ASTRO is excellent for the new astrologer who really doesn't understand all the details in interpretation, and is seeking to learn more: more about others, more about themselves. ASTRO provides an excellent learning aid in the Astrology Help.
ASTRO is also excellent for the experienced astrologer. It can provide charts that rival those provided by hand or other computer systems. Basic Capabilities:
* Intuitive user interface. It is easy to use, and is much more powerful.
* Built in databases giving all the necessary data for approximately 1000 U.S. and Canadian cities (and approximately 200 foreign cities.)
* Optional database adds 32,000 additional U.S. locations.
This version of ASTRO uses highly accurate routines to generate the planet positions, house cusps, and aspects. Planetary positions are accurate to within 5 minutes in arc. Typically the positions are within one minute of accuracy in many places as compared to competitive programs. ASTRO can generate the following chart types:
* Natal charts.
* Compatibility charts.
* Transits charts.
ASTRO supports all the major house cusp systems including:
* Equal house.
* Placidus.
* Koch.
* Companus.
* Regiomontanus.
* M-house.
* Morinus.
To install, decompress the archive to any directory and run SETUP.EXE
To get the most out of this program you will need some understanding of astrology. ASTRO does provide some help in this area via the Astrology Help found in the Help menu, and the "Astrological Glossary" in ASTROW.WRI.
