Shri Jyoti Star 9.0
Very Important Note:
Andrew Foss has created a new version of Shri Jyoti Star, called Version 10, which has many new features but these major limitations:
It can only be purchased on the Microsoft Windows app website.
It can only be purchased via a subscription
that renews perpetually unless you specify otherwise.
It will only run on Windows 10 and 11 computers
(no Macs or Windows 7 PCs).
This means that no distributors can sell version 10
nor provide any customer support for it, including me.
So if you want to run Shri Jyoti Star
on a Mac (under Crossover), or on a Windows 7 PC,
or refuse to purchase subscription software (as I do),
you can purchase Shri Jyoti Star 9 below:

To order Shri Jyoti Star 9.0:
Shri Jyoti Star is a phenomenally powerful and versatile Vedic astrology program that runs under Windows and also on Macs that either have Crossover or Windows installed on them.
I highly recommend getting Shri Jyoti Star via download because you will receive it much more quickly, get the very latest version (instead of needing to update the much older version provided on the CD), and avoid shipping and duty fees. (And you can copy the downloaded file to a flash drive or CD for backup or for installing on another PC.)
Note: as with most computer software, all astrology software sales are final. In the unlikely case that you have issues installing or running Shri Jyoti Star, Andrew will help you to resolve them.

Shri Jyoti Star 9
In the past few months, Andrew has released the latest version of Shri Jyoti Star, version 9.
This version has important updates to the time-change atlas, the supremely accurate Chitrapaksha ayanamsha, and a phenomenal new Rectification Screen:
The above screen shows you events that you've entered in Vimshottari and Chara Dasas showing the changes that earlier and later birth times make, as well as a Planetary Positions table and a set of 5 divisional charts, that you can easily shift forward and backward in time by chosen increments.
A Phenomenal tool!
Other enhancements include:
Crossover Compatible (for the Mac or Linux - only tested on the Mac) which allows Mac users to freely use this phenomenal program by installing Crossover first.
No restriction on the size of Notes
More Screen Pages: 36 instead of 24

My Mountain Astrologer of Shri JyotiStar 7 Pro
Updated!
Shri Jyoti Star has been the preeminent Vedic astrology program for many years for Windows Pcs (and for Macs running Windows). Version 7 has recently been released, with many new features and significant enhancements.
Shri Jyoti Star 7 Pro now uses the Swiss Ephemeris for superb precision, and can import charts from Goravani's Jyotish, and Parashara's Light (as well as Quick*Charts, Solar Fire, and Jhora files).
Perhaps the most radical change is the new Choices and Options menu. Instead of thematic screens (e.g. Charts, Tables, Graphs, etc.), there is a simple search field followed by a list of the same choices. If you enter even partial search terms, like col for color, or click on any item in the list, the program swiftly takes you to the relevant features and options. The menu allows you to back up a step, change the font size, and return to the beginning menu. It remembers your favorite choices and makes them readily available. It took me a bit of time to appreciate how quickly one can find things using the menu, but it's definitely growing on me.
The new Dashas and Events graph has an excellent depiction of the dasas to five levels and life events for the native or for a second chart, for a month, year, decade, or 100 years. It's slider allows you to choose any date to see its auspiciousness, too.
The Ingresses graph is equally impressive. You can choose sign or nakshatra ingresses for a period of a day, week, month, year, or 5 years; include the outer planets, and select a color scheme to indicate dignity, malefic/benefic status, or Ashtakavarga or Sarvaashtakavarga strength.
Perhaps even more useful is the new Collated Transits Report. Like the hit listings in Western astrology programs, this generates an entering-exact-leaving chronological listing of the aspects between transiting planets and natal points. The choice of natal points is outstanding and includes the planets and Lagna, upagrahas, house cusps, Arudha Padas, and Special Lagnas. You can choose Vedic or Rashi aspects (or both), choose a 1 degree or 5 degree orb, omit Lunar transits, and include transits to transits and outer planets.
The Kaksha Report and Ashtakavarga Reports are also quite valuable, helping pinpoint the best dates and times.
One of the most pioneering enhancements in version 7 is the SarvatoBhadra Chakra Biwheel. Many astrologers use the SarvatoBhadra Chakra to determine the effects of transits upon a chart, but here you can view both transiting and natal at once and the Nakshatra aspects between them. The Chakra shows Special Nakshatras and can display the Surya and Chandra Kalanal Chakras too.
There are many lovely touches in the program. While viewing a divisional chart, you can switch to different calculation variants with a single click. Similarly, it's simple to see where the current date and time (and life events that you've entered into the program) fall in dasa listings, because there is an "n" or "e" next to the date for now and events, respectively. The retrograde graph now shows the date of directional change. And there are new delineations for Nakshatras derived from the Taittiriya Brahmana.
Custom Search can search for points at specific Tara Bala positions or Special Nakshatra placements. Charts and screens can be saved in many formats, including PDFs. And the program has beautiful backgrounds to be added to screens and printouts.
Finally, version 7 has an incredibly valuable Rectification Table. It shows the events that you've entered for a chart with five columns of dasas and subperiods for each. For example, you could select a time step of one minute, and it would show the dasas down to 6 sub-periods for two minutes earlier, one minute earlier, the current birth time, one minute later, and two minutes later. It can brilliantly hide all of the levels that don't change, so you can focus on what does change with each time shift. A truly effective tool!
All in all, Shri Jyoti Star 7 Pro is revolutionary. It has advances in its basic operation and more commonly used features, and the addition of functions of remarkable power. Vedic astrologers will rejoice at the versatility and range of this superlative program.

Shri Jyoti Star 7: A First Look
Andrew Foss has just released the latest version of his foremost Vedic astrology program.
Version 7 offers several innovations and improvements including:
Perhaps one of the most useful new features is the new transit report. It prints out a color-coded listing of transiting events with entering orb, exact hit, and leaving orb dates.
You can choose an orb (1 degree, 5 degrees, or whole sign), the natal points (e.g. transits to planets, house cusps, include upagrahas or Arudha padas), Vedic or Rashi aspects, only transit-to-natal or also transit-to-transit, include Outer planet aspects, include or omit omit the Lunar ones.
I will be exploring additional features, but for now here's a list of enhancements and new features from Andrew:
New Vimshottari Dasha graph with events. Zoom in and out on the dashas from one month to 100 years to quickly see what is going on over time.
Combine with the new Ingress graph for signs and nakshatras and enhanced graphs of Retrogression and other factors to get the whole view at a glance.
All new, easy, searchable Choices and Options dialog gets you what you want at high speed. An advanced search algorithm and a favourites list make life easy.
New Rectification Table greatly speeds up the process of rectifying based on dashas and events.
Supports Unicode for names and notes, Devanagari, Japanese, Chinese and more.
Enhanced Reports - New text on Nakshatras. Dedicated listings of Transits (collated), Kakshyas and Ashtakavarga with Sarvashtakavarga for up to a year at a time.

New KP Significators table.
Improved Varshphal functioning.
