Astrology Software

[Summery Joy]

Hello everyone,

I need some help. I'm looking for an astrology software to use on my PC that has all the cities of the world (like on astrodient) but also the option to enter the latitude and longitude without having to pick a location. Is anything like this available?

Also, I prefer downloadable sofware. I don't want to wait for shipment (I wonder what in my chart makes me so impatient :D). A pretty interface would be great too 8) .

I do not know what the rules are concerning publishing the names of software on the forum. If it is not ok to publish them here, please p.m. me.

Thanks.

Download the free version of Astrology for Windows at
http://www.halloran.com The unregistered 'free' version allows you to save and print only the first chart saved. But you can always delete the first chart and replace it with another. There are no interpretations just charts.

It also has a world map, point and click, to enter any location on the globe.

[fensi88]

Just go to this site:

http://www.astrowin.org/
and download "AstroWin (free). Great programm! All caculation in one program!!

[Radu]

There is also Canopus, also free software, which comes with interpretations too. It is available here:
http://www.clairvision.org/ckb/ckbe/ckbc/fol_0000_0700/cat_0000_2222/Canopus.exe
I like it, it's really complex.

[ZenMusic]

i need software intended for a beginner that guides me through the process... I tried astrowin and had no clue what to do with it ....

and recommendations for a easier to use one, maybe with a tutorial and intrepreation and hopefully less than $100.00 ??

thanks

[Light]

Hi Zen

Have you looked into WinStar express? This is often under $100 - they frequently have offers on like buy one get one free, that sort of thing.


www.matrixastrology.com or

www.astrologysoftware.com

Its easy to use, not too colourfull and not too expensive, either.
:D

take care

Although as far as I know you can't save charts in it, What Watch is a very good program. http://www.papertv.com/

[unukalhai]

Astrolog32, an updated version of the classic Astrolog for 32-bit Windows.

It's free, accurate, and does so many things. The animation feature is priceless (especially for visualizing your upcoming transits!) and the readability of the charts it produces is superb, especially when working with aspects.

There are complete atlas files available for the software via the site, and the C+ source code is freely available in case you code C and desire to customize.

http://uk.geocities.com/astrolog32/

I also adore Solar Fire 6, but honestly seldom use it. It's also fairly expensive. 98% of the time I use Astrolog32. Solar Fire 6 does have a wonderful search function, which allows you to search over long periods of time and produce text listings of just about every astrological happening you could imagine. It is one of the few pieces of software which allows fully customizable midpoint searches, including transiting planets to midpoints, transiting midpoints to planets, transit-to-transit midpoints, and midpoint-to-midpoint searches. The main thing I use it for is the search feature. It also has an excellent electional search, where you can specify oodles of parameters and find a time exactly suitable to your electionary requirement.

Hi, Sorehearted. You can enter the latitudes and longitudes on Kepler. You can also download it, any add-on programs, any updates.

[Three-leg-cat]

I'm using Astrolog32 version 2, developed by a different programmer from version 1. Atlas with longitudes and latitudes are available now. Here it is:

[Themis]

i was wondering whether anybody could have a good link on free horary softwares---which could show essential dignities, almuten, etc...Solar Fire is great yet i found it too expensive for a starter in horary. thanks:)

[starbuck]

Just must say, what an awesome addition to the forum.
Txs to everyone for the great input which is most helpful.

Will add my bits & pieces soon...

Now is the time to download the 30 days free trial version of Janus 4, the new version of Janus, available now (since December). I totally loved Janus 3, I thought it's perfect, but Janus 4 gives even more.
www.astrology-house.com

[Andonis]

I totally agree with unukalhai on Astrolog32 which I use 99% of the time. What a great piece of free software. I have also Solar Fire but....hardly ever use it.
The reasons posted by unukalhai are the same with mine.

[Sag Moon]

I have used Astrolog for so long I feel stuck in wanting to use anything else as Ientered data for many people for yes. and it would be painstaking to transfer so much data.

I wish I could get the new version set up like the old version as for aspects and transfer all the old chart data into it.

I am really glad the author upgraded the Fixed stars and a few other things.

