Significations

We combed many classics to compile a rich set of significations for each Graha. You can easily access these by right-clicking on a planet, and selecting the "Significations" command. This will be very useful as a reference in many situations. From here, you can also see the significations for the lagna, other planets, signs, bhavas, nakshatras, drekkana and panchang elements too, by selecting them from the list box in the left upper corner or by clicking on the relevant tab.

Planetary info

To see an exhaustive summary of a planet's strength, auspiciousness, and numerous other factors, right-click on the planet and select "Show calculations". Many of the items in this report are hyperlinked, and you can click on them to see further information.

Aspects

To quickly see the aspects to any planet, and the aspects given by that planet, right-click on that planet and select the "Show aspects" command from the popup menu. A new "mini-worksheet" will launch, and show the aspects in two graphs.

In the example below, Jupiter was right-clicked. On the left, the graph shows aspect on Jupiter, and you can see a very strong aspect from Rahu (the tallest bar). There is no aspect from Mars (no bar). The graph on the right shows Jupiter's aspects on other planets. In this example, Jupiter gives a 100% full aspect on Moon (the tallest green bar), and a 90% aspect on Saturn and Rahu. These aspects are based on the exact degrees between the planets, which is the classics' superior method of calculating aspects.

Yoga search

When analyzing a planet in the birthchart, it is often very good to be aware of what yogas the planet is involved with. That is made very easy now! Just right-click the planet and select "Search yogas". All yogas that have the planet involved in whatever possible way will be found and listed.

Similar planets placement

If you like to see another chart with a Moon that is placed just like yours, right click on the Moon (it could be any planet of course), and select "Show most similar chart". The tool will search for all charts that have a similarly placed Moon as compared to yours. For example, if your Moon is in Taurus/Rohini in the 4th house, the search will probably yield people with Moon in the 4th or in Taurus or in Rohini or combinations thereof. It will also try to match the same conjunctions, if the Moon is with other planets in the same sign. Of course you need enough charts in your collection to expect a sizable result of this search.
