Firdaria Calculator
Instructions
1. Enter the Date of Birth in cell B2 on the "Firdaria Calculator" worksheet.
Because of an Excel date calculation quirk, use "2" instead of "1" for the millenium.
For example, instead of "26-Dec-1893" type "26-Dec-2893" instead for Mao Zedong.
Comments
Firdaria is a predictive technique which falls under the classification of Planetary Period Methods.
For details of this method, see A Rectification Manual, Chapter 7, pp. 120-124.
This spreadsheet lists three columns. For each horoscope, only one is relevant.
If the figure is diurnal (Sun above the horizon), choose the Diurnal series, first column.
If the figure is nocturnal (Sun below the horizon), choose either the 2nd or 3rd column.
While I recommend using the 3rd column, which places the Nodal periods after Mars,
this choice is not universal. For a discussion of this controversy, see A Rectification Manual,
Appendix B. Tests of Sect Influence: Part of Fortune and Fidaria. Results of this study
confirmed Robert Zoller's recommended choice of placing the Nodal periods after Mars.
My my empirical work continues to support this choice.
Presentation of all three models on a single sheet aids side-by-side comparison of major
life events to planetary sequences for diurnal and nocturnal births. This analysis is recommended in
Stage I rectification (see A Rectification Manual, p. 293). For every horoscope I rectify,
this is the first data sheet I compute and study.
