Here the partial aspects described by parasara are also considered (i.e. all planets aspect the
7th, 4th, 8th, 5th, 9th, 3rd and 10th from them). So the exact date/time when Mercury has an
exact 8th aspect on Jupiter (albeit a partial aspect, as opposed to full aspect) can be found, for
example.

Learning Aids

- List of a planets in "marana karaka sthana" in a chart and the houses occupied and owned by
them is given at a mouse click

- Permanent, temporary and compound relationships of planets can be displayed within a chart
using an intuitive color code

- Pachakadi relationships of planets and signs can be analyzed and listed out for a given chart
- Own signs, exaltation signs, debilitation signs and moolatrikonas of planets can be highlighted
to aid beginners

- Graha drishti and rasi drishti of planets can highlighted to aid beginners

- Argala and virodha argala can highlighted to aid beginners

Conveniences

- One can customize all the colors used in the software

- One can increase or decrease the font size

- One can customize the header of the chart printouts to give his/her address, phone number etc

- One can use the south Indian regular, south India irregular, north India and east Indian chart
styles

- One can view planet names and chart names in charts in ten Indian languages, including
English

- For planet and sign names, one can use English names such as Sun, Moon, Ar, Ta etc or
Sanskrit names such as Surya, Chandra, Mesh, Vrish etc.

- One can enter some notes and save them

- If one has a display that is higher than 800x600, two charts are displayed with most calculations
(rasi and navamsa by default). In the mixed chart style mode, one can view the same chart in two
chart styles (e.g. north Indian and south Indian styles). It is useful in collaboration between
astrologers used to different styles.

- There are A LOT OF customizable options and user preferences in the software, but all of them
come with default values that are recommended by me. Novices need not bother about them, but
experts can experiment with them.
