Namaste friends,

 

Jagannatha Hora 7.1 is ready for downloading. This is the latest version. It has

some bug-fixes and improvements from the previous version 7.03. The important

ones are given below:

 

(1) Jagannatha Hora now works on Windows Vista. Earlier, it would work on Vista,

but the preferences could not be saved. The problem is fixed now.

(2) US changed daylight saving time definition from 2007. The previous version

of JHora did not have the correct definition. So standard time would be

incorrectly used instead of daylight saving time for some charts in March, the

first few days of April and the last few days of October. This is fixed in

version 7.1 and daylight saving time will be correctly calculated for 2007 and

later years.

(3) Drigdasa of Parasara as explained in my Jyotish Digest article is included.

You can still use the drigdasa variation taught by some SJC gurus (including me)

in the last 10 years. However, I strongly recommend using Parasara's drigdasa.

(4) Some more options are added in ayanamsa. Specifically, you can use a

variation of Chitrapaksha ayanamsa (aka Lahiri ayanamsa) that uses the mean

Sun-earth plane for projecting planetary positions, instead of the normal

oscillating Sun-earth plane. While we are fixing the starting point of the

zodiac in each ayanamsa, the plane of the zodiac itself is oscillating in the

regular ayanamsa implementations. But the plane is also fixed in this variation.

Look for " Vishnunabhi plane (Chitrapaksha) " under the ayanamsa options. I

recommend that. It makes hardly any difference for natal charts (even in

divisional charts), but makes a difference in the divisional charts of Tithi

Pravesha charts.

(5) Some overlapping text in Kalachakra dasa and Tribhagi Vimsottari dasa in the

printouts is fixed.
