SOLAR AND LUNAR MANSIONS (VEDIC VIEW)

Sun takes 12 months to traverse the zodiac once. So, the ecliptic is divided into 12
equal parts called Signs. Readers will do well to know that the concepts of the
western and the eastern zodiacs are quite different. Vedic astrology talks about
the sidereal zodiac and takes into account the fixed star groups, the
constellations. But the western zodiac is not star based but tropical. The latter
takes into account the actual or apparent positions of planets. Because of the
precession of the equinoxes, the tropical zodiac lags behind the other in the
course of time.

Because a sidereal lunar month consists of 27 days 7 hours, 11 minutes and 3 seconds,
which period is approximately equal to 27 days, the zodiac is divided into 27 equal parts
named constellations.
Sub Theory
The sign in which the Moon transits at the time of birth is the Janma Rasi (birth
sign) of a person. The constellation (star group) occupied by Moon is the Janma
Nakshatra (birth star) of a person. Each constellation is divided into 9 parts called
subs ruled by planets in the order and proportion in which they are assigned
periods in the Udu Dasa system. Each sub is ruled by a planet, the first always
being ruled by the star lord.
The sub theory was first propounded by the great sage Parasara for timing of
events (Udu Dasa system) based on Moon's position. But later, the renowned
astrologer Professor K S Krishnamurthi employed this theory for all planets and
developed his own unique and novel technique of prediction. He discovered that a
planet offers good or bad results depending on the sub ruler. He was also the first
to say that a planet offers the results of the houses occupied and ruled by its star
ruler more predominantly than the houses occupied and ruled by itself. This is
called the Constellation theory.

You can find the longitude of each sub and its ruler here.

Sub table
In the Udu dasa system, a total of 120 years is allotted to planets in the following
order and proportion.

There are 27 constellations. Each constellation is subdivided into 9 parts called

subs. Some of the subs extend to two signs. Therefore they are allotted different
numbers. So, the total number of subs is not 243 (27 x 9) but 249.
The following table shows 249 subdivisions of the zodiac.