Great piece of shareware.A little complicated for the cmptr novice,but well worth trying.

[cjc]

I just discovered this thread... I received a free copy of WSExp in a package deal a while ago and had some problems with its calculations. (Not sure why, but it was my progressions... Born in Brisbane and the current location is near Princeton, NJ. The progressed chart was way off.)

I swear by WinStar Plus 2.05. It's expensive, but well worth it, and often on sale. The Matrix tech support have the patience of Job, expecially for unfortunate SOBs like me who have just gotten suckered into that gates garbage windoze vista on a new machine.

Good luck with it!

[cjc]

I just loaded it onto my new machine and pulled down the update from the Matrix website... Seems to work well. AND it has a LOT of features found in WinStar Plus. Go for it!

(I understand the new release has a LOT of added features to boot!)

Unfortunately, though,on the version I have, the help file is written as a windoze help file: something that windoze vista DOES NOT SUPPORT. MS comes right out and says they will not support versions of windoze help files that were not written for vista, meaning vista will not provide suport for any ms program (their own) that you had before getting stuck with vista. You gotta buy new software to give them more money. The message (cut and pasted):

Why can't I get Help from this program?

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which was used in previous versions of Windows and it is not supported in Windows Vista.
For more information, see Windows Help program (WinHlp32.exe) is no longer included with Windows (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=59782) on the Microsoft support website.

[donal]

I have such software which I will be posting after sometime.

[cjc]

For vista users who have the problem reading help files, there is a patch on the ms website that allows you to read those help files:

Hi Friends,
Which astrology software (pro. ver.) you need most & not getting in the big ocean of great net? please mention.

I use astrolog on my linux machine.. and have kepler on my m$ one, I haven't tried installing it thru WINE on my linux machine yet. I feel for you Vista users.. it's complete ****! LOL! Oh and don't forget.. if you are using XP, m$ no longer supports it!!! I've used Solar Fire in the past, but once I found Kepler I found it better than SF.. user preference though! :)

[cjc]

I just got word from Matrix support that there is DEFINITELY a problem with m$ vista and some of their software.

"Because of the trouble you have been having I returned to the testing machines and ran both reports on our xp machine and compared it to what I was getting on the Vista machine and with the latest installs I am getting the same results as you. The Vista report is significantly shorter than the xp one."

For those of you who have a vista machine, double check your software! Pull down some freeware and compare results. I know I have sent out bad reports.

Who knows how many changes m$ has made to this os since they introduced it. I have had this garbage for 8 months and my "update" history is 3 screens long. I had to reboot this morning because of an "update" and see that since then, there is another "update" waiting to be installed! Would we tolerate this nonsense from an automaker?

Let's face it folks, a lot of us advise others based on what we get from our computers. We need accuracy. I don't know how many of you were around in the days when we had to do every chart by hand... We thought computers would help... but along comes m$....

[Inside Out Orange]

I recently discovered this very useful "Transit Kalculator" webpage. Just need to have Java installed (probably standard these days) and once you've entered your details it gives realtime update of your transits every 15 seconds.

Canopus, which Radu mentioned a while ago, and which starbuck couldn't find, apparently doesn't exist any more.

Instead, they (Clairvision School) have a free online software - called Clairvision Virtual Astrologer.

http://astrology.clairvision.org

I've used it a few times, it's really good, heaps of features, including a great interpretation that you can download as a pdf. One thing I like is that in a natal chart, you can click on a planet and get a pop-up just about that planet.

There are heaps, like heaps of options - so if you don't know which item to choose on any menu, pick the one at the top.

The site also has a bunch of slide show lessons for free. The first one is an intro to using the program.

[J.Lily]

So thats why theres been something funky with my winstar. I haven't even bothered to install my win writer program, I have mostly been looking at astro.com for charts with progressions and or solar returns because I knew there was a problem with it, and it was ever sience we got the new computer!!(yes its Vista I was a saturnian cheapie) I may check out some of these above mentioned free sites thanks.

