Whether you're a serious astrologer or simply curious about what your future may hold, Ultimate Home Horoscope & Tarot offers a compelling combination of ancient secrets, new-age philosophies, and high-tech methods to accompany you on your search for answers. A four-disc library that does everything from exploring the art of palmistry to replicating traditional I Ching practices, this software may open up spiritual doors you never even knew existed.
Ultimate Home Horoscope & Tarot comes complete with four separate CD-ROMs, including The Oracle of Changes, Birth Horoscope Interpreter, The Art of Palmistry, and Tarot Magic, all of which must be installed separately. While this may make for a tedious installation process, the upside is that you can choose which applications you wish to run, while ignoring the ones that may seem less relevant to your interests. That said, it's important to point out that each of these applications is worth installing, if only for the sheer beauty of the graphics and sound effects. We were especially impressed with the images on The Oracle of Changes application, where the program is set up to look like a clandestine cave, complete with dark shadows and ornate details.
One issue we did have with this application, and especially with The Oracle of Changes disk, was the user interface. Navigating through this disk was rather difficult, as the table of contents is set up to resemble an ancient book. Navigation buttons were unclear, and in order to exit the program, we had to hit Control-Alt-Delete, because there was no visible exit option. It was much easier to cruise around the Birth Horoscope Interpreter and The Art of Palmistry applications, as these interfaces were clearer and more detailed.
Of all the applications, the Birth Horoscope Interpreter seems to be the most interactive option for learning about your past, present, and future. After entering your birth date, place, and time, the software produces a fully customized personal chart, including an interactive astrological wheel diagram, detailed interpretations, animated sequences, and planetary and house cusp-position grids. Novice astronomers will appreciate the symbol guide, while professionals should be impressed by how detailed and sophisticated the application actually is. And while certain pieces of our chart were a bit oversimplified (i.e., "The bond to your mother will have been particularly formative"--whose wasn't?), most of application's interpretations were dead-on accurate.
A smart and interesting application, Ultimate Home Horoscope & Tarot is sure to provide hours of endless entertainment, if not answers to some of your deeper spiritual questions. --Gisele Toueg
Amazon.com Product Description
This four-CD-ROM set includes Birth Horoscope Interpreter, Tarot Magic, The Art of Palmistry, and The Oracle of Changes. All four discs combine modern technology and graphics with ancient wisdom and mysticism.
Birth Horoscope Interpreter communicates the principles of astrology in a way that is easily understood. The movement of planets around the birth horoscope is thought to identify changes and trends; this program explains how planetary changes will affect you. It includes an interactive astrological wheel diagram, detailed interpretations, animated sequences, and planetary and house cusp-position grids
Tarot Magic teaches the essence of each card and 10 spreads, with four-level professional interpretations for every reading. Interpretations explain the meaning of each card relative to its position in a spread. In addition, the program's card shuffling uses precise mathematics. There is also the option to use your own deck. You can choose from 10 beautiful decks, and save or print out each reading. There are also 16 essays about the history of tarot and recent developments in its practice.
The Art of Palmistry is designed to shed light on your unique personality and future. Palmistry originated in China and India more than 3,000 years ago; this disc combines the resources of palmistry's rich history with contemporary multimedia features. It features palm simulation for accurate readings, explanations for every line and other topographical markings, and a glossary of more than 60 terms and definitions.
The Oracle of Changes replicates traditional I Ching practices. If, like psychologist Carl Jung, you seek the wisdom of the world's ancient oracle, this is a good resource for learning the art of the I Ching. It includes 4,096 solutions to life's problems, and allows you to save and/or print your readings in the Changes Journal.

this is just okay...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Home Horoscope & Tarot (4 CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)
This is better than just buying tarot magic, it includes tarot magic and 3 other packages, but the information is quite basic and general, I was disappointed. It's interesting and could be fun I guess. I gave it three stars because of how much you get for the price...

This review is from: Ultimate Home Horoscope & Tarot (4 CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)
I have had this set for over four years now. I am well studied in the use of tarot cards and currently own 5 different decks. Although I am happy with all my tarot cards I prefer to use the Tarot Magic disc. It is very insightful and suprisingly accurate everytime. The Palmistry disc is very detailed, but not as fun because you have to read everything. The astrology disc is also OK I prefer Kepler 7.0 (That is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!), and I have never got the Oracle of Change disc to work. Altogether I think the set is well put together, but I would have only given it 2.5 stars if it was not for the Tarot Magic.
