ASTROLOGERS and those interested in serious fortune-telling will be delighted with Digital Precision's QL Super Astrologer package. Whether or not you believe in Astrology, there's an enormous difference between the sun-sign predictions in the daily papers and the wealth of calculations which make up a full horoscope.
QL Super Astrologer provides fast and accurate calculations of the positions of planets by house and zodiac sign. It goes on to calculate the important aspects between planets, not only for a birth chart but also for progressions - the future positions of planets used to forecast trends. The chart can then be dumped to a printer.
Also included are text files for all the possible aspects and sitings of planets, in house and sign. Those can be printed out with the chart or separately so as to give an individual interpretation to each chart. Keen astrologers can edit those files to include their own ideas on the meanings of various factors.
Freddy Vaccha and his team at Digital Precision have gone out of their way to make the system as open as possible, with instructions on how to modify the printer driver to suit your own system, and information on how the programs link together. There are also, on the second cartridge, a series of files with the data for famous figures in history clearly designed to impress you with the claims astrology makes. They make interesting reading even if you remain an unbeliever. This is an excellent package which produced some remarkable results when I ran my own and John Gilbert's birth data through it. Great fun, and an invaluable tool for astrologers who hate grinding through their own calculations for hours on end.
