FORECASTING:
In addition to producing secondary, solar arc, tertiary, minor, and
degree-for-a-year progressed chart wheels, both direct and converse, Sirius can
also calculate
- Profections (1 house = 1 year
formula), and Ascendant Arc, Vertex Arc, Solar Declination
Arc, and Solar R.A. Arc, Naibod Arc, and User-Defined Arc directions,
both direct and converse.
- Easily select from
4 methods of progressing secondary, tertiary, and minor progressions
houses.
- Select whether you wish to use
the terms "Secondary Progressions" or "Day-for-a-Year
Progressions"
- Solar, Lunar, and Planet Returns
(and also returns to an aspect to the natal planet, such as
a demi-return).
- Calculate Phase Angle Returns,
Phase Angle Returns in a Zodiac Sign (Tithi Return in Vedic
astrology), and Diurnal Charts using 3 variations of the formula
for calculating the Diurnal Chart.
- Calculate a PreNatal Lunation
Chart easily
- The PreNatal New Moon and PreNatal
Full Moon can be selected in Sirius so that you can obtain
the New Moon, Full Moon, or the lunation (New Moon if the Moon
in the chart is waxing, and Full Moon if the the Moon in the
chart is waning).
- A 3 Diurnal Chart can be
selected with the following 3 variations of the calculation: "Sun-Mc
Phase Angle Return", "Sun-Mc Phase Angle Return in
Right Asc.",
and "Sun-Asc Phase Angle Return". A Diurnal Chart
is a chart calculated for the time you were born for any day.
- When you select the Diurnal
Chart, you have options to select a number of consecutive charts
and also to select a location. These features where implemented
in Sirius with great care and attention so you can obtain the
information that you really want, and to get it as easily as
possible.
- Produce a Time Line Format
forecast with the following 4-planet combinations formed between
the transit or progressed chart and the natal chart: Midpoint-to-Midpoint
conjunctions and oppositions, Same angle formed in the transit
(or progressed chart) and natal chart, and also conjunctions
and oppositions that occur in the composite chart.
- The Jonas astrological birth
control method forecast can be produced in time line format.
The Jonas method is based on the times that the transiting
Sun and Moon are in the same angle as in the birth chart. These
4-planet patterns are used in symmetrical astrology and are
gaining increased interest in recent years by several leading
astrologers.
To give you a better idea of how
these new 4-planet pattern features work, let's look at these
new features in a little more detail. In Sirius there are check
boxes available when you customize a Time Line Format forecast
for selecting "Transiting Midpoint to Natal Midpoint", "Composite
Chart of Transit Chart and Natal Chart", and "Same Angle
of Same Planets". These are the only 3 ways in which the
same planets in the transiting and natal chart can form a powerful
symmetrical pattern.
When, for example, the transiting
Sun/Jupiter midpoint is aligned (conjunct or opposition) the
natal Sun/Jupiter midpoint OR the composite Sun and composite Jupiter
(that is, the composite position of these planets formed between
the transits and natal chart) are aligned OR the transiting
Sun-Jupiter
angle is the same as the natal Sun-Jupiter angle (also known
as a phase angle return or a mixed midpoint alignment), then a powerful
interaction of the transiting Sun and Jupiter with the natal
Sun
and Jupiter occurs and we can expect the days when this influence
is within orb to be a very powerful Sun-Jupiter day for the
person. We can expect the person to be expansive, optimistic, and
to attract
new opportunities. With Sirius you can see these influences
in the Time Line Format not only between transiting and natal planets
but also between progressed and natal planets.
- An option to see symmetrical
patterns between planets that are not the same (for example,
transiting Sun and Jupiter in relationship to natal Mercury
and Venus). The ability to see these powerful 4-planet patterns
opens new doors in astrology. Because these patterns were not
easy to see until now, astrologers have not been able to explore
these ideas with the ease and simplicity as can be done with
Sirius.
- The customizing of time line
format, transiting and progressed text listings, and interpretive
reports is easier in Sirius. We have moved the customizing
buttons to tabs so that you can quickly and easily browse through
the settings without having to return to a previous menu of
selections.

ASPECTS: The
selection of aspects is easy and elegant, and organized. You can
also display a bar that shows the sign the transiting or progressed
planet is in, and also a bar for the house that it is in.
Select specific combinations of transit-to-natal
aspects rather than selecting a set of aspects that are applied
to all of the transiting and natal planets selected.
ASTEROIDS
ON TIMELINE FORECAST: Include up to ANY 8 asteroids
as transiting (or progressed) or natal planets in
the Time Line Format! Easily change any of these 8 transneptunian
planets to be any asteroid. You can for example, see that transiting
Eris or Sedna is conjunct a planet in your chart, or that transiting
is Sun is conjunct natal Varuna today. ASTROSIGNATURE
& ELECTIONAL FORECAST: Astrosignature
and Electional Forecast Graphs can be produced for a single day
in Sirius, with calculations
being performed periodically through the day. You can select
how often the calculations are performed, and you can also select
only part of the day.
For example, you could look at 9
AM to 2 PM with
calculations every 10 minutes, or look at the entire day
with calculations done every half hour. With this new feature
you
can, for example,
run an Electional Forecast for Business Success, select
a date (let's say it is February 10 for example), and then select
February
10 to see the fluctuations that occur throughout the day.
In
order to provide this feature the influence of the Moon
and/or the Asc
and MC and house placements is included. A convenient check
box appears when you are doing a 1-day detail analysis so
that you can easily turn on or turn off either the transiting
house
cusps
or
the transiting Moon.
Ability to select place: Also
important to make this graph meaningful is the ability to select
a place
for the calculations,
for
times to be in local clock time, and not GMT and for changes
in daylight
saving time to be automatically detected.
Astrological
influences that can be included in the AstroSignature and
Electional Forecast Graph: planetary
dignities, void of course Moon, and the planetary hour. Include
the transiting Asc and MC.
Classical Electional Graph: In
Sirius you can select a Classical Electional Graph based on each
of
the 7 visible planets and also Classical Electional Graphs based
on each of the 12 houses. The Classical Electional Graphs based
on the planets use astrological influences like aspects of the
ruler of the Asc, Asc sign, planetary hour, the essential dignity
of
the
planet, Ptolemaic aspects, and conjunctions to particular fixed
stars.
The Classical Electional Graphs based
on the houses use astrological influences like void of course Moon,
aspects to
ruler of the Asc,
and planets in the first house. By using classical rules, Sirius
is
able to produce a graph that shows how favorable or unfavorable
a planet (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or
Saturn; we
refer to the Sun and Moon as planets in astrology even though,
of course, they are not) is throughout the day.
If, for example,
you
wish to know the most favorable times for Venus activities,
then display the graph of Venus for the day for your place
of residence and you
have this information presented to you in a graph. Similarly,
if you are electing a time that involves primarily the
influences of the
7th house and 9th house, you can display a graph for each
of these
houses to assist you in electing the most auspicious time
using methods that were widely used in Medieval Europe and are
becoming
increasingly
popular today.
The Classical Electional Forecasts
based on planets are based on the rules provided in the medieval
book the
Picatrix.
An optional set of graphic images of the talismans described
in Picatrix can also be purchased. With the ease of use of having settings
directly below the graph, and the ability to "zoom in" to
a single day or even just a few hours and to zoom out to view months
at a
time, the AstroSignature
and Electional Forecast Graphs enable you to see how a particular
area of interest is affected at different times.
