Many people are fascinated by Astrology. They can't wait to open up the paper each morning to see their daily horoscope. Many of these people would love to know how to do their own astrological chart. Unfortunately, doing a chart by hand takes a ton of work to go along with a ton of education about the subject. Fortunately, there is a piece of software that will do this for you, literally in the blink of an eye. Enter Astro 123. Astro 123 is not something that you can buy in a store. It is available only off the Internet from a guy named Allen Edwell. This gentleman put a ton of work into this thing and the small price tag that comes with it is more than worth the many hours that you'll save doing your own Astrological chart. Astro 123 does all the basic things that you would expect a chart making program to do and then goes 100 steps farther. For starters, by simply typing in your birth date, time and place and clicking a button, you get your basic birth chart which tells you your sun sign, rising sign and what house each planet is in at the time of your birth. But that's just the beginning. You can also get where your planets are on any day of any given year by simply putting that date into the program. This is how you do your daily chart, the kind that you see in your local newspaper each morning. If you do this on a daily basis you can get your horoscope every day for the rest of your life. But we're still not even close to being done. In addition to this, you can store birth dates of various people into a database. This way you don't have to type in the information each time you want to get a chart for somebody. Just pull up their name from the database, press a button and their chart is done. One of the most important requirements for creating a chart is to know where the person was born. This program allows you to load coordinates for any city into a database so that when doing somebody's chart you don't have to type them in each time. You just pull up the city from the database and there they are. The program even comes with some major cities already preloaded. In addition to the standard birth chart, you can also get other charts from the program such as natal charts and transit data. Just about every kind of chart you could possibly want can be created by this program. In addition, each chart you make also produces a report, similar to your daily horoscope, that you can print out. This comes in handy if you're doing a chart for a client and he requests something written. The interface isn't much to look at and it's obvious that more time went into the meat and potatoes than the glitz. But this is one serious piece of software for doing Astrological charts that no serious Astrologer should be without. |
