WARNING ! NO Stars !, June 19, 2000
Myself being pretty involved in Astrology (hobbywise, NOT professional! ) I was looking for an easily understandable program for a friend of mine so that she would be able to lern the basics of Astrology in a mothertongue other than english. I did not expect this program to be very professional to begin with (even though it praises itself "great for PRO and amateur") but when I tested it I found myself very upset with not only the looks (which do not really matter if the progam is good) but most of all with the contents itself. To name just a few: no instruction booklet or CD inlet but advertisement for free CDs after online registration. Absolut inacurracy when it comes to natal and daily planet and house charts. "Premanufactured"; readings of character which of course can only be false because of the natal chart being wrong in the first place. A list of birthcharts from celebrities, most of them dead or "outdated"; which only adds to the question of who wants to know that to begin with ? A little game to compare the own natal chart with friends and again, celebrities... I could go on and on, it would get worse and worse... Do yourself and serious astrologers a favor and keep your hands off this program, there are so many others out there, which I confess, are hard to understand at first but worth studying if you are really interested in finding out more about Astrology might affect you. This is the perfect example of why Astrology, Esoteric and other fields are still regarded as dubios to most people !

No daily transits, September 4, 2000
By A Customer
If you are looking for an ephemeris for daily transits, you will not find it here. The daily scope on the disc that I have doesn't properly match day and date, for instance, Tuesday September 4, 2000 (actual date was Monday, September 4, 2000).

Not a UserFriendly Product, August 12, 2001
This product is not user friendly. In many cases the exact longitude and latitude of the city must be entered. If you were born at 12 a.m. or 12 p.m.; the program frequently will set your chart ahead or behind 12 hours. To give an example, I was born shortly after midnight and quite close to the Pacific Time Zone (but, still in the Mountain Time Zone). My chart had me born after high noon and the moon in the next sign. I was able to somewhat remedy this by setting the birth time by one hour using daylight savings time. The Ascendant is still off by at least 8 degrees. A chart wheel is not with this program. The interpretations are "cookbook"(Sun Conjunct Moon in Aquarius will be different than Sun Conjunct Moon in Scorpio,yet the printout interpretation will be the same). Planet /House interpretations are only given for planets in the First House. However, yet again, Saturn in Capricorn in the First House will be interpreted exactly like Saturn in Gemini in the First House. I could not in good conscience charge a paying client for printouts because of the weaknesses of this package. I bought this software package at a bricks and mortar store at a "fire sale" price($...). This was still too much for the product. Are there any good points? The chart can be set to three different House Systems (Placidus, Koch, and Equal House). Aspect Orbs can be set to your liking(0.0-9.9 Degrees). If this is the best mass market astrological software package available; wait a few years for a more acceptable package.
