Maitreya is an astrology application covering both Vedic astrology, or Jyotish, and Western astrology. Users can work with the two traditions within the same highly configurable chart and data environment.
Its Vedic capabilities include Dasas, Ashtakavarga, Shadbala, Yogas, higher Vargas and partner analysis, while the Western side includes transits, progressions, solar arcs and Uranian astrology. Astrological objects can be used across both Vedic and Western views.
Maitreya also provides a large geographical database, internationalisation and an astrological scripting language.
This is free and open source software.
