For those of you who are old enough to remember, astrologers at one time had available to them a great research tool in the form of Lois Rodden\u2019s AstroDataBank that ran on Microsoft\u2019s Access database software. Personally, I made great use of it more than a decade ago when I was writing my book Parivartana Yoga<\/em>, allowing me to find every famous person in the then-existent database who had one among the 66 different house lord exchange combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since those days, the software fell into disuse, victim of many subsequent Window upgrades that no longer supported its use, not to mention the sale of Rodden\u2019s database to Astrodienst.com, where it has since become part of their vast and reputable store of astrological birth data for tens of thousands of notable nativities and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for the research-minded, even if you\u2019re only a teacher who wants more examples of a Gaja-Kesari<\/em> yoga, or a Chandra-Mangala<\/em> yoga formed in trikasthanas<\/em>, etc, help is now at hand. Several years ago, Iranian astrologer and jyotishi <\/em>Ehsan Khazeni developed a program that performs many of the search features we\u2019re interested in. Thanks to Sunil John, this useful little program is now made available for free on the Saptarishis site, where it goes by the name of Saptarishis Astrological Research Software<\/em>, abbreviated occasionally as SARS, more often as SRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how to download a copy of the software for your own use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to https:\/\/saptarishisastrology.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. I don’t think you need to become a member to access the SRS, but just in case, you can always sign up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Click on the link to the bookshop at the top of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. On the Bookshop page, go to the Software menu and pull down to choose SRS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. On the SRS order page, choose BUY NOW (for free) if that’s all you want to do, and it will then ask you for name and email address, and that’s it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
