1. Localization & Display

Customize the platform to fit your preferred workflow:

  • Language: Choose between English or Hindi for the entire user interface.

  • Date & Time Formats: Select your preferred global display format for birth records and analysis timestamps.


2. Numerology Calculation Defaults

Set your preferred methodology for all new numerology reports:

  • Chart Calculation Mode: Choose Vedic or Loshu as your default grid layout.

  • Name Numerology Mode: Select Chaldean or Pythagorean as the standard for name analysis.


3. Astrology Standard Defaults

Define the astronomical rules for your astrology calculations:

  • Ayanamsa: Set your global standard (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, Krishnamurti).

  • Rahu Mode: Toggle between True Rahu (precise movement) or Mean Rahu (average movement).

  • Chart Style: Select between North Indian (House-centric) or South Indian (Sign-centric) visual layouts.

  • Revolve Mode: Set the system-wide default for the Revolve feature (House vs. Planet).


4. UI Visibility Control

Keep your workspace clean by choosing what matters most to your practice:

  • Visible Astrology Charts: Select which divisional charts (D1, D9, D10, etc.) should appear by default in the analysis view.

  • Jaimini Charts: Explicitly enable or disable the Jaimini charts you use most frequently.

  • Default Place: Save a "Home Location" (City/State). This will be auto-filled in the birth data forms whenever you start a new analysis, saving minutes of typing for local consultations.


5. How to Save Preferences

  1. Navigate to Settings: Go to the Settings tab in the sidebar.

  2. Select Settings/Preferences: Click the Settings (Gear icon) tab.

  3. Update Values: Change your default modes or visibility settings.

  4. Save: Click the Save Preferences button at the bottom. Your changes will take effect immediately across all modules.


IMPORTANT

Ayanamsa Impact: Your Ayanamsa setting affects the degrees of every planet in the system. If your "Match Making" scores or "Dasha" timings seem slightly off from your manual calculations, verify your default Ayanamsa in this tab first.
