| The
                  concept of "Vjyotish Index" that we are introducing you, is like a projected
                  balance sheet of the concerned market for the given period. Vedic astrology captures this
                  balance sheet from time tested mundane horoscopes. By analyzing these
                  indices, you can gauge the rising and falling
                  trends of a market.
                  
                   This
                  is our humble effort to strip off astrology from all its
                  alchemy and magical image to its proper place as any other
                  modern liberal science and make astrology relevant for the new
                  millennium.
                  
                  
                   What
                  is a Vjyotish Index ?
 A
                  Vjyotish Index is drawn from the cumulative "net
                  astrological effects" of 9 different planets - Sun, Moon,
                  Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu; and 12
                  houses-
                  computed on the basis of the concerned mundane horoscope.
                  Vedic astrology does not consider Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
                  
                   We
                  have calculated the "net effect" of each planet and
                  house (algebraic sum of its positive and negative effects) for each
                  day. The algebraic sum of net effect of relevant houses and planets (qualifying the parameters like -
                  Lords of the relevant houses, Significator, Dasa lords, etc.)
                  are summed for any given day which becomes the "Vjyotish index value" for
                  that day. These positive and negative effects have been computed on the basis of
                  ancient Vedic astrological principles and are unique for
                  each horoscope. Vjyotish index is shown in the form of a
                  bar-graph of the cumulative value of the daily net effect of
                  required constituents. The bar-graph is plotted as horizontal
                  bars on a vertical axis which represents the time period.
                  
 Note:
                  Sometimes, a market index is drawn on the basis of a
                  Western astrology principle. In that case, Uranus, Neptune and
                  Pluto. are also considered.
 
 Constitution of a Vjyotish index:
 The
                  optimum value of a Vjyotish index 
                  is "zero". Astrological values generated by Vjyotish for any
                  single date, may be either a 'negative'
                  or 'positive' value.
                  Negative values are plotted as 'red horizontal bars'
                  on the left side and positive values as 'green
                  horizontal bars' on the right side of the index's
                  vertical date axis. The vertical axis itself also represents the 'zero-line'.
                  
                  
                   
                  
                  
                   The
                  concerned "Month"
                  and "Year"
                  are shown on the upper left-hand corner of the index, parallel
                  to the starting date. "Date"
                  itself is shown on the vertical axis of the index.
                  
                  
                  
                  
                   The maximum
                  and minimum Vjyotish values, during the period under consideration, are
                  shown at the top of the chart in a horizontal bar. Both these
                  figures are same, except that, one is positive and other is
                  negative. The negative figure is written on the left and
                  positive one on the right side of this bar. These are
                  self-generated astrological values by the program. Either of
                  these figures must have been touched by the respective index
                  during the period under consideration. Please
                  read
                  "Background
                  and technical explanation" for more information
                  
                  
                  
                   Caution:
                  
                  
                   If the
                  period under consideration is smaller than a year (say,
                  it's a 30 days index), it must be borne in the mind that it is
                  simply showing a magnified "piece" from a broader
                  picture (say for example - from a 365 days index). 
                  
                  
                  
                   If we draw a
                  365 days index, these maximum and minimum values may
                  altogether be different in that broader perspective. Then, the
                  size of "red"
                  and "green"
                  horizontal bars in the index may considerably change due to
                  their adjustments as per the new "maximum"
                  and "minimum"
                  values. However, the index pattern will remain the same. 
                  
                  
                  
                  
                   Therefore,
                  it is always advisable to check the index of a large period to
                  draw better conclusions.
                  
                  
 Author's
                  observations with the Vjyotish indexes
                  
                  
                   The
                  author's personal observations with the Vjyotish indexes has
                  gathered him some experience to use them more efficiently. It
                  will be better to keep in mind the following points, while
                  using VJyotish indexes:
                  
                   
                  
                  
                   -     Vjyotish
                  indexes gives excellent results while trying to find the "turning points" in a market. The author's experience
                  shows that there are sudden turns in a particular market when
                  there are extreme changes in Vjyotish index values. Watch out,
                  specially, for extremely negative or positive dates in it. You
                  might be looking at some very significant turning points of a market. 
                  
                  
                  
                   -       Actual
                  market behaviour may differ from the Vjyotish index by one or
                  two days. 
                  
                  
                  
                  
                   -
                       The results
                  are more authentic, whenever, either  'red'
                  or 'green'
                  
                  bars are shown continuously for a long patch of time. Do not
                  use the index, when flickering results are there in it.
                  Thicker the  "red"
                  or "green"
                  patch in the index, the greater the probability is.
                  
                  
                  
                  
                   -      Some times
                  it has been observed that if the market fails to rise in the
                  extremely  "green
                  period", 
                  shown by the Vjyotish index, the market falls
                  substantially thereafter at the end of this  "green
                  period".
                   It makes the previous "green period" 
                  look like
                  a peak when seen from a substantially low zone after a few
                  days. Therefore, be cautious and expect a substantial fall if
                  markets do not rise while Vjyotish values were quite positive.
