modern features.

MANY other new chart wheel features.
90 DEGREE DIAL ANIMATION:

30 Degree Dial to see midpoints that are formed at any point on the
Dial. Dials can be regular, BiWheel, TriWheel, or QuadWheel Dials so
that you can see midpoints formed between charts.
BUSINESS MANAGER:
Sirius includes powerful and easy-to-use business management software!
With the Business Manager, you can schedule appointments, browse through
your appointment schedule to see what upcoming appointments you have,
quickly read in the names of people whose data is in Sirius or enter
names of new people, and maintain information about these clients, such
as postal address, e-mail address, phone numbers, and notes. You can
even print envelopes directly from Sirius manager to the printer.
There are fields for you to enter
credit card information, print receipts, and print envelopes. There is
even a timer that you can use to time appointments or other work
activities, which is particularly useful when charges are being paid on
an hourly rate rather than a flat rate.
Even though we designed Business
Manager with the professional astrologer in mind, if you are not a
professional astrologer, but a professional in some other field, you may
wish to use the Business Manager feature of Sirius for your other
professional activities. You can also use Business Manager for managing
personal appointments and other activities as well.
PLANET MANDALAS:
Planetary Mandalas reveal that the simple elliptical paths of planets
form beautiful and fascinating shapes. Sirius provides innovative
features to its Planet Mandalas, and these new features show an
extraordinary elegance and beauty that has not been fully seen before.
OTHER ANIMATIONS AND DYNAMIC
INTERACTIVE FEATURES: View a wheel, BiWheel, TriWheel,
QuadWheel or multiple wheels and watch planet positions move dynamically
or as you click on arrows to move the charts forward or backward in
time. New interactive features for quickly seeing aspects and
conjunctions to fixed stars are a big help when doing horary and
electional astrology.
MEDIEVAL,
HELLENISTIC, & OTHER LISTINGS: The Partile and
Refranation Table is very helpful for classical horary astrology
because you can see exactly when aspects become exact, or
refranation occurs. The presentation of useful information like
the Temperament Table and the ability to obtain advanced
calculations like Compound Almutens and the Alcochodon makes
Sirius an excellent program for the classical astrologer.
- In Kepler some Medieval
feature are available, such as a Medieval wheel, including a
dignities table, conjunctions of planets to fixed stars,
etc., but there are many more Medieval features in Sirius.
Kepler can produce a dignities table, and Sirius adds the
ability to produce the dignities table using Egyptian
bounds.
- Sirius can also produce a
list of Hellenistic influences, with the flexibility to
include from among the following items: Dignities and
aspects to fixed stars, Dignities of Hellenistic lots and
the aspects of the lots to fixed stars, Dwadasamsa and
dodekatamoria of planets, Dwadasamsa and dodekatamoria of
the lots, and Ascensional times of the zodiac signs.
TIME LORDS:
Another new feature of Sirius is a list of time lord periods
with the following time lord systems available: Zodiacal ephesis,
Decennials, 129 Year System, Balbillus Method,
Circumambulations, Annual Profections, and Lunar Monomoria. You
can select the number of levels desired. The features can be
selected easily, with, for example, the ability to right-click
to quickly bring up the settings, click a few times to change
selections and press the OK button to view the new time lord
report.
PROFECTION:
In Sirius you can produce a list of Profection aspects.
Sirius also provides an
easy-to-use interface to customize lists of Arabic Parts.
ELECTIONAL &
ASTROSIGNATURE FORECAST BASED ON MEDIEVAL RULES: In
Sirius you can produce an AstroSignature Forecast Graph and an
Electional Astrology Graph based on Medieval rules, such as
planet and Asc dignities, rulers of houses, Void of Course Moon,
planetary hour, and conjunctions to fixed stars. Typically these
forecasts are run for one day at a time because the values
change frequently throughout the day.
PLANETARY HOURS TABLE:
A Planetary Hours Table can be produced in Sirius. This
is a nicely formatted report, with changes in daylight saving
time detected so that the times are very accurate. You can also
produce a Planetary Hours Table and Rising Sign that shows both
changes in planetary hours as well as changes in the rising
sign.
VOID OF COURSE LISTING
USING THE ANCIENT RULES: A Void of Course listing that
uses an ancient rule that the Moon is regarded as being Void of
Course only if it enters the next sign unaspected has also been
added. Medieval orbs and moiety rules are used so that this
report is produced in accordance with the medieval rules.
PRIMARY DIRECTIONS
LIST: The Primary Directions list of planet to angular
house cusp influences can now be calulated based on the
calculations of Ptolemy, Cardan, Naibod, Placidus, and Kepler,
as well as a modern variation discussed by Kolev and Cochrane.
Kepler has only a method used by De Luce and by Van Dam, and
these are also available in Sirius.
