Solar Fire

[Guest guest]

For those using Solar FIre be aware that unless you are using their

updated Ver. 5.1.2 calculations for aspects may be inaccurate.

 

 

-- 16 Jun 2003 - Created v5.1.2

 

 

* Eclipse Search with sidereal zodiac - when searching for aspects

to a fixed position (with a sidereal zodiac selected as the default

in Solar Fire) or to a sidereal radix chart, the eclipse position

was being erroneously calculated in the tropical zodiac, thus

resulting in incorrect aspects being found. This has now been fixed.

 

Suggest you contact your SolarFire dealer and buy the current

version...

Thanks, Juan. I'm going to have to use my charge card for the program. At

least I'll get a discount for being a NOVA owner. I checked the Astrolabe

site today. I'm going to wait to compute any more ingress and Moon phase

charts until Solar Fire makes the trek from the East coast to the West coast.

 

I thought I could get by with NOVA, but NOVA doesn't compute ingress

charts, and the program was written before the days when astrological

software automatically hooked up to an atlas--and before the computer mouse

was invented. We used to be happy enough to have an astrological atlas in a

big book. Now we take it for granted that the program will do all the

lookup work for us. Even the Jyotish programs have atlases.
