#3338 Miscellaneous Astrology Small Programs Disk

Astro 2.82 [ASTRO282]
Noyes, Christopher J.
$40
#27045/1847 [2 disks] (02-94 CD)
is a very powerful astrological program. It is geared to produce a textual
type of output, consisting of the numbers, text interpreting the results into
meaningful terms, and an optional graphics printout.
The program has several built in databases. One for people's birth dates, time
and places. The other is a database of locations, giving all the necessary
data for approximately 100 U.S. cities and approximately 100 non-U.S. cities.
It can be used to store the locations of your own birth date, your birth
location, locations and births of all your friends, and associates.
Astro uses highly accurate routines to generate the planet positions, house
cusps, and aspects. House cusps can be generated using Equal House, M-House,
Placidus, Companus, and Regiomontanus house systems. It also adds the
following options: midpoints, and aspects to midpoints, along with decans,
midheaven, Moon's Nodes, Part of Fortune, Vertex and East-Point, and other
important calculations and determinations.
Also provided is Birth Rectification, a graphics cartwheel capability, ASCII
file output, and more. ASTRO even supports the 80*87 chips for faster
charting. Requires 400k of DOS RAM for full functioning. In testing, it would
not run on a Northgate 386 with DOS 4, but did run an AST-286 with DOS 3.
Astrology
Halloran, John
$?
#27045/634
will calculate the zodiac sign positions of the ten planets, including the sun

purposes of transits or chart synastry the aspects between the first chart
calculated and an unlimited number of additional charts; display supplemental
calculations which presently include the lunar mean north node and the Part of
Fortune; conduct rapid searches for compatible matches between the charts in
the database according to user-defined criteria of sex, age, and minimum
required mutual communication index levels and more.
AstroMart 2.11
Langway Company
$49
#27045/4631
calculates an astrological chart. A chart analysis is included. You enter
the details of the person to be studied, and the program calculates the
position of the planets at the time of birth as well as the position of the
astrological houses and aspects.
Astro-Health
Magnum Software
$30
#3373
provides a brief astrology and a menu (food, not computer menu) for each sign of
the Zodiac. It includes a list of essential vitamins/minerals and the source of
which these vitamins/minerals may be obtained. Requires 512K.
Biorhythm 4.1E
Fog, Jorgen
$18
#4019
produces biorhythm charts that can be viewed on the screen or printed. It also
indicates moon phases, and can compare two people's charts for compatibility
purposes. As an interesting feature, it also contains important dates for
historical figures including Hitler, Napoleon, and others.
Wynter Stone's I Ching 1.0b
R. K. West Consulting ASP
$24
#2633
is a computerized version of the "I Ching". It is a Chinese book of divinations
into humanity's role in the natural world and for fortune-telling.
By The Numbers 4.54
R. K. West Consulting ASP
$29
#1212
is based on the philosophy of Numerology which in turn is based on the
Pythagorean system of using an individual's name and birth date and the
numerical values of letters which are analyzed for their symbolic meaning and
metaphysical vibrations.
When we tested the program, it was eerily accurate on some people and
laughable on others. "Easter Bunny" was judged to be artistic, philanthropic
and idealistic - a perfect match. However, "Darth Vader" comes out diplomatic,
cooperative and harmonious, which doesn't seem close; but then "Adolph Hitler"
got the same readout, so maybe there's a hidden meaning. Requires 420k.
Personal Numerologist 2.11S [PNUMER] (09-93 CD)
Widening Horizons, Inc.
$44
#4719
produces professional looking, in-depth personality reports based on a name and
birth date. The 6-8 page reports contain a detailed profile of the life path,
expression, soul urge, birthday, master numbers, repeated numbers, karmic debts,
karmic and modified karmic lessons and intensity points.
Chou I
Thompson, Richard K.
$10
#1516
is a form of divination based on ancient Asian beliefs and is a computerized
version of I Ching. Also on this disk is Rhythms, a good Biorythm program.

Crystal Ball 3.2
Easton, Thomas A. & West, R. K. ASP
$19
#1774
lets you select an area of interest and it will make a prediction, or you can
choose to ask questions and have the program answer it for you. The program's
response in both cases is drawn randomly from a vocabulary database. If you
like "Eliza", you'll probably like this.
Electric Almanac
Matrix Software
$0
#2882
is a computerized version of the classic farmer's almanac, although it leans
more heavily toward the occult than predicting rainfall. It will tell you the
"best times" to do a wide variety of activities, from making friends to writing
a will. It generates tables to show the best times for hunting and fishing. It
has astronomy tables, including times for planets rising and setting.
Astrological features include an astrological chart wheel, table of planetary
hours, five-month lunar calendar, "action graphs" for 30-day, 7-day, 24-hour and
current hour periods, "find missing objects", "will this relationship work",
I-Ching, "The Almanac Oracle", Tarot cards, and lucky lotto numbers for the day.