I was just going through your post for an astrology software. I know of one which is a very user friendly software and has longitude and latitudes of all major cities of the world and a provision to add more as well. It is baed on Indian Vedic Astrology and has detailed calculations, predictions, and various tools of astrology for prediction. I am enclosing a sample of the same also.

Try "jagannathahora", its a non-commercial freeware. I dont remember from which site i have downloaded it. well i think googling a bit might help you.

[estrella]

Now is the time to download the 30 days free trial version of Janus 4, the new version of Janus, available now (since December). I totally loved Janus 3, I thought it's perfect, but Janus 4 gives even more.
www.astrology-house.com

I have Janus 4. I like it. I think that it is solid software for the price. It never crashes. It is accurate. It has a wide range of features.

There are a couple of little things that annoy me though. The main one being that you can't incorporate arabic parts into a chart. It will calculate lots of them and give you a table of their positions, but there is no way to visually incorporate the parts into a chart or see aspects related to the arabic parts.

Also, I wish the electional mode would let you specify more detailed parameters.

Overall, I'd give this software a solid B grade. But I'm ready for more bells and whistles so someday I will upgrade to either Kepler or Sirius.

[Virinchi]

Jagannatha Hora - free astrology software for both india and western methods(though chart looks indian you can try without using any ayanamsa and get western planetary placements as well (http://www.illuminatetoday.com/download/jagannatha-hora-horoscope-drawing-tool.html)

Jyotish too to draw in vedic method. interpretation of chart also included. this is a freeware so for people born after dec 31 2003 or for horary of further dates is not possible. 3 choices of ayanamsa and 2 choices of languages (http://www.illuminatetoday.com/download/vedic-jyotish-tool-for-drawing-horoscope.html)

the simplest of all. just less than 100kb download and draws in vedic method using n.c.lahiri ayanamsa. can be used for quick check of charts or horary (http://www.illuminatetoday.com/download/jyotish-tool-vedic-method.html)

[SagiCap]

There is also Canopus, also free software, which comes with interpretations too. It is available here:

[Kerrie]

I am after free chart rectification software... any ideas?

[tikana]

there is a software called jigsaw but it is highly inaccurate... actually all rectification softwares are inaccurate .. this is something a human eye needs more than plug in formulas

[Kerrie]

Its for my birth time I have 10.10am but I am thinking it may be between 10.05am and 10.10am. So I wanted to see what I would get with a software program.

Very important at the moment as I have T Uranus sextile MC, lol.

Is jigsaw free?

[Mechanical Designs]

----------------------------------------------------

[Kerrie]

Thanks I will do some charts and see what i get.

[Inside Out Orange]

Very important at the moment as I have T Uranus sextile MC, lol.

I recall reading that Uranus is good for timing transits so that should be a big help to working it out but I guess you're looking at it with the aim of wanting to be proactive and predictive rather than waiting to see what happens!

As we know five mins can be quite a difference. That's a 2.5 degrees on my ascendent ... which was the difference between having Pluto trine it in Jan 2008 and Nov 2009 ...

Personally I'd use something like Astrolog to create six charts for each of the different times (10:05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10) and then keep an eye on when Uranus transits each of the midheavens. But I think even then timings can be affected/exacted by movements of other planets particularly the inner.

[Kerrie]

Thanks I spent some time on it yesterday doing charts myself and instead of moving it back like I thought, the transits suited for me to move my chart forward 2 minutes. I would have liked to get my MC to 27'07... but the closest I could do with mintues was 27'01 (10.12am) or 27'15 (10.13am). I took the 27'01.

WinStar Express is $69.95 for disc or download. I've used it for years. It does have the capability to enter your own latitude and longitude. I do it all the time. Plus, once you are a customer of Matrix Software you can call in for tech support. It's a very good beginner's program. It's now up to Version 3. http://www.astrologysoftware.com/software/calculation/express/index.asp

I'd like to suggest Morinus (http://sites.google.com/site/pymorinus/). It's a free download, you just need Python and a few other things on your computer, but the programmer explains everything pretty well on the page. It seems best for more advanced astrologers, but I'm sure newbies could use it too, with a little background knowledge of course. No bugs that I have noticed. It has a lot of great features for medieval and traditional astrologers as well. The one thing that irritated me is that you cannot have orbs set to greater than 17 degrees. This was frustrating as I wanted to set the Sun's orb to 18. But, really not that big of a deal. Has anyone else ever used this?

