sthanas.. only thing is nakshatra is not Punarvasu.. so that is a major difference. (If you know some one born on that day, demand a treat!)
===============================
Using the Tithi Calculator at this Site, I verified the tithi durations from Amavasya to Sri Rama Navami of that year. As anticipated, the tithi durations are not uniform. If you remember my calculations here : Casting Sri Rama’s Jataka Chakram! I had stated that I had assumed uniform degree separations for each tithi (12 degrees between the sun and the moon) and an average value for tithi durations. I had said that maybe if we fine-tune the calculations, the sun might be present in Mesha even though the Navami chandra was in karkataka. (This is not possible using “average” values in calculations)
