Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear JK, It's really got me perplexed at the moment because, even with the correction, Gulika by all accounts should be in Leo (I think) for this chart. I'm certain that PL adheres to the Parashara method. Perhaps this is not a good day for me to try and come up with the same result as PL... A heavy, humid 40° Celsius here today (104° Fahrenheit) and the mind likewise is feeling sluggish and heavy I'm afraid. Perhaps I should just put it aside for the time being and take another look when the mind is fresher. I know I'm probably making an awful fuss about this but it's so important to have confidence in the software I/We are using.

The PL Software , I presume, follows the calculations as per BPHS & GJ , the one given in "Uttara Kalamrita". I understand, most South Indian Astrolgers , especially that of Kerala, invariably follows the calculation of Uttara Kalamrita and believes it yields accurate results.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Wendy, Under other preferences on GJ check to see if you have the Parallax Moon box checked. If so, uncheck it. JG should then give a 0* Virgo for Gulilka. This still present a problem for Gulika not being in Cancer but it is closer to Leo. Last year and then again last month at the New Year, when I was questioning the accuracy of some of the GJ calculations, I was contacted by a very generous person who works in the field of astrology software with its developers to correct errors and bugs. He is also a distributor and an astrolger. It was he would gave me the tip on how my settings might be. And sure enough, he was correct. Sometimes, we have are settings a certain way and can look at them all day and can't see where the error is. After I corrected (or unchecked the Parallax Moon box) my calculations were found to be more accurate where the planets and such were place. However, I am going ahead after some research and guidance and will be purchasing new and updated software/s to backup and cross check with the software I now use. What a pain in the butt and expensive too. However, useful to keep up to date and accurate with all the new technology and advances.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Uttara, No, that's not a problem. I did investigate the Parallax Moon at one stage but disabled that feature some years back. As much as I've tried to prove otherwise, I have to face the fact that, in spite of their assurances, PL have a serious bug in their software...this is infuriating! My next mail to them won't be so amiable. According to my calculations Gulika should be 07°55' Leo (or there about).

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Namaste Wendy, I also tried to figure out what method PL is using to get 27° 53' Cancer and I couldn't either. As best I can tell that degree corresponds to the middle of Venus' portion of the day, not the start of Saturn's. Uttara, the 0* Virgo placement is from taking the ascending degree at the END of Saturn's portion. GJ must use this method & I think Wendy pointed that out in a previous e-mail. I believe this is also the method referred to in Uttara Kalamrita and gives the ~20 degree difference mentioned by JK in previous post.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Wendy, In calculations and the relevance of any chart How much of a difference (if any) is 8' Le 07" vs. your calculation of 7' Le 55" Not enough to change the Nakshatra or its ruler Magha in and of itself. But, what about the rest of the chart? Uttara Wendy Vasicek <jyotish wrote: Dear Uttara, No, that's not a problem.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Sean, Thanks for the confirmation. Yes, GJ is using a different degree or pada method for calculations when it comes to the upashadas and other shodow planets over and above the basic calcultions.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Uttara, To the best of my knowledge other calculations are spot-on with PL. It just seems to be (so far) the Gulika calculations. And this might even be (for some strange reason) just affecting this particular chart. Unfortunately I don't have another software to compare with at the moment. GJ is not an option, and the other software I have (Haydn's Jyotish), tucked away in a drawer for the last few years, seems to have been corrupted somehow. It's on a floppy and when I try to install it, it tells me the disk needs to be formatted? My son says it's probably come in contact with something magnetic...who knows? I was up late last night downloading some (free trial) softwares but wasn't impressed with any of them, so I quickly uninstalled them. What makes me cross is; we pay good money for these programmes and we have every right to expect them to be accurate. As for the nakshatra position of Gulika etc; at this stage I'm just focusing on it's house position, conjunction and (importantly) dispositor. BTW Uttara, I've loaded your picture into the group photo files... A lovely picture, and so nice to see you :-)) Best Wishes, Mrs. Wendy http://JyotishVidya.com ______________________________ - "Uttara" <muttaraphalguni <jyotish-vidya> Wednesday, February 22, 2006 7:07 AM Re: Gulika --Difference in Degree Wendy, In calculations and the relevance of any chart How much of a difference (if any) is 8' Le 07" vs. your calculation of 7' Le 55" Not enough to change the Nakshatra or its ruler Magha in and of itself.

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 Dear Wendy, I have noticed the same about the calculations being off mainly in the gulika and other shadow planets, while the basic calculations are pretty much equal if not one degree off on all charts. Or, so I have compared with my software/s. I agree with you too, there are a lot of free demo downloads that are really not worth their salt. However, a demo never gives one the full knowledge of how the software works. The only way I have found was to do a lot of research and trials like you and then turn to the pros who try and test these softwares out for their accuracy, bugs and ease of application etc. One though, has to be careful not to go to a distributor solely and expect that person to be balance when favoritism comes into play if they are getting a percentage of selling a particular program - whether it is good or not. It's maddening though and such a bore - as I said in an earlier post, such a pain in the butt and pocket book. On another note, I see that what I was trying to post on Dr Singh didn't not copying properly, Hopefully though, learned members will not be too confused and will follow the links and check the Database for more information where Dr. Singh's b&w and Color picture is in the links. I have no idea why they didn't copy in blue outline. Too, I am finding my computer, and my writing software has really been acting up lately, and even my mouse today was causing all sorts of havoc. Frustrating. Between the woes of not getting proper software calculations and computer problems, it reminds me when I was just starting out on the computer, self-teaching myself mind you, in a complicated Dos program of the early 80's where I just wanted to throw the computer out the window and go back to my typewriter. Come to think of it, the library seemed so refreshing in those days!!!
