- HORARY.EXE
- Version: 1.00
-
- HORARY.EXE is a horary astrology program that calculates the
- positions of the 10 planets (Tropical zodiac), and the 12 house
- cusps (Placidus or Regiomontanus) for any date, time and place.
- This program displays a chartwheel horoscope (Hercules, CGA, EGA
- and VGA modes only) and the aspects between the planets (Sun
- through Pluto including the Moon's nodes - nodal aspects are
- displayed in EGA mode only), Part of Fortune, Ascendant and
- Midheaven (Midheaven aspects are displayed for EGA mode only). It
- also prints to screen, printer (Epson compatible) or disk file a
- listing of other pertinent traditional horary information. Too, a
- number of graphics programs are included with this disk in order
- to allow you to print the chartwheel to your printer.
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: 275K memory and one disk drive. Optional:
- printer (preferably Epson FX or compatible).
-
- HOW TO START: Type 'HORARY', then press <RETURN>. You may want to

- This horary astrology program for IBM-compatible personal
- computers permits you to:
-
- 1) Calculate the zodiac sign positions of the ten planets,
- including the Sun and Moon, and the twelve house cusps for any
- date, time, and place. This program uses the Tropical zodiac and
- the user may select either the Placidian house system or the
- Regiomontanus house system.
-
- 2) Display the horoscope data in graphic chartwheel format using
- planetary, sign and aspect glyphs (Hercules, CGA, EGA and VGA
- modes only).
-
- 3) Display supplemental traditional horary data and calculations.
-
-
- NOTES ON USAGE:
- ---------------
- 1. Instructions for entering data are given on-screen at the time
- you are asked to enter data.
-
- 2. The TIME prompt asks for the time as recorded in Standard Time.
- Do NOT enter Local Mean Time as the program automatically makes
- this adjustment and displays LMT. However, if Daylight Savings
- Time was in effect when the time was recorded, it is important
- that an hour be subtracted from the time before entering the time.
-
- 3. TIME ZONE refers to the distance in hours between Greenwich
- Time and the time zone in which the time was recorded. Hours for
- the U.S. Standard Time zones are as follows:
-
- Eastern 5
- Central 6
- Mountain 7
- Pacific 8
- Alaska-Hawaii 10
-
- Although time zones sometimes have irregular boundaries, the
- general rule is that time changes by 1 hour for every 15 degrees
- of geographical longitude. Since the U.S. adopted Standard Time
- zones in 1918, there has been a tendency for the boundaries to
- creep to the west. For states on the boundaries, check Doris
- Chase Doane's "Time Changes in the U.S.A." or "The American
- Atlas". Time zones east of Greenwich Time are entered as negative
- hours, e.g., the zone in Paris, France is -1. Enter the time zone
- as a whole hour. The prompt HH.MM includes the minutes only for
- regions which are standardized to the half-hour, such as India at
- - 5.30.
-
- 4. Geographical LONGITUDE should be taken from an atlas.
- Longitudes west of Greenwich are entered as positive numbers.
- Longitudes east of Greenwich are entered as negative numbers. The
- longitude of Los Angeles, which is 118 degrees, 15 minutes West,
- is entered as 118.15. The longitude of Paris, France is entered
- as -02.20.
-
- 5. Geographical LATITUDE is entered as a positive number for
- latitudes north of the equator and as a negative number for
- latitudes south of the equator. The latitude of Los Angeles is
- 34.03. The latitude of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is -23.00.
-
- 6. That's it. Please be patient while the program calculates the
- chart data and forms the astrological glyphs.
-
-
- 7. After the chartwheel and the aspects appear on the screen,
- simply hit any key to advance to the next screen. Hit PrintScreen
- or Shift-PrintScreen before going on to the next screen if you
- want to print a copy of the chartwheel (this assumes you loaded in
- the proper graphics program before starting HORARY.EXE). The
- chartwheel re-appears after the traditional horary information is
- outputted in case you missed something the first time. See note 11
- below.
-
- SUGGESTION: I always use the first chartwheel display if I only
- need to look at something quickly. I do not print the chartwheel
- to the printer at this time if I want all the data printed. I
- advance to the output screen and make my selection (usually to the
- printer). Once the printer is done and the chartwheel re-appears
- on the screen, that is the time I hit PrintScreen to send the
- image to the printer. You will find that if you do the operations
- in this order that everything is lined up on the printer as far as
- top of form and line spacing is concerned.
-
- 8. After the first chartwheel has been displayed, you must tell
- the program where you want the horary data directed to. You may
- direct it to the screen, a printer or to a disk file. Follow the
- on-screen instructions.
-
- 9. This program uses traditional horary aspects, angles and orbs
- as referenced in "Christian Astrology" by William Lilly. See the
- file called 'SPECS.DOC' for further technical information.
-
- 10. The calculated sideral time is shown within the chartwheel on
- that screen (Hercules, CGA, EGA and VGA modes only). The
- chartwheel also displays 'Re' for Regiomontanus houses or 'Pl' for
- Placidian houses.
-
- 11. You can print a hardcopy of the graphics chartwheel (Hercules,
- CGA, EGA and VGA modes only) by loading the file SCRNDUMP.COM
- (Hercules), the DOS external command file GRAPHICS.COM (CGA) or
- equivalent or the file EGAEPSON.COM (EGA or VGA modes, Epson and
- Epson compatible printers) before running the horary astrology
- program and pressing Shift-PrintScreen or PrintScreen while the
- chartwheel is on the screen. This worked fine with a Citizen MSP-
- 10 printer and an Okidata ML320 printer. The program diskette also
- includes a number of public domain alternatives to the above
- mentioned files. See the file GRAPHICS.DOC for further information.
-
- 12. If you have any questions or suggestions, I would be pleased
- to hear from you. You may write or call me at the address and
- phone number below.
