5.0 out of 5 stars Author's statement
As the author of the book, I am responding to the review that the CD is 'buggy'. This was true of version 1, which was released only in the UK and Australia, but not of version 2 (the international version), which is bug free. Anyone who has bought version 1 can replace it free of charge by returning the CD to the publisher, whose address will be found in the accompanying...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book
good but appears to be calculation errors in the software ie planetary positions are sometimes 1 minute inaccurate for faster moving planets.also the software only calculates equal house system. Otherwise Ok for beginners.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author's statement, October 19, 2000
This review is from: The Instant Astrologer: Everything You Need to Cast and Read Your Own Birth Chart (Hardcover)
As the author of the book, I am responding to the review that the CD is 'buggy'.

Anyone who has bought version 1 can replace it free of charge by returning the CD to the publisher, whose address will be found in the accompanying book.

On a more general note the package was designed as a 'first-steps' course for beginners, and therefore avoids the more (highly) complex issues such as House systems. The program calculates planetary movements to within 1 minute of accuracy, which from most astrologers' point of view, is as accurate as you could want it!

As a course, we feel the package is unique: beginners' books offer guidelines for individual charts only. This one deals with relationships as well. I strongly recommend it... but then I would, wouldn't I!

5.0 out of 5 stars So clear and condensed., February 9, 2004
This review is from: The Instant Astrologer: Everything You Need to Cast and Read Your Own Birth Chart (Hardcover)
sad thing is that there is no upgrade to something more advanced as far as I know, that would grant access to a forum where one can ask questions, like "your system calculates a square but the stars in aspect are in two signs that are in trine". Is it a trine or is it a square? Anoying to have to do that by snailmail.

3.0 out of 5 stars CD rom is buggy, August 2, 2000

This review is from: Instant Astrologer (Hardcover)
I don't know about the book, astrology is my partners thing, however the astro program installs fine, runs Ok from install, if you exit and restart and then try to access the town list you get "error 13, type mismatch" and it bombs out. Fine if you don't mind reinstalling every time you want to use it.
