'Planetary Aspects and Transits' is Windows software primarily designed to help astrologers (both professional and amateur) explore world transits, that is, aspects formed over time by moving planets. It was created as an aid to readers of Richard Tarnas's book "Cosmos and Psyche". It has many user-selectable options, such as support for both tropical and sidereal zodiacs, the ability to set aspect orbs, and the ability to show only the outer planets.

After entering a date and time you can view the corresponding world transits in either tabular or graphical 'chart' form, showing how many aspects of each kind (square, trine, etc.) are present, and also if any aspect patterns (T-square, kite, yod, etc.) are present. One can search for aspect patterns from the currently-entered date onwards. The chart may be animated so that the development of transits can be viewed in steps of a day, a week or a year.

You can also enter two birth dates, and from these get tabular and graphical displays for natal aspects (the horoscope), for personal transits (the aspect relations of the natal planets and the planets at a given date -- see for example the attached image) and for synastry (the aspect relations for the two birth dates). The display of personal transits can also be animated, so as to see when aspects and aspect patterns form and subside for someone born at a certain date.

Additional information is given regarding when transits start and end, and their duration. In the case of personal transits this information is displayed graphically for the entire course of the transit, showing when the transit becomes exact, or at least reaches a minimum.

All charts can be saved as PNG graphics files, with either black or white background.

In the words of one reviewer, "'Planetary Aspects and Transits' is an inexpensive astrology program that is well designed for those who want to explore what patterns between the planets will form over time." User licenses can be purchased which allow use of the software for 3 months, 1 year or forever.

An introduction is given at http://www.planetary-aspects.com/pat/pat.htm and a user manual at http://www.planetary-aspects.com/pat/um.htm has numerous screenshots illustrating the use of the software.
