Jagannatha Hora 7.4 beta4 available for download

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

Please download the latest JHora 7.4 beta4 at

 

http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/jh/test/jh_update.zip

 

Just unzip it and run jh_update.exe that you get. I will stop adding features

and release this after New Moon. I will only fix any serious bugs reported

further.

 

Please note that this is not a full release. It is only a differential " update " .

If you have a working copy of JHora 7.3 or later on your computer, this update

will work. If not, you will need a full installation and please wait till I

release it.

 

* * *

 

The main changes in JHora 7.4 beta4 (compared to JHora 7.4 beta3) are listed

here:

 

(1) The ability to find nakshatras and nakshatra dasas based on the sidereal

zodiac even when using tropical zodiac for all other calculations was added.

Check the new checkbox in ayanamsa option dialog box.

 

(2) Sahamas found in JHora were sometimes using day time formula instead of

night time formula or vice versa, when calculated for the first time with a

birthdata. On a data update, they would be fixed. This is corrected now.

 

(3) Daylight savings time changes made in Canada in 2006 are now implemented in

JHora. Changes in US have already been implemented, but changes in Canada were

missed.

 

(4) The picture added in " About JHora " dialog box in 7.4 beta3 has been removed

so that the dialog box is not cut off on some computers.

 

* * *

 

The main features added in JHora 7.4 beta3 (compared to JHora 7.33) are listed

here. There are several other bug-fixes.

 

(1) Bhava arudha pada calculation has a new option now (not the default) to find

bhava arudha padas based on exact longitudes. This will allow you to replicate

the calculations in the free article " Padamsas and Tranits: A Research Finding "

at http://www.vedicastrologer.org/articles).

 

(2) The Vimsottari dasa based progressed chart where lagna, nine planets and

other Vimsottari dasa start points (including user defined special point and

special lagna) are progressed based on the Vimsottari dasa progression is

supported now. This will allow you to replicate the calculations in the free

article " Transits and Vimsottari Dasa Progression: A Specific Correlation " at

http://www.vedicastrologer.org/articles) and do further researches.

 

(3) In addition, progressed charts based on Yogini dasa, Kalachakra dasa and

Sudarsana Chakra dasa are also available, enabling further researches into fine

quantitative correlations between dasa based progressed charts and transit

charts.

 

(4) Gunanka scores based on ashtakoota (eight-factor) horoscope matching for

marriage are included now. Please click " View " and " Horoscope Matching Score " or

the icon in the toolbar with a man and woman. If you enter the nakshatra and

pada of bride/bridegroom, gunanka score and classification will be shown.

 

(5) JHora was only giving Ishta phala and Kashta phala calculated based on Dr

Raman's book on balas earlier. JHora now also gives Ishta Phala and Kashta Phala

of Parasara, as defined in BPHS. In addition, JHora now gives Uchcha rashmi,

Cheshta rashmi, Subha rashmi and Asubha rashmi of seven planets, as defined by

Parasara in BPHS.

 

(6) Bhava/chalit chakras of divisional charts are now available based on

divisional longitudes. House system chosen by user (e.g. Sripathi) is applied

only to bhava chart of D-1 and an equal 30-deg house system is applied to bhava

charts of other divisional charts such as D-9 and D-10. However, user selection

for whether lagna is the beginning or middle of a house is applied all bhava

charts of divisional charts too.

 

(7) Saptarshi nakshatra dasa taught by Pt Sanjay Rath in his " Brihat Nakshatra "

book is added.

 

(8) Avayogi calculation had a bug that affected 50% charts. It is fixed now.

 

(9) When listing yogi, sahayogi and avayogi, now the exact longitudes of yoga

and avayoga points are also mentioned. They are also available in the basic

longitude window now and you can see their divisional longitudes too. Some

scholars consider them important in transits (thanks to Sri Ramadas Rao for the

suggestion).

 

(10) JHora's " mundane " tab now has a button to locate the stationary transits of

planets. This will allow you to replicate the calculations in the free article

" Stationary Planets in Transit (A Research) " at

http://www.vedicastrologer.org/articles).

 

(11) A toolbar has been added at the top to add/subtract time (in units of 1

sec, 15 sec, 1 min, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month and 1 year) with the click of a

button.

