It is thought of computers that whatever we feed, it will do it very efficiently. We agree that with the help of a computer, horoscope can be calculated but it is also necessary to know the level of knowledge of the person who has designed the software in astrology and computers. We took up many types of astrological softwares and checked their mathematics and found that the calculations are okay upto the horoscope but when it comes to Varshphal (one-year forecast) softwares’ calculation proved wrong. The way we piece up every bit of planetary evidence in the form of horoscope, Varshphal (one-year forecast) and the way we unravel things in the predictive portion, computers are unable to do and secondly when there occurs an error in mathematical astrology itself then the predictive portion automatically goes wrong.

Astrological Research Centre does all its calculations on its own since 1952 and then works on the predictive portion. Working on the computer software we come to know that there are a number of shortcomings in it like in match making. It gives predictions almost like zodiac forecast, gives auspicious days, dates and prescribes auspicious gems. Whereas research shows that computerized predictions are not accurate.

As the mathematics and its accuracy in astrology software depends on the level of the knowledge of the person designing that software, in the same manner in manual mathematics also the accuracy depends on the level of knowledge of the person working out all the calculations, as a priest who is in temple whose work is to perform puja or arti, in the same manner after studying astrology it depends on a person to do his work correctly. Our centre has collected about 40000 horoscopes with their rough calculations from 1990 to 2004, which we do, on every horoscope given to us (whether computerized or manual) by ourselves and then gives the predictions in writing because if the horoscope is wrong then predictions will also go wrong. Whereas today some institutes are teaching how to study ands make predictions from computer horoscopes again the fact to be considered is what is the level of knowledge of the person designing the software.

Today when there are errors even in panchangas and it has become difficult to work without making proper corrections next it is to be seen that at which place the panchanga is prepared and for which place the panchanga is prepared and then the latitude and longitude of that place is to be considered.

Hence it is seen that it is difficult to believe in computerized astrological predictions and in predictive astrology the more you will experiment the more you will progress like the achievement of our institution is 27 day Varshphal ( 27 Day forecast).
