Other Astrological Views
Partner View
The partner is used in Vedic and western astrology.
The view depends upon two charts. Select the desired charts from the partner choice boxes.
Double Chart
Shows the planets of both charts in graphical representation (Vedic or western).
Vedic Partner Chart
This tab contains the Asta Koota, a compatibility analysis of Vedic astrology.
More information can be found on the Asta Koota page.
Chart 1 is the groom, chart 2 is the bride.
Composite Chart
Midpoints of the planets of both charts.
Medridian is the midpoint, too. Ascendant of the composite calculated according to Meridian.
Sarvatobhadra
Planets of both charts in graphical SBC representation.
Vargas
3 tabs with combined Varga charts.
Uranian
Planets of chart 1 in midpoints of chart 2 and vice versa.
See the ERROR:uranian section for informations about Uranian astrology.
Ephemeris View
See the related links on the right side for basic information about ephemeris calculation options
Time Zone
The time zone is either the local time zone of the default location or the Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time). Events are calculated for 0:00 of the underlying date.
Default Ephemeris
The ephemeris can be shown in western or vedic mode. Differences between these two modes are
- The list of planets is according to the configuration in Vedic resp. western astrology.
- The order of the planets is different: western mode has the astronomical order, Vedic mode has the week day order.
- Ayanamsa is calculated according to configuration for western/Vedic Ayanamsa.
- Nodes may be different, too (-according to configuration of true/mean node for western/Vedic mode).
Graphical Ephemeris
The graphical representation can be configured for different circle types (similiar to Unranian astrology).
Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise and sunset are always calculated for the default location. Even the time zone UT has the corrdinates of the default location.
Sunrise and sunset can be configured in the Ephemeris tab of the configuration dialog.
Ingress Events
This view calculates the ingress times of the objects. Western and Vedic show sign changes. Vedic view shows Nakshatra changes, too.
Tithi and Lunar Events
Tithis and lunar events are based upon the position of the Sun and the Moon, resp. the angle from Sun to Moon.
Western View
Western astrology pays attention to the classical aspects, e.g. conjunction for New Moon or opposition for Full Moon.
Vedic View
Vedic astrology divides the month (i.e. the time between 2 New Moon events) into 30 equal parts, each of 12 deg.
The first half is the bright part of the month (Sukla Paksha), the second half is the dark half of the month (Krishna Paksha).
Remark: The Tithi of a day is defined to be the Tithi at sunrise. So a birth before sunrise has the Tithi of the day before!
Krishnamurti Paddhati (K.P.) Events
K.P. events are are based upon the position of the Moon in her Nakshatras (Lunar mansions, stellar constellations).
Each Lunar position has a K.P. lord and sublord. These lords change from time to time, e.g. on a Nakshatra change of the Moon. The K.P. event view of Maitreya's ephemeris view calculates these events.
Classical K.P. astrology uses only Vimsottari Dasa. But the program calculates K.P. events for general Nakshatra Dasas, too. This feature is intended for research purposes.
Eclipse View
This view shows Lunar and Solar eclipses for a given time span.
Hora View
Hora is described in the articles section, see Hora.
