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).

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.

I like to give perfunctory astrology charts to the newborns and their families in my life in a little bound booklet with a chart and some text showing an interpretation of the natal chart. This program cannot produce a wheel! What a waste. Furthermore, it also does not perform compatibility charts, which are fun, even if they are wrong. . . . .

The software has a glitch. If you were born in the evening, it comes up time of birth A.M., no matter what you do. Also, it doesn't come with any instructions.

For really awesome software get in touch with microcycles....Solarfire is a very good program...do not waste your time on cheap software....microcycles will talk to you about what your software needs are...get programs that you can build upon and grow with....I am an astrologer....I have gone the path of cheap programs only to be disappointed....microcycles has great support and prices.........

For a fun and entertaining look at astrology,I found this CD ROM adequate. It contains information on celebrities including, Harrison Ford, Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Al Gore, and Albert Einstein, just to name a few. I enjoyed comparing their charts and was not surprised to find out Madonna is a Leo.

I must agree with a previous review. There was inaccurate information in my chart and the evening birth times often come up as AM. A book of instructions and perhaps a beginner's manual would be very helpful for anyone with a more than an entertainment interest in charting the stars.

I was deceived into believing this to be a re-issue of the 1993 Multicom publishing's comprehensive software version of the book THE ONLY ASTROLOGY BOOK YOU'LL EVER NEED by Joanna Martine Woolfolk that is also entitled Astrology Source. What I found was computer errors that default times and latitude/longitude settings. I contacted the company to make them aware of this, but received no reply. Caveat emptor.

They've fixed the AM/PM bug a couple of other reviewers noticed, so the new version works great. Lots of options including Placidus, Koch, or Equal House systems, set your own orb size, natal horoscopes, daily horoscopes, etc. Plus it's very simple to use.

Very accurate and well written horoscopes.

this cd would not work on my apple computer, I didn't know that until I had my son tray to install it for me. I'm not very good on the computer and didn't contact the seller afterwards.

I have used this program for years and really like it. It is easy -- in other words, uncomplicated. I do not consider myself a professional astrologer but have dabbled since 1971. All in all, it is the best without great expense.
