[Jagannath] JHLite 3.0 with Ashtakavarga of All D-charts

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Today's tithi (lunar day) is Sukla Sapthami in the lunar month of

Magha. This is called " Ratha Sapthami " and is a very auspicious

day. Praying to Sun is good today. Happy Ratha Sapthami!

 

On this very auspicious occasion, SJVC is happy to release

" Jagannatha Hora Lite 3.0 " .

 

Someone requested me a while ago to add ashtakavarga as it is

very very basic & important. He said he started using only

JHLite, but said that he had to open another program now and then

to find ashtakavarga. He wondered why I couldn't have ashakavarga

also.

 

Originally, we planned to put ashtakavarga only in the commercial

version, but we saw his point - ashtakavarga is very very basic.

The free program needs it to be " complete " .

 

Though people use ashtakavarga only in rasi chart, it is

applicable in all vargas. Ashtakavarga is only a scheme of

judging the strengths of planets from 8 references instead of

just lagna or Moon or Sun. It is applicable in all the divisional

charts. So I am giving it in this release. I am also giving

ashtakavarga after reduction and sodya pindas.

 

A colleague chided me for giving only tithi, yoga and not karana.

Karana is a part of " panchanga " (5 essential parts). I added

vaara (weekday) and karana. I also fixed an error in weekday

calculation (and hence in upagrahas, shadbala etc) for births

before 1900. Earlier, my ahargana calculation routine was

assuming the birth year to be after 1900! I fixed a bug that was

wreaking havoc if a " new " chart was cast while another chart was

open. I gave the option of getting darker printouts for those who

don't have a color printer. If you don't have a program that

computes ashtakavarga in divisions, I strongly suggest upgrading

to JHLite 3.0 from 2.0.

[bTW, Shiva, I remembered your suggestion and put a zipped

version of the new executable on my homepage (second link above).

Those who are PC experts and don't need an installer can download

it, unzip it and copy the executable manually to the directory

containing the program. This takes about one-third the time. See

the second link above for more.

 

If this sounds complicated, just download the complete installer

as usual. It is less than 1 MB still.]

 

Please keep the bug reports coming in. They will help me improve

the program!

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
