Running the VJyotish

Now you are ready to run VJyotish program. Run "Vjyotish.exe" (located in your C:\Vjyotish\ directory). If you are new to computers, please read "Instructions for new computer users" section of this document to locate and run this program file.

Once you start Vjyotish, the following screens will appear in sequence:

(a) Enter Pcode:

First of all, the program will need your Pcode (a 5 character alpha-numeric code, eg: "R0107"). This Pcode is your identifying code given by us. This code is unique to each person. The code can be entered either in lower or upper case. If your entered code is correct, the next screen will show your horoscope to confirm it. Just press any key to move further.

If you are running the demonstration of the program, the default Pcode is "XXXXX" and you may just press "Enter key". It will show the horoscope of Diana, The Princess of wales. Just press any key to move further.

The next two screens will show messages, showing program introduction, version number etc. Just press any key to move further.

Note: If you forget your Pcode, just check the C:\Vjyotish\ directory. The 5 character long file names with .DBF and  .RSH extensions also denote your Pcode . For example, if there are files N0088.DBF  and N0088.RSH in C:\Vjyotish directory, it indicates that your Pcode is "N0088". Remember your Pcode and enter it correctly. This is your customer code in our records.

(b) Enter the password:

An optional "user password" facility is provided in the program. If your computer has access of other people also, you may opt to give a password to prevent their access to your Vjyotish reports. For details, please click here

(c) Options for report output:

The next screen will ask your option for the report output. There are two options available in Vjyotish:

a.    You may save the report as a disk-file. This disk-file may be opened, later on, through any word-processor or text-editor, and a print-out can be had if needed. Press "D" to choose this option.

b.   The most preferred mode is to view the indexes on screen (computer monitor) itself. Press "S" to choose this option.

(d) Your preferred mode of report:

The next screen asks you about your preferred mode of report. There are three modes in which you can create various indexes:

      a. Single aspects   b. Multiple aspects   c. Text report

a.             Single aspects:      In this mode, you may choose any particular aspect of your life  from the list of hundreds of aspects given in the Vjyotish's exhaustive menu and get prepared the VJyotish index of that particular single aspect for the desired period, on date-wise basis.

When you choose this mode, the next screen will show you a list of  major groups of a  person's life. After you choose a group, you are in a sub-menu where you choose the exact aspect of your life, which you want to get analyzed astrologically. Choose any one aspect among the hundreds of them available. Some of the sub-menus also contain sub-sub menus.

In this mode, Vjyotish also provides you a facility to make your own tailor-made index (see the last index option in main menu with the same heading). Here, you can choose relevant houses and planets, as per your own astrological wisdom, for any aspect of the life to be analyzed.

This option allows you to name your index yourself. You also specify the relevant houses and planets for that index. You have the option whether the lords of  specified houses should also be considered or not. By default, the program gives equal weightage to all the houses and planets specified. But it gives you the option to vary the weightages of various specified houses and planets. If you opt to consider the lords of specified houses also, whatever the weightages are assigned by you to the houses concerned, the same weightages are also used for their lords.

This feature of  Vjyotish allows you to experiment extensively and to create your own new indexes which has not been included in the program.

b.             Multiple aspects:       Another way of using VJyotish is that you get some important aspects of your life, simultaneously prepared for each date. Each group contains indexes just relevant to the particular heading. For example, if you wish to plan your travels, choose "The wandering you" option. It contains 8 indexes showing the auspiciousness of eight directions; suitability of travel by air, road, long journeys; short journeys etc. This way, you are able to have a microscopic view on various aspects just relevant to help you in planning your travels. There are several such groups under this option.

This option can also be used for any length of desired period.

c.              Text report:          [This option is under development.]

We recommend you to read "Features and facilities in Vjyotish" section for more details.

(e) Index needed for which dates:

The next screen asks you to specify the "start date" and the "end date". Enter the two dates from where you need the indexes to start and upto which indexes should be drawn. These dates can not be prior to or further to the dates, we have authorized you (as per your order) to create indexes. This date range is also shown on the upper side of this very screen.You may enter any dates falling in between this date range.

By default, the program will show the system date as the "start date". But you may change it to any other date, prior or further to it, subject to the above condition.

Press "enter-key" or "down-arrow key". The required index will be drawn.

Remark:

·       To properly interpret the indexes, please read "How to interpret the Vjyotish indexes" section.

·       Terminating the report midway

If you have given a longer date range, and suddenly you wish to stop the program midway, you may press the "End-key" to stop it. Keep the "End-key" pressed for a few seconds continuously. The report will stop.

·       Once you are done with an index, following three options will appear in a sequence:

1.       Do you want to draw the same index for another dates ?

It means whether you wish to make the same index, you have just seen, for another dates. If you answer "Yes", the program will ask you for next date range. However, if you answer "No" at this question prompt, the next prompt will ask you that whether you wish to draw any other index ?

2.       Do you want to draw any other index ?

If you answer "Yes" here, the program will show you the program menu again, where from you can choose the desired index. However, if you answer "No" at this question prompt, the next prompt will ask you that whether you want to draw indexes in any other mode ?

3.        Do you want to draw Vjyotish indexes in any other mode ?

If you answer "Yes" here, the program will ask you about your preferred mode of report again. As we have already told you earlier that there are three modes in which you can create various indexes, i.e. Single aspect mode, Multiple aspects mode and Text report mode. You can choose any one mode from the above three modes. (The "Text report mode" is under development and currently not available).

However, if you answer "No" at this question prompt, the Vjyotish will terminate.
