To PVR ji - Bhava-chalit chakra reference and Ra-Ke antizodiacal reckoning

[Guest guest]

Respected Narasimha Ji

 

> 1. Sir, when I click the button for " Choose the reference for Bhava/Chalit

Chakra " , I notice a check-box already checked-in indicating " Bhavas from Ra/Ke

are reckoned anti-zodiacally " .

> What I gather by this is that after choosing Bhava-chalit chakra, we should

see its graha drishti as the 2nd, 5th, 7th and 9th Bhavas from Ra counting

houses anti-zodiacally; or similarly the 2nd, 4th, 5th and 11th should be its

argla houses again anti-zodiacally. But, whether I am wrong somewhere or not, in

the JHora 7.4 release, when I am right-clicking 'Ra' -> then left clicking

'Highlight rasi(s)' -> and then left clicking 'aspected by this planet (graha

drishti)'or left clicking 'having argala on this rasi'etc, then the JHora

highlights the houses zodiacally instead of anti-zodiacally. I therefore request

to kindly see if I am going wrong somewhere or something is left untouched while

revising the software.

>

> 2. Sir, secondly, in the same button for " Choose the reference for

Bhava/Chalit Chakra " , we may choose the refenences as Lagna, Moon etc for

Bhava/chalit chakra. Sir, I am confused as to then what does the " Choose the

reference longitude for finding houses (lagna or moon etc) " option give when we

right click the page on 'Houses' tab of 'Basic' tab. Both of above options for

Bhava/chalit chakra behave differently. Sir, I do not know if I am wrong

somewhere, but have lingering doubt whether there might have been left untouched

some thing which should have been revised too.

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).

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'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).

> >

> > (6) The graha drishti of various planets on various houses from lagna,

various planets and other bodies and various houses from various arudha padas

(if longitude-based arudha padas are used) is evaluated and displayed in an

aspect view. One can mix and match different divisional charts and natal

chart/transit chart. One can evaluate aspects of D-9 longitudes of transit

planets on D-10 logngitudes of natal planets for example. Aspects are quantified

and shown as percentages, using Parasara's formulas for evaluating

longitude-based aspects.

> >

> > (7) 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.

> >

> > (8) Bhava/chalit chakras of divisional charts using various bodies as

reference (e.g. lagna, Moon, Jupiter, GL etc) are now available based on

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

only to bhava chart of D-1 when lagna is used as the reference and an equal

30-deg house system is applied to bhava charts of other divisional charts such

as D-9 and D-10 or when a reference other than lagna is used in D-1. However,

user selection for whether the reference is the beginning or middle of a house

is applied to bhava charts of all divisional charts from all references.

> >

> > (9) 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.

> >

> > (10) Saptarshi nakshatra dasa taught by Pt Sanjay Rath in his " Brihat

Nakshatra " book is added.

> >

> > (11) Avayogi calculation had a bug that affected 50% charts. It is fixed

now.

> >

> > (12) 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).

> >

> > (13) 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.

> >

> > (14) 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!

> >

> > (15) 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.

> > (16) 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.

> >

> > (17) 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.

> >

> > (18) " 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.

> >

> > (19) 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.

> >

> > (20) 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.

> > (21) Links to a few important websites are added to the main menu. One can

visit jhora by clicking a menu, for example.

features made available in this version. If you are offering JHora on your

website for a download, please update to JHora 7.4.
