Frequently asked questions
Do I need desktop software to calculate a horoscope?
No. Browser-based tools can generate charts without a local installation. Desktop software may be useful for offline access, research workflows, saved settings or specialised calculations.
Is every program on this page maintained by OnlineJyotish?
No. Only the Hindu Jyotish web app is presented as an OnlineJyotish service. Jagannatha Hora and Maitreya’s Dream are third-party projects with their own publishers, licences, update policies and support channels.
How can I download third-party astrology software more safely?
Use the publisher’s official page, confirm the file name and version, keep the operating system and security tools updated, scan the installer and make a backup before changing an existing installation.
Why can two astrology programs show different charts?
Results can differ because of Ayanamsha, mean or true nodes, house system, coordinates, timezone and daylight-saving data, geocentric or topocentric settings, ephemeris choice and rounding.
Should I import private client charts into unfamiliar software?
Only after reviewing how the software stores, exports, synchronises or transmits data. Obtain permission before entering another person’s birth information and protect backups containing personal data.
Does free software mean that every feature and update will remain free?
Not necessarily. Features, licences, download locations and maintenance policies can change. Review the current publisher information before installing or relying on a program.
Which option is suitable for a beginner?
A browser-based tool can be easier for a first calculation. A desktop program may be preferable once the user needs saved settings, extensive tables or research-oriented features.
Does OnlineJyotish provide support for third-party programs?
No support commitment is implied for third-party software. Installation, compatibility, bugs and updates should be addressed through the relevant publisher or project documentation.
