[INDOLOGY] question about jyotis

[Martin Gansten]

There are a number of more or less fanciful diagrams (cakra) used for 
particular purposes in Indian astrology, often as a means of classifying 
the nakṣatras. I don't know the origin of the avakahaḍā- or hoḍā-cakras, 
but the latter one is typically used to determine suitable names based 
on the nakṣatras in an individual horoscope. There are plenty of 
non-scholarly discussions of both diagrams on the web, especially if you 
enter search terms in Devanagari (अवकहडा चक्र, होडा चक्र).

Best wishes,
Martin
