Guest guest Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 ~ Om Namah Shivaya ~ I personally like the following two: 1) Jagannatha Hora - I am using Lite (free) version and intend to purchase the commercial version in future. It is the only software which gives all the D-charts, variety of Dashas etc. but you won't find any text written in this like in other softwares. This is basically for calculations. 2) Parashara Light 2000 - I have heard Parashara Light 6.0 is released, but has some bugs in in. I am using 2000 version and it is a good software. There are various standard texts included and you can read standard text pertaining to one chart, gives details of dasha effects (which are general), gem recommendation, sadhesati calculations, guna matching etc. Regards, Neeraj Gupta --- Sharon Rebelo <sharonrebelo wrote: > Hi, > > I wish to purchase a good astrology software.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Dear Sharon If you email me privately I will give you a clear guide to what programs do what and which are worth having. I don't want to slag anyone off online anymore and I have never used Das's program so cannot say anything about that. ( I am still waiting my free complimentary copy from my buddy, great mate and trusted collegue Das, LOL). Has anybody on the list tried or seen Satya's new program "Vedic Light" it is very expensive at $299 USD just for the basic program. There are a lot of add ons at $199 USD a module so if you wanted a report writer or two you are up for a wad of cash. I tried to download a demo but could not do it from the site. I did not know it was even out until recently. Parasharas Light 6 did have a few mistakes but they fixed every one I found and fixed them quick. There was a few small blues in the sub- lords for KP and a couple of other minor things. You need to go to their site to get the rebuilt module. Mr Boender I think his name is, doesn't muck around, he gets the bugs fixed. I do however always get this error where the program just disappears which is very frustrating, it seems to be in all of their programs and I cannot figure out why. Mind you, Solar fire does it as well with the "runtime" error doing the same. Some geek may be able to help me on that one. I spoke to Neville Lang who is a computer expert and he thought the problem may be in my Windows where there is a slight clash somewhere. The relocation tool with the world map is a real pain in the arse on PL6. I have been meaning to get onto them about it. It really needs fixing. I think software developers in their haste to outdo one another try to put too much on a program sometimes. Your average astrologer cannot read a basic rashi chart that well, so to do it and then add on a few different dasha systems with endless data you are just getting nowhere practically. I have my basic page set up very clearly with the rashi chart and Navamsha. I then move to KP for clarity. I have moved away from using the rashi chart for actual prediction or use with the vimshottari dasha system. I have made some excellent predictions recently with prashna so am moving more and more to using that to confirm what I see in the birth chart. Just last night I was watching Wimbledon here in Thailand, Roddick was firing and took the first set, I cast a prashna and it said clearly Federer would win, clearly. This is the time prashna can be very useful in online punting. Federer was probably at odds on. After the first set you may have got evens or better, it would have been a quick way to double up some money. The big weakness in PL6 is the reluctance to stray too far from classical Vedic astrology. I have asked for progressions, alternative house systems to be added etc to make it the complete package without any luck so far. I feel eventually they will have to add these feature to stay competitive with Goravani, Shri Jyothi etc....... Solar Fire is my other program but it is basically a western program that does a bit of Vedic, I asked Neville Lang why they don't put more Vedic on it and he said they were simply a western based program and felt no real need to enter the Vedic market. It is good for tertiary progressions and eclipses etc. You can set the ayanamsha to KP like I do with Placidus houses. It only goes to two levels of dashas which is limited. I did recently downloaded a copy of Shri Jyothi star in demo form. It is a bit geeky for me and very data based, it however does all calculations. You can tell it was done by a mathematician with a Ph.D in physics. LOL. However, it seems a very good package for the price and it comes with the full ACS which is a real bonus. I am not sure if Das has got his new program out yet. It would be worth having a look at and I would like a demo to download if possible. Das is a great artist so if you like your program to be ascetically pleasing to the eye, his would be best. The real weakness of Parasharas Light is not having progressions and lunar returns, like Solar fire has. I constantly have to go back and forward from solar fire to PL6 when doing a reading as I look for pre- natal eclipse patterns etc for seeing major life events. Often it is just the program you are used to that gets preference. I first got PL as it was the only thing available in Australia. I like it as