You're right when you're right. I happen to be googling on Almuten when I came across this program, I was to say the least, pleasantly surprised. For those looking for a good nay excellent program, that does not need to be installed with many good features, this is the one. You can even throw it on a stick to try it out.

[Inside Out Orange]

Anyone get Astrolog to run with Windows Vista Home Edition OS?

If so what do I need to know to get it running?

TIA


Can't see a reply but Vista allows you to run specific applications as if they were on an XP-compatible system. You just right-click the EXE application and look in the Properties.

Windows 7 also allows this functionality but trying to run Astrolog under either XP or Vista doesn't work, so I'm now looking around to see what else I can use.

Hi there,

I recently purchased an Astrology software program calles Astro22 Astrology V7.5 from a Software company in England called " Ramara House Software". It cost me £145 sterling but is a wonderful program with lots of Interpretative texts and colour wheels.

Hope this helps.

Is there good software to produce a "Daily Horoscope" for all 12 signs? I have a blog and want to provide them for my readers.

[arrex]

Almagest is da best! You can do magic with it. Zet 8/9 geo/pro is good too, especially for the beginners, but it lacks the accuracy of Almagest.

Having proper proficiency in programming, you can compile simple scripts for specific purposes, using Michelsen ephemerides.

[zoidsoft]

I have written 2 separate programs for astrologers. The first one is Timaeus which is a system tray application that shows the planetary hours / rising sign next to the PC clock and gives a chart display when double clicked. It is primarily for use in Horary and Electional astrology and uses traditional techniques.

The other program is Delphic Oracle which is a research program in the area of Hellenistic astrology. I worked closely with Robert Schmidt (Founder, Greek translator for Project Hindsight) for several years to make it as authentic as possible to the original tradition(s).

I've been running a 50% off x-mas sale for the past few days. The discount ends late on x-mas eve.

[zoidsoft]

I also recently finished the Terran Atlas with the Olson time zone database which is currently the largest atlas in the field. While this atlas is built into Delphic Oracle and Timaeus, there is also a stand alone version that you can use for your other software.

The Terran Atlas was just released on Nov 20 so I haven't written a Dll yet for other developers who would like to interface directly with the atlas but plans are in the works to do so. Contact me with your language details if you are interested.

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on astrology software for Apple MAC. I don't mind paying for it, as long as it is worth it. Free would be nice too. :o

I specifically want to use it to keep track of transits if there is such software. It's a bit difficult to keep track of them...

I am after free chart rectification software... any ideas?

I spent many years searching and trying all types of rectification methods. I will do my best to find some time this weekend to give you my thoughts and experiences.

I would say that there's no really good rectification software to be had. The most important thing about rectification is knowing the planetary contacts that are needed, most rectification work is visual. A constant moving the hands of the clock of the horoscope so to speak to see what matches and what doesn't. Often when you find a good conjuction or opposition, parallel or contra-parallel, inconjunct, very rarely do I use sextile or trine, you only find that the other date that fitted nolonger fits.

The best method that has always worked for me is primary directions 4 minutes for a year, secondary progressions, one day for one year, after that sign and house ingress, and last but not least containment. And I am still a strong believer of the Pre-Natal Epoch, but I agree it needs research and work.

I print out all the tables, look at what type of contacts are being made, move the hands of time so to speak and see how many dates fit. One must however be wary of fitting times and dates, I have already posted about this elsewhere. In short not all events in our lives fit to the day when we are using rectification. Things can happen on day 1 and hit us emotionally a month later. Not all events sink in right away, or have an effect on us. That is why letting software do the work for us can be dangerous. What we find must be within the realm of reason, a birth time that falls 30 to 40 minutes away from the given time is something that we should be wary of.

Do the work yourself and you will have a good chance of finding the correct time.

