Internet: Free Vedic Astrology Softwares Offered Online

Vedic Astrology (also known as Jyotish, Hindu Astrology or Indian Astrology) originated from The Vedas, which are arguably the oldest scriptures in the world today. The Vedic system of astrology is regarded as the oldest of all schools of ancient astrology to have had an independent origin.

MysticBoard.com, an astrology forum and website, has announced the launch of three Vedic Astrology softwares: MB Free Rashi Software, MB Free Nakshatra Software and MB Free Lagna Software.

Swetha Lodha, CEO of MysticBoard.com, says, "For the past two years Mystic Board has been striving to create awareness and educate people about astrology and its benefits, which is why we have launched these softwares for free. Today good astrology softwares cost an arm and a leg, making them almost impossible for an average person to posses. And Vedic Astrology softwares are even rarer to find and or buy. Developing these softwares wasn't an easy task, keeping in mind the complex nature of the subject. But this was a challenge that we took up and we have come out with flying colors. If people gain positively from them, we shall feel that our efforts have been put to good use."

Rashi or Moon Sign helps one determine the characteristics of a person from an astrological point of view. In Sanskrit, a rashi means a heap or a cluster. Vedic astrology gives more importance to the moon than the sun. The moon is responsible for our emotions, intellect and material wealth.

Nakshatra or the Birth Star of an individual plays an important role in describing the mental attitude. It also describes your thought process, intuition, and sub conscious behavior as well as destiny. Naksha means "to approach" and Tra means to "guard". Nakshatras are also known as lunar mansions or birth star or lunar asterisms. It is said that the Nakshatra system is much older than the Rashi or sign system. Nakshatras are very significant and are supposed to show us our karmic path.

Lagna or Vedic Ascendant which is the sign that is ascending at the time of birth along with the moon sign is also considered very important in Vedic astrology. This is the sign in the eastern horizon at the time of birth. The bottom line is that the Lagna establishes the kind of body, health, life or endurance, as well as noticeable qualities of an individual evident to the world.

Precision is a major factor when doing Vedic Astrological calculations and when asked about the accuracy of the software, Swetha says, "Our softwares have been acknowledged to be highly accurate, reliable and have been appreciated by many expert astrologers on the board. Getting the calculations right has taken time and lots of patience to achieve." She further says, and rather proudly that, "We have also already started research and development of more new Vedic Astrology softwares related to birth charts, planetary periods, divisional charts and compatibility charts. Add all the above to a whole range of Western Astrology Softwares - the zodiac sign softwares, compatibility softwares and horoscope software - and you have a "never-before-done-or-attempted-and-absolutely-free" suite of Astrology softwares and resource."
