I wonder is there any consensus among astrologers about positions of the lunar mansions?
For instance, old texts place Al Sharatain @ 0 Aries, Robson (in Electional Astrology, 1937) places it @ 19 ARI 11, website constellationsofwords places it @ 04 TAU 03 (for year 2007) on account of the fixed star Sheratan which is @ 04 TAU 10 today in year 2014.
1) There is too much difference between these two positions (Robson and website) since fixed stars move approximately 1 degree in 72 years
2) Placement of the mansions given by constellationsofwords doesn't follow the rule that each mansion is 12 deg. 51 min. in extent given by Robson and ancient authors
Apparently, there is much confusion about this. Does anyone uses lunar mansions and what is your approach?
