Bhava Sphuta Ganitha, computation of House Division

Once the Ascending degree is obtained, Bhava Sphuta Ganitha or the computation of House Division becomes easy.

We have said that 180 degrees away from the Ascendant is the Descendant & 180 degrees away from the MC is the IC, the Patala Lagna.

So we have now 4 mathematical points on the Circle. Divide the quadrants by 3 and we get the starting and the end of 12 houses !

This type of Bhava Ganitha is attributed to Sripathi in the Indian system and in the Western system, there are many methods of computation, namely the sytems of Regiomontanus, Companus & Placidus !