I don't see that Janus was mentioned. It is a powerful and affordable program and even includes the ability to do astro-locality with some pretty great maps, if you are into that. Anyway, I think its a deal for all that is included with it.

Based on your suggestion, I downloaded it yesterday. It took a bit to figure out the Python stuff but it all works together seamlessly once it's installed. I did have one issue, though. I downloaded the Traditional program first since I'm moving in that direction now. Then I downloaded the Modern program with all the planets and asteroids and installed it in a different directory. I figured I'd use them independently. But when I created and saved "modern" charts in that program, I could only access them in the "traditional" program. I think it's because I wasn't paying close attention to the folder path they went to when I saved them, or perhaps the program isn't precise enough on the look-up. Also, I couldn't find a "print" function. Looks like you have to save them as images (".bmp" or ".jpg") and print them from the Windows picture folder.

Someone I know who is an experienced traditional astrologer says Morinus is "outstanding for a freebie." So far I fully agree.

After many, many years using Matrix programs, I have to say you're mostly right. I've had great service from their staff... BUT, nothing but problems with their software. Their programs seem to need updated with every change in Windoze, and I used to be one of their biggest supporters..

I just gave up and stick to one or 2 functions as needed. At my stage of the game, not worth spending a ton on new software.

Hey, great thread. I already had astrolog, but I got Starfisher from this thread, and it's really good, I like it a lot.

I'm trialling Janus which is very good, a lot more depth and features, I bet I've hardly tapped what can be done with it.

Is there a demo for Kepler/Sirius? I had a quick look but didn't find anything.

[SagiCap]

Various astrology software are there, which are best and are very helpful. Some of the astrology software are HOROSOFT Online Astrology Software, Horosoft™, Astrology Software, TRIPLE-S SOFWARE and many more.

I gave this one a try and read incredously. It's absolutely the opposite for me. The kicker was this statement on my natal: "You will not be happy in life."

What the heck? Did anyone else have a similiar exact opposite description? It's too weird...

If I remember correctly, there is a small, free program from AIR Software called Astro-Clock. It allows you to change the time/date/location, of course, and then set it on forward motion, so you can see how the planets move through the hours and days, etc.

Ahh, cool, no, not tried that, I'll give it a go. Thanks :smile:

A Request: Anyone know of an online or freeware/shareware astro program that is animated? I liked Clairvision but I think they discontinued that? I like to see my horaries in motion and visually - easier to understand. Thanks!


Astrolog has an animate feature, and is free.

I run a pirated version of solarfire 7. I'm bad.. I know.

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations on astrology software for Apple MAC. I don't mind paying for it, as long as it is worth it. Free would be nice too. :o

I specifically want to use it to keep track of transits if there is such software. It's a bit difficult to keep track of them...

many thanks

I'm using Kairon (http://www.kairon.cc/). It's a little funky with updating information sometimes when you switch from person to person in your database, and the help file is pretty much a redirect to their online fora. And I wish it did declinations and latitudes; as it stands I have to boot into my Wintel box and run ZET for that (and even then I don't get heliocentric latitudes).

But other than that it does a fairly good job. It'll do tropical and sidereal zodiacs in geocentric, topocentric, and heliocentric calculations, has a host of built-in planets, asteroids, Arabic parts, and fixed stars (you can add more asteroids from the Swiss Ephemeris FTP at Astrodienst), and probably more aspects than you need. It'll do transits (past, present, and future), progressions, returns, eclipses. I don't find much of a difference between using Kairon and going out to Astro—differences are slight at best.

And, as they say, the price is right.

ZET9 is a very good program and very helpful for learning many many things. Although i have the free version, i find it the best of all the free programs.

Check out this app.

There is free daily horoscope, and u can contact professional astrologer. That is not free but u get one question to ask for 3$...I will try it later and share my experience....

The best is expensive, Solar Fire is good but not much change out of £200, the same for Brady's Starlight, i have both, but i really love Starlight fixed star interpretation.

Thanks for that SS. When I went to the site and tried to download it, I got presented with a viewer of all the files that were compressed into the ZIP. Trying a "Save File As.." wanted to download the link to the viewer.

