You gave your horoscope positions in the Tropoical zodiac, which is the one most astrologers in western countries use. This is a 'sidereal' list, which means we use the zodiac that lines up with the actual stars--sort of, anyway. So you might be confused if you're just getting back into astrology and more or less starting over again. You might want to check out the western lists first. If you're talking about purchasing software, the best software in my opinion is Solar Fire, which Astrolabe sells. It's about $300 unless they're having a sale. If you're looking for web sites that will calculate free charts for you, Kate listed some programs in one of her posts of the last few days. You'd have to go back and find that post, or maybe Kate will see this post and reply to you. Blessings, Therese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hello Sandie, > If anyone has suggestions on decent software, I'd appreciate hearing them. Well, there is a freeware that is now completely tranformed by now: Astrolog. It's freeware and we can use it for tropical or sidereal astrology and it is using swiss ephemeris. Although it has a DOS look, it can be printed properly when the background is reversed (black on white). Try Astrolog32 from António Ramos and join the list devoted to Astrolog António's website: http://uk.geocities.com/astrolog32 Astrolog's list: Astrolog_List Yes it is advertising, but the software is worth it and it's freeware! ;-) -- Best regards - François If you have any difficulty to set astrolog for sidereal astrology ask me: i'll help ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
