because that corresponds to the same point in the sky as vedic 11 degree taurus .labelling that point in the sky differently does not change the transit effect to that portion of the heavens.

Eleven degrees Taurus and five degrees od Gemini are the same place in the sky? Then the Suns position would be the same whether in Cancer (Tropical approach) or in Gemini (Vedic appraoch) But the Suns position is different with regards to the backdrop of the stars. So the transit effect would be at a different time. Likewise if i look in an ephemeris when planets go over 5 degress of Gemini this is clearly a different time then when they go over 11 degress Taurus. The ascendent would be effected at different times by looking when it was crossing 5 dgress of Gemini and 11 degress of Taurus. Do you read a different transit book? All transit books that i have seen are the same. 'That position of the heavens' that is the same for both systems (With different names) would have to have two separate transit books to account for the procession of the equinoxes. So what you are saying is that 11 degress of Taurus is the same as 5 degress of Gemini? Right? Yes i agree but the names given to those positions definately conote different meanings. How do we account for these different meanings? Also how do we make allowances for the differences we see in the ephemeris to be able to see the palnets at the same time in the same zodiacal sign position. We obviously would have to do some mathmatics or have two separate books.
