- A horoscope calculator and interpreter, Astral Windows is software
- designed to allow easy interaction for astrologers, whether they are
- new to the art or are professionals.
-
- Any chart can be calculated and the data displayed or printed in either
- sidereal (Hindu) or tropical (Western) mode. The program includes
- features to calculate sidereal solar returns, secondary directions
- and transits. Quick keys are provided for the rapid display of wheel
- charts in either tropical or sidereal mode.
-
- Navamshas and other harmonic data are displayed around the rim of
- the wheel, with the signs and planets being displayed as glyphs. If
- transits or another person's data have been calculated, the planets
- are again shown around the rim of the wheel. The wheel can be printed
- directly to Epson compatible printers from within the program. There
- is an option to Shell out to DOS and directory listings of astrological
- data can be made. The number of data that can be stored to disk is
- dependent only on the disk space available.
-
- Aspects are calculated and shown in matrix form with major and minor
- configurations available. Aspect orbs can be altered with only a
- few keystrokes. Astral Windows has an on-line guide to daylight savings
- times in the UK, France, Germany, Holland and Spain and also the ability
- to display USA zone times.
-
- The registered version of this software comes with options to produce
- outlines, interpretations and predictions based on the calculated
- data. These can be printed directly or alternatively saved as ASCII
- files for later incorporation into documents. Another option lets
- the sidereal, tropical and aspectual data be saved in ASCII format. The
- shareware version omits the predictive and interpretative options.
-
- Otherwise, the shareware version is complete in all respects.
- On registration, the user receives a well-produced, typeset manual;
- hundreds of birth data of stars, politicians etc.; the modules missing
- from the shareware version; thirty days telephone support and a six-month
- free upgrade scheme.