Until I figure out how I can get the actual files onto my Mac without having to download them one at a time—and the number of files is legion—I'm going to have to come back to it when I have more time.

In the meantime, since my Kairon demo expired and I haven't had the bread to buy it yet, I've moved over to the OS X version of AstrologerXP, which I like just fine. Adding new asteroids is not too onerous—it's a matter of following the instructions in his single help file and knowing what to do when you get to the NASA Jet Propulsion Labs' FTP box through Terminal—but grouping them into a single place where I can edit their parameters in one fell swoop is something I haven't yet figured out; I may need the developer's help sussing that.

The interesting thing is that through editing the plist file for aspects, I've been able to add harmonic aspects beyond the 5th and 7th (it comes ready to do quintiles and septiles). So far I've gotten up to the 36th harmonic and I may not need to go much further than that. I'd love to be able to group those too, but I haven't found the method; turning these aspects on and off requires turning each individual aspect on and off, and now I've got several hundred aspects to choose from. Needlessly time-consuming—but the insights these aspects provide me are astounding.

Since I last replied, I bought Halloran Software's AstrolDeluxe Report Writer 8.0. I had been using Halloran's basic programs for over 20 years (MS-DOS and then Windows 95). The deluxe version comes with an excellent atlas and a "bare bones" report writer that mainly serves as a template for building your own reports; I get about 35% of a 40-page written report from the "canned" stuff, most of which is "OK" astrologically, not superior but you can arrange and edit the output to your own satisfaction. (You need to buy add-on modules to get the better material, but total cost - as long as you don't buy everything they offer - is still well below Solar Fire and similar high-end programs.)

A note about Morinus: if you're using the traditional essential and accidental dignities to determine planetary condition, Morinus is indispensable. I use it all the time for finding the chart almuten since I'm often dissatisfied with contemporary methods for choosing the ruling planet. You can play around with the settings for different traditional methods (Ptolemaic, Dorothean, Morin, etc.) and see what works best.

See Buid-in help, section 5:

5. Customizing aspects

To access advanced aspect editing features, you can copy the content of the shared folder to the AstrologerXP for iOS application shared folder (with deleting all its original content before it), then specify advanced aspect features like multiple aspect pages, colors, symbols, etc. And, finally, the content of the AstrologerXP for iOS application shared folder should be copied back to its original place. Please note that to copy AspectTables directory to the iOS shared path you should make AspectTables.zip archive with it and then copy the archive instead of directory itself.

Just wondering, but is there a real astrology program for the iPad? I am not looking for the typical daily horoscope kind of programs, but one that calculates my radix and shows the cart.

Rumen Kolev has an update btw

I highly recommend janus It great software it gives your chart wheel and aspect grid and display declination aspect and minor aspect it also has the option of midpoint

[Zarathu]

I've owned some version of Astroldeluxe from John Halloran since about 2000. Its run on every computer I had. While I also have a copy of Solar Fire Gold 7.1 which I need for some things that AstrolDeluxe won't do, AD is far easier to use than SFG. I also use the Astrodyne component of AD. At $169 US, its hard to go wrong. And John will help you with any problem you might have.

Had anyone had much use of astrology apps for iPad, tablets, kindle, or iPod?

[Ryan Kurczak]

KALA is a great program. It is mainly Vedic Astrology, however it's got some great interfaces that allow you use the tropical zodiac and even the round wheel chart western astrologers are used to.

Here is a link to Kala. (http://www.vedic-astrology.net/Kala/Kala-Software.asp?PARTNER=ryankurczak)

Kala means "Time" - the Astrological Force that Brings Events to Pass. Kala is quickly becoming the premier Jyotish software due to its greatest accuracy, ease of use, and unique features. Kala has extensive calculations and easily customizable features. Kala runs in English, German, Russian, Spanish and Hungarian*.

There is more info on Kala on that link too. Great vedic astrology software program.

i would recommend http://astro-trade.com, it list all planets and moon transits for each day. the program is pretty intelligent and you dont really need to download it and use it at your computer only. it is online and you can access it from anywhere :happy:
