Download Jagannatha Hora 7.3

[Guest guest]

Namaste,

 

You can now download Jagannatha Hora 7.3 from

 

www.VedicAstrologer.org/jh

 

This has several bug-fixes and improvements. A few salient improvements:

 

(1) Apart from Lahiri ayanamsa, one can now use a modified Lahiri ayanamsa that

fixes Chitra star at 180 deg. One can also use another modified Lahiri ayanamsa

that uses the fixed solar system rotation plane (Vishnunabhi plane) for

projecting the co-ordinates rather than the oscillating ecliptic plane and fixes

Chitra star at 180 deg.

 

(2) In chara karaka calculation, now there are 4 options. The hybrid 7/8 karaka

method of Parasara given in my recent article and karaka dasa are also included.

 

(3) Tripataki chakra, Shoola chakra and Sudarsana chakra are added.

 

(4) One can locate transits of Jupiter, Saturn and nodes in any house from the

dasa/antardasa sign (in the case of rasi dasas) or the sign occupied in natal

rasi chart by the dasa/antardasa lord (in the case of planetary dasas) during

the dasa/antardasa. For example, you can find if slow moving planets transit the

10th house from dasa sign during a rasi dasa.

 

(5) Many bugs and instabilities are fixed. For example, there was a crash when a

divisional chart is used in sarvatobhadra chakra and some other chakras in the

past. Such crashes and bugs are fixed.

 

(6) Two options are available for Tithi Pravesha. One can mix solar months with

soli-lunar days (tithis) as taught by Sanjay ji or just use soli-lunar months as

done in tradition for celebrating birthdays and festivals (e.g. Sri Rama Navami,

Janmashtami).

 

(7) Installer has been simplified and made easy. Font installation had problems

in the past. Now it should be fine. One should be abke to view charts in Indian

languages without problems now.

 

(8) Updating to the latest JHora will be easier in future. You can seamlessly

update without remembering where you installed or doing any copying manually.

 

(9) The user preference storing mechanism has been simplified. All preferences

are now stored in jhora.ini (present in jhcore sub-directory in the directory

chosen by user for JHora installation). It is a flexible format. If user updates

to later versions in future, one's preferences will not be lost again and one

will not have to reconfigure. In this version, however, all preferences will be

reset to defaults. Please change them to what you like. You will not have to do

it again. It is a good idea to back up this jhora.ini file in jhcore directory.

If you PC crashes and you re-install JHora, you can copy the backed up file to

get your preferences. In future, jhora.ini saved with any version of JHora can

be read by any version of JHora.

 

There are several other bug-fixes and improvements. In general, this will be the

stable base version going forward. Please discontinue using previous versions

and move to this. Those who maintain copies of JHora for downloading should also

change to 7.3. Please stop using or distributing previous versions of JHora.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha
