Raghunandana Dasa Goravani . He is a friend of Sanjay but not connected to

Sri Jagannath Vedic College .It has research facilities,calculates the

yogas,sadbalas and an extensive data base of birth times .If you go to his

web site (Goravani.com) you can get more info and for a few dollars get a

demo or you could buy William Levacy's book which has the demo in the back .

I think Nrsma Rao is working on it .

The rising degree is taken as the most effective point in each house .Then

planets within five degrees of the M.E.P activate the house for better or

worse .

The emphasis is on the functional nature of planets .

Planets are only functional malefic if their mulatrikona house falls in the

6th ,8th or 12th .All other planets are considered functional benefic except

Rahu and Ketu which are considered functional malefic for all ascendents .

i.e

Aries has Rahu, Ketu amd Mercury as Functional malefics .

Taurus has Rahu,Ketu,Venus,Jupiter and Mars as functionally malefic

Gemini has Rahu and Ketu only.

The strength of planets is obtained by testing for seven types of

weaknesses.

In any discipline one should be personally taught by an adept.

Pride of place amongst the classic works is the Brhat Parasara Hora Sasta by

Parasara Muni . Many books contain glossaries .

 

Hope this helps
