Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hello, As we all know, there are several state-of-the-art charting astrological softwares available today. BUT, when these programs are assessed in the light of their "interpretive and predictive" capabilities, they do not go beyond printing several pages of text in lucid language, lifted by the program on some very broad astrological conditions (like in which ascendant and nakshatra - you were born, which lord is posited in which house, which planet is posited in which house or Sign, Yogas formed in the chart and like that). They apparently lack in programming the "thought process", through which a typical Vedic astrologer is supposed to go through - while assessing a horoscope. For example: Determination of the benefic and malefic planets in a natal chart, after taking into consideration several principles for determining the functional benefics and malefics, as told by sage Parashara, and the principles told in various other streams of Vedic Jyotish to measure the exact benefic or malefic nature of the planets in a natal chart. The relative importance of various astrological parameters has to be calibrated very carefully - as told in ancient Vedic Jyotish texts. Another example: What will be the impact of Vimshottari-dashas on the significations of 12 houses? A planet may be benefic or malefic in general. It's vimsottari periods (specially 'Antar-dashas' or 'sub-periods') will provide results according to planet's beneficence (or maleficence) determined through established Jyotish principles. If a planet is highly benefic, it's periods will normally provide desirable results in most of the areas of one's life. Same is true for reverse of it. A highly malefic planet's periods will prove trying periods in most of the areas. However, under a certain planetary period, not all the areas of one's life gets affected in the same direction. For some aspects of the life, you may feel positive feeling, while at the same time, for some aspects - you may feel negativity. Rest of the areas may even remain totally un-affected. For example, in a particular Vimshottari-dasha, one may perform very well in his occupation. But during the same period, he might remain a highly worried person due to problems related to his children. On the other hand, some areas may remain completely un-affected - neither reporting better results nor worsening. Another point to be noted here is that though two life aspects may be affected in the same direction (positive or negative) but 'quantum of the effect' may be very different. My program, "Vjyotish" tries to address these questions in its latest version (ver. 04.01), which has been uploaded to my web-server recently. It is a 2 MB file only and can be downloaded from the following location: http://www.howisyourdaytoday.com/DwnlodVJ.htm I have been really trying hard to put together some things that other interpretive softwares either don't have at all, or don't have enough of. I already have a number of things in Vjyotish that I think you'll appreciate, but I wanted to ask the list a few questions... What interpretive and predictive astrological softwares do you like the most, and why? What would you like to see more of in terms of interpretive and predictive astrological softwares? What would you like to see less? What are some of the key issues and themes do you think should be addressed more in interpretive and predictive astrological softwares? And any other comments you would like to add. Please send a copy (c.c.) to me in private also at "shyaamkansal @ vjyotish.com" (delete spaces between the words) while replying, because some times, your reply to the list alone may go un-noticed from my attention, making me unable to even acknowledge your valuable inputs. Thank you so much for sharing your insights with me.
