You can calculate the rasi chart and its vargas in the North, South and East Indian styles, follow the dashas with sub-periods down to eight levels, measure the strength of the planets with Shadbala and Ashtakavarga, and explore the Panchanga and the Muhurta in a scrollable timeline and calendar.

The Vedic tools make up the Vedic edition, which also includes basic Western astrology features, and they are included in Pro and Financial Gold as well.

Charts and Styles

You can draw a Vedic chart in the North Indian, South Indian or East Indian style, on the nakshatras wheel, or on a dual-zodiac wheel with the tropical and sidereal zodiacs as two rings. The planets can appear as glyphs, as English letters or in Sanskrit, and the Vedic Chart Style Designer lets you decide what each chart style shows. Synastry charts are available in both the Vedic and the Western styles. You can choose from more than 40 ayanamsas or enter your own (user-defined) value, and use the true or the mean Rahu and Ketu.
