This means, 38 m 40 s should be deducted from IST to find LMT.

Step II

The next step is to find out the sidereal time for the given date, time and place of birth.

Sidereal time for 10th December
(From page 3, Table of Asc) 17 h 14 m 07 s
Correction to Indian sidereal time for Bombay (From page 101, last column, Table of Asc) + 06 s
Correction for 1993 (From page 4, Table II, Table of Asc) + 1 m 52 s
Sidereal time for 12 Noon on 10.12.1993 for Bombay
17 h 16 m 05s ..B
Now, let us calculate sidereal time for the time of birth on 10.12.1993 for Bombay: As the birth is before 12 Noon, deduct from 12 h 00 m 00 s
LMT 3 h 11 m 20 s

8 h 48 m 40 s ... C

(For afternoon birth, there is no need of this deduction. Correction to increase the time interval is apllied straight to the LMT).

Now apply correction to increase the time interval (From page 5, Table IV, Table of Asc):

for 8 hr + 1 m 19 s

for 48 m + 8 s

for 8 hr 48 m: 1 m 27 s ..... D

Now, add C and D. This comes to 8 h 50 m 07 s.

Sidereal time at 12 Noon 17 h 16 m 05 s
Less corrected time interval - 8 h 50 m 07 s

(For birth in the afternoon, this should be added.)

Sidereal Time for the given 8 h 25 m 58 s ...E
birth time:

Step III

Now to find out the Ascendant, refer to Tables given in the book Table of Ascendants for various latitudes. Search for the latitude of Bombay (or its nearest place, if the same is not available). On page 29, Table for Latitude 19° N is given. As given earlier, the latitude for Bombay, the required place of birth, is 18° 58' N (say, 19
° N).

In this page, we have to search for the Ascendant for the Sidereal Time given above as, 8 hr 25 m 58 s as at E.

Ascendant for

For 8 h 24 m 6 s 100 46'

For 8 h 28 m 6s 110 41'
Hence for 4 m 55'
('s' is the zodiac sign, Degree (°) and minute (') already explained above).

If we deduct the former from the latter, we get 4 minutes = 55 m but we need 2 minutes (8h 24 m + 1 m 58' (1 m 58' is approximately equal to 2') = 8 h 26 m. So for 2 minutes, we get 28 m (55/2: 27.5, say 28).

Therefore, Ascendant for 8 h 25 m 58 s (Or say, 8 h 26 m)

= 6 s 10° 46'

+ 28'
6 s 11 14'

Step IV

Now, apply correction for Ayanamasha for 1993, as per page 6 of Tables of Ascedants, which is -46'.
