Read the karakas and padas
The strip at the top gives the Atmakaraka, the Karakamsa (the Atmakaraka's navamsa sign), the Arudha Lagna and the Upapada.
Chara karakas ranks the eight karakas by degree within the sign and says what each signifies. Rahu is counted backwards from the end of its sign and Ketu is not used.
Arudha padas lists A1 to A12 with what each pada is read for. Special lagnas gives the Bhava, Hora, Ghati, Indu, Bhrigu and Sree lagnas with their sign, position and nakshatra.

Check argala on a house
Open Argala & Drishti and pick a house with the buttons 1 to 12. The table shows the Sukha, Dhana, Labha and Putra argalas on that house, the planets causing each, the house and planets obstructing it, and whether it holds.
An argala holds when its house has more planets than the house obstructing it.

Rashi drishti lists every sign from the lagna with the planets in it, the signs it aspects and the planets aspecting it.
