Astrology Software

Understanding the rich variety of astrology software on sale today is quite a task! Especially when one realises the first astrology software was released in the 1970s and was loaded down from cassette tapes.

Benefits of Astrology Software

The main theme of astrology software is to bypass long winded astrological calculations when an astrologer is chatting on line, or doing a phone reading. Working out these aforementioned calculations can hold up the interpretation of astrological planetary placements and frustrate a client as they wait.

But the main task of an astrologer is to really hone into the consciousness aspects of an astrology chart and interpret accurately taking into account all the relevant data. In this aspect astrology software can be useful. Certainly purely mechanized readings are limited, as the astrologer’s experience and sensitivity are vital to an efficient reading.

In the 80s programs were available that included chart wheels and more sophisticated systems to down load astro material, often the readings themselves had beautiful designs and split screen programmes that helped the astrologer design their own charts and use a filing system they could return to and access data from

Western astrology software leaves ample room for a wide range of data insertion, with accurate calculations for transits, progressions, returns, composite charts etc. One can move backwards and forwards by inserting new date times and locations and even create a unique return customer logo.

Astrologers Using Astrology Software

Astrologers feel very positive about astrology software currently available and the insight and accuracy of those who create computer programmes devoted to astrology that user-easy and even inspiring. Even if bugs or problems crop up now and then, astrology software is valuable as it can sustain an accurate reading with on the spot insight and easy daily use.

Some astrology software offers accurate predictive technology, for example the “time tunnel” which includes transits and shows astro convergences. Such sophisticated processes help an astrologer access detailed astro technology that helps increase insight when analyzing an in-depth reading.

More simplified programs are available to the normal person, someone who is not an astrologer but is interested in accessing astro information for their own personal use can find the more basic astrology software useful.

Astro Cocktail

John and Susan Townley’s website Astro Cocktail describes their search for effective astrology software on the web.

They say, “One of the more perplexing things about looking for good astrology on the Web is that most sites tend to have a product to sell, an axe to grind, or some sort of spiritual or political bill of goods. There are, of course, a handful of gems maintained by some of the more accomplished and historically insightful practitioners, but most are mainly looking to sell you a product or a personal point of view. These can range from neo-Jungian astro-analysis to keys to the Spiritual Path of Wisdom to contact with aliens from Andromeda-3 – and they often have little to do with real astrological information.

Refreshingly, lately a new world has opened up – and that is the astro-blogosphere, where a decidedly different set of minds are daily at work, providing fresh insight, scepticism, humour and intellectual flexibility that really put new light on the subject.

However, the most important factor in any astrological reading, whether the use of astrology software is involved or not, is that special feeling, or connection with an astrologer that remains an authentic element that helps and stimulate a client’s inner growth and evolution.
