                  perhaps the
                saptamsa and dasamsa chart while analyzing
                particular areas of life. From this tool bar you can select up
                to 16 varga charts in one window. Select any group of charts
                and quickly resize them on the screen, and scroll them. As a
                convenience,
                when viewing many charts at once, you can put them in 2 columns.
                See "Chart Orientation" below. 
              Any of the 20 most common harmonics (vargas) is available (1,
                2, 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 24, 27, 30, 40, 45 and 60th
                ). Note that vargas calculations and their meaning are not the
                same as regular harmonics. More correctly they may be referred
                to as divisional charts. See complete list on the left side of
                this window.