 

(12) In all nakshatra dasas (Vimsottari, Ashtottari, Yogini etc), a new option

is added now and it will be remembered when you close and re-open. This option

governs how antardasas are found. Suppose mahadasas are A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H

and you need antardasas in mahadasa F. The following six options are supported:

 

F, G, H, A, B, C, D, E (start from the dasa lord and go forward)

F, E, D, C, B, A, H, G (start from the dasa lord and go backward)

G, H, A, B, C, D, E, F (start from the next dasa lord and go forward)

G, F, E, D, C, B, A, H (start from the next dasa lord sign and go backward)

E, F, G, H, A, B, C, D (start from the previous dasa lord and go forward)

E, D, C, B, A, H, G, F (start from the previous dasa lord and go backward)

 

The default for Shodasottari is the 6th option. The default for Ashtottari dasa

and Dwadasottari dasa is the 3rd option. For others, 1st option is the default.

However, you can experiment any option with any nakshatra dasa and draw your

conclusions!

 

(13) Previously only Vimsottari dasa could be started from nakshatras occupied

by references in divisional charts. Though the dasa options dialog box gave the

divisional chart selection for other nakshatra dasas also, it had no effect.

This has been fixed. All nakshatra dasas can now be computed based on the

nakshatra occupied by references in divisional charts.

 

(14) " Uniform Krishna Mishra navamsa " based on my independent interpretation of

Krishna Mishra's verses on navamsa is added. This version results in a chart

that represents all signs uniformly, whereas the version of Krishna Mishra

navamsa shared by Shanmukha earlier, which is also supported in JHora, is biased

towards some signs, i.e. some signs occur 12 times, some signs occur 9 times and

some signs occur only 6 times. In uniform variation, all signs occur 9 times.

 

(15) The defaults in JHora are historically set to various values and I tend to

not change defaults as that seems to create confusion. However, my own

recommendations have evolved over the time. I added a menu item to set

preferences to my liking ( " Preferences " >> " Related to calculations " >> " Set

Calculation Options as recommended by author " ). If you click it, all preferences

(ayanamsa, sunrise, chara karaka definition etc) will be set based on what *I*

recommend.

 

(16) Import/export feature of preferences is added. If you select " File " ,

" Export preferences (.ini file) " , it will save the preferences to a .ini file

with the location and file name selected by user through a file save dialog box.

If you select " File " , " Import preferences (.ini file) " , it will load the

preferences from a .ini file with location and name selected by user through a

file open dialog box. This enables you to back up your settings and try the

settings sent by other people.

 

A few other bugs, kinks and instabilities were addressed.

 

Please download the update, try it and let me know of any issues. I will be

fixing any critical issues left and officially releasing it very soon. Please do

not send me any new feature requests at this time. I will only be looking at

critical malfunctions and not adding any features or calculations.

 

If you have any issues, please email me your jhora.ini file. It can be found in

the jhcore sub-directory in the directory where you installed JHora. That file

will tell me your settings. Some issues can be reproduced only when one uses

exactly the same settings.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

Dear Narasimha,

The " Set calculation options as recommended by Author " is still using True

Nodes and not mean nodes. You have mentioned in a recent message that you are

using Mean nodes. I suspect this is a nit bug, but it might distract a few

people...

Cheers, Sharath

[Guest guest]

Respected Narasimha Ji,

 

Thanks for adding Bhava Chalita based on longitudes.

 

Sir, can we not see one chart in the top with Bhava Chalit chart of D-1 and

simultaneously Bhava Chalit of D-9 or D-10 etc in the bottom of left pane of

chart area; as I am finding that if I select Bhava Chalit of either D-chart both

charts become the same Bhava Chalit Chart, except if I select back the Rasi

Chart.

 

Sir, many times we need to compare the D-1 and other div chart, so it may be

useful in comparing case of Bhava charts too.

 

I do not know, if I am finding incorrectly or not, but I am using my Birth data

DOB: 15 aug, 1959, TOB: 7h 23m 5s, POB:82E55'12 " , 26N1'11 " (Azamgarh)

 

With regards

 

Akhilesh Singh

Namaste,

 

This was the easiest way for me to make the feature available. Giving ability to

see bhava chakras of various divisions together will take more time.

 

Thanks,

Narasimha
