NEW FEATURES OF KEPLER VERSION 7: TREASURE MAPS: In previous versions of Kepler there were 5 Treasure Maps: the Love and Romance, Vocation and Career, Friendship and Family, Imagination and Inspiration, and the Excitement and Instability Maps. We have added 5 additional ones: ~ Education and Communication ~ Culture and Creativity ~ Optimism and Opportunity ~ Responsibility and Focus ~ Detailed Friendship and Family WHEELS: You can now produce chart wheels with essential dignities, almuten, and conjunctions to fixed star tables, and you can also select a square chart wheel, if you wish, as well as many other features that are used in medieval and hellenistic astrology. There are several new wheel styles. You can now produce wheels that have planets in the inner ring and minor asteroids in the outer ring; this is the Asteroid Wheel. You can also select a Fixed Star Wheel (fixed stars in the outer ring), Arabic Parts wheel (Arabic Parts in the outer ring) or Midpoint Wheel (midpoints in the outer ring). In the Asteroid Wheel you can have up to 50 asteroids in the outer ring, and the asteroid glyphs can be if desired and an asteroid glyph is available, and there is also a table below the wheel that shows which asteroid has which glyph. Of course, you can customize the wheel if you like. Kepler includes over 1,000 asteroids to choose from and if you own the optional 30,000 Asteroids CD you can place virtually any asteroid desired in the wheel. The Fixed Star Wheel and Arabic Parts Wheel are similar in concept with the additional points being in the outer ring of the wheel.

While adding all of these features, Kepler has not only become much more powerful, flexible, and versatile, but the program is also slightly easier to use than Kepler 6.0. As each new version of Kepler expands in power, we are also making sure that this increased power does not interfere with you ability to get directly to the features you want and not to be distracted by the new features. Our goal is to ensure that Kepler not only does not become more difficult to use but that we've taken steps to make improvements to the ease of use; we have achieved this goal with Kepler 7.0.

OTHER FEATURES: There are many other specific improvements throughout the program. Just as one example, it is now much easier to create your own set of arabic parts or fixed stars. We have tried to summarize some of the main features. NEW Products: The Kepler Mega Atlas is a separate atlas from the built in Kepler Atlas.