I am familiar and comfortable with it. Most programs offer a demo so try them all and see what you like. Shri Jyothi star would probably be my first choice if buying a new program simply as it does every calculation I want and also has the full world atlas. For the price it is a good package. I would also investigate Das's new program to see what it offered. I hope this helps in some small way Soi Dog Thailand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Dear Sharon I am a beginner and personally would like to recommend Goravani Jyotish3/ Jyotish Suite3 designed and written by the owner of this , Sri Goravani Das. Another must is Jagannatha Hora lite - version 6 has just been released (free download at http://www.vedicastrologer.org/jhl6/index.htm ) ----- SOFTWARE ----- Also, an investment in Jyotish software....Goravani Jyotish is a must for beginners. Its easy to navigate the programme, many useful features for the beginner. Astrology of the Seers (limited edition) by David Frawley and lots of reading material, tables, glossary of terms, etc bundled in programme. Goravani Jyotish also has many research applications, not to mention the best printouts I have seen. www.goravani.com ----- VIDEOS - LEARNING JYOTISH ----- Das Goravani has brought out 3 amazing Videos that explain the complex concepts of Jyotish to the beginner in an easy manner, in Das's special way. I watched this video after many months of grappling on the basics and wish I had these videos from the beginning. www.goravani.com Hope this helps Regards Bipin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hope it is okay for me to jump into this discussion regarding astrology software. I have had some difficulties with PL 6.0 that I have been unable to resolve. I was wondering if you, or anyone else, has found this to be a problem and, if so, if you have found a way to remedy it. I have had problems with using Narayana Dasha in PL 6.0. I have found the calculations to be inaccurate for some antardasha periods. I have tried to figure out what the problem is by comparing the programs calulations with my own hand calculations. I think one problems has to do with how the program is determining rasi strength when comparing dasha rasi and 7th from it. I think a second problem has to do with the fact that it omits Ketu and Rahu as co-rulers of Scorpio and Aquarius, respectively. I also have not been able to figure out how to get the software to compute the second cycle of Narayana dasha. It has a selection called "Narayana 2", but this seems to be a wholly different calculation. It calculates the same dasha period twice in a row, and seems to have no relationship whatsoever to the second cycle of Narayana dasha. I am assuming this is a wholly different calculation system and is not a calculation of the second cycle of Narayana dasha. If you have any experience with these problems in using Narayana dasha in PL 6.0, or in how to remedy them, I would appreciate your input, opinion and thoughts about this. Are there some settings somewhere that I have not yet found, either for choosing rulerships/exaltation/moolatrikona for Rahu and Ketu, for including them as co-rulers, or for calculating planetary and rasi strengths? Or is this a flaw or omission in the program? I appreciate any and all input from anyone who has had any experience with this, or who has found another program that computes Narayana dasha more accurately. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Dear Friends, I share my understanding regarding the astrology programs with you which is as follows; 1. I mainly use astrology programs for quick chart preparation for which I use two programs i.e. Parasar Lite (PL) and Jagannatha Hora Lite(JHL). 2. One thing that I have noticed in both the programs is that while the a year has 365.25 days in PL it is 365.2425 days in JHL which is confusing. The reason is that though the natal charts seem to be correct in both these programs yet the divisional charts are conflicting with the variance in year duration. This also creates confusion in having accurate dasa periods. This is the limitation of some of the programs that are in market today. 3. Though PL is a vast program which gives many important things that become handy for an astrologer to predict. Though human mind (astrologer's mind and will) is more powerful than a software. Therefore, I do not get influenced by the astrology programs to give predictions and I follow bit unconventional path to come with predictions which sometimes deviate from the vedic astrology principles but my motto is that astrology is all about making predictions and right predictions. 4. I give 5-6 hours to a chart either in one go or over a period of time but I think over each and every aspect to come with logical observations. Yes, I definitely use the softwares for basic calculations but in the end it is the astrological mind that gives predictions. I am also waiting for a software that gives most accurante divisional charts and dasas as well as yearly-monthly & weekly charts with a scientific rational or variable and different kind of dasas and usage etc. The above is my experience and it may vary from your experiences so please execuse me if I have made a mistake though I welcome your further remarks.
