Dear Alois,
Thank you for a beautiful and generous site. In reading the progressed positions, I have not been able to ascertain the minutes as well as the degrees. Am I missing something?

I am so impressed with your website. (first time visitor). I have downloaded a lot of definitions,which I will study later.I am a rank beginer. Thanks again!

Fabulous! The High Quality Charts are superb. Thank you for saving me hours of calculation time- I am still doing it by hand. The graphics are perfect- everything is easy to read and I can see everything I need. I also like the choices for the charts- there is nothing to compare available for free- I am grateful!!

You are a very generous host to a most informative website! Thank you. I continue to learn everytime I visit. Whenever I do click on "Show no aspect lines" they still appear in the chart--how do I eliminate lines? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, I could not find the Astrocartography Charts that I used a couple of months ago. Did you have to remove them or can someone help me find them.? Thanks. SE SCHEEN

Alois adds: I think you have not looked. There are several such charts in the list of chart types. The are called
'maps' because we have been forbidden by someone anxious to make more money to use the word you use above.
great service, but i'm a novice and have a couple quick questions? red lines are bad? green lines are
so so? and blue lines are good?
What are the persona charts all about?
peace

I love you. You get better all the time. Your new improvements and additional detail is wonderful. Thanks for this great service. I double check my charts against your ephemeris which provides a sense of security regarding accuracy.
Keep up the marvelous work!

Alois adds: by becoming an astrology student and working on it for a few
years.
Your charts are excellent, but it would be a nice addition if the name of the type of chart also printed with each chart.

, USA --- Wednesday, June 30, 1999 at 04:25 Swiss time
Alois adds: The type of chart is labelled on the chart below the natal
data, or at the top left, depending on the chart. The wording will be
different than in the current selection list on the web page, but the
latter is not final, a lot is in transition at the moment. We have been
playing around. We will organisize and structure the chart selection
pages, as we have many more options to offer, and the options vary
with the type of chart.
Love the new charts! While I will not knock Astrolog charts, these new charts are great. So easy to read. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Pasadena, USA --- Wednesday, June 30, 1999 at 04:06 Swiss time
I was playing around with charts at the request of a friend who dabbles in the medium. He had me cast a chart for my original birthdate, one for 1999 and one for 2000. He found your charts a bit odd since my ascendent never moves out of Scorpio. Its degrees change but it is forever fixed in its home sign no matter what year I use. What's up?
mickey
--- Wednesday, June 30, 1999 at 03:07 Swiss time
Alois adds: This is correct, every year on the same date and time you
get (within 1 degree) the same ascendant: The Sun also rises at
the same time and place on every April 5th, lets say, and the Ascendant
is of the same nature: a rising point in the east.
You must vary time (by hour) or date (by month) to circle through
the ascendant signs.
Astrodienst truly is the best! I love the ever expanding options.
I have a question to what time zone Nashville
TN. was on in July of
forty-nine? Standard or daylight?
Thanks again,

I like the charts you offer. I was born in Mountainside Hospital in N.J. The town line changed at one point and I do not know if I should use Glen Ridge N.J. or Montclair N.J. Can you advise me? Thanks - Namaste
JS [ *gateway.net ]
, USA --- Tuesday, June 29, 1999 at 05:29 Swiss time
Alois adds: The closer one, or run both charts and observe how
unnoticable ( a few minutes in the house cusps) the differences are.
Then change the birth time by 1 minute and observe again.
Result: it does not matter which town within a range of 3 miles you take.
One minute change in birth time has a much bigger effect.

I've not used your site in recent months, and am very impressed with all the improvements you've made. I'm lost on one point, however -- the signs on the houses used to be clearly delineated in text form on the basic wheel chart. Now I'm not sure where to look for this information. Could someone advise me?
Thank you.

Alois adds: The house cusps are given below the table of planetary
positions. In the Web default chart style there are no symbols used
in this table.
The signs are abbreviated with three letters.
AC stands for Ascendant (cusp of 1st house), to the right of it are house cusps 2 and 3.
MC stands for Medium Coeli (cusp of 10th house in non-equal house systems),
to the right of it are cusps 11 and 12.
You do not need more - the other six house cusps are just the opposing
signs in the zodiac. So if the Ascendant is in sco (=Scorpio), the cusp
of house 7 will be the same degree in Taurus, the sign opposing Scorpio.

Most agreeable Alois, thank you for answering my June l9th note. However, I tried clilcking off the aspect lines when I (today) printed out a natal progressed, and it didn't obey. No problem; just thought you'd like to know. It also wouldn't do landscape, but this is a public access site, not mine, and may explain. Again thanks for so much.

Chattanooga,TN, USA --- Monday, June 28, 1999 at 19:08 Swiss time

double click those small tick boxes, which would in fact turn them off again.

Constructive Comment:
Found the "Natal - Progressed" Combination Chart a confusing layout.
Also, entered "Lilith" (#1181)into the chart, but nothing came up?
L J Switzer [ *powersite.net ]
Ft Lauderdale, USA --- Monday, June 28, 1999 at 14:18 Swiss time
Alois adds: To bad if you find the layout confusing. We are using it since many
years in our pay-for chart service and paying astrologers like it.
I cannot debug your asteroid problem wihtout more information: type of chart, date, place. If you entered the asteroid number with a # in front, it will
certainly not work.
This is a great site! Thanks to 'Xtcypisces' for sending me here...thank you for doing some great, fast, and free charts! This is well done...snaps to you!

Dear Alois, :-) despite my earlier minor criticisms about the style of some of them, the new charts are rapidly growing on me.
I tried inputting Milton Keynes (Bucks. U.K.) for a chart and it isn't in the atlas - although Bletchley is, which is rather out of date, since Bletchley is now a part of (and is only one quarter of) Milton Keynes. Please could you add M.K. as a seperate entry? Thanks.
I found the "nine persona charts" to be very interesting - another new technique to me (I know only a little of the Huber system).
Thanks again for your website, and for your replies and help. Love, light and peace to you.

Never seen anything like this anywhere. I was surprised to see Vedic astrological charts and the Siderial system (Nirayana). THANK YOU FOR MAINTAINING THIS SITE. Is it possible to add an input box for longitude and latitude so that certain remote cities long and lat can be entered directly? Thanks
Jayakumar [ *csi.com ]
Cincinnati, USA --- Sunday, June 27, 1999 at 21:56 Swiss time
Alois adds: It is more complex to add a new place than you think. Long/lat is not enough, each place must be
linked to a timezone table (one of 3500 different table for different regions of the world) which describes
the timezone history for this place.
Basically it is necessary to say 'Place is at long/lat and behaves timezone-wise like this (existant city name given)
nearby place. This must have been researched well, timezone history is much more complex than most people
would think (people have no memory for this kind of data).
If you send us coordinates, we are happy to add additional places manually. We cannot rely on unverified
user input to augment our database via an online data entry form.
this is an incredible service! thank you!

Hello everyone!I was curious as to what the current transits from the outer planets(i.e.,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune,&Pluto)have in my chart-(& how the lunar eclipse in Aqu.,July28, and the solar eclipse in Leo, August10-11 will affect my chart? My birth info is:January 28, 1956, at 4:14PM, EST, in Atlanta, GA.,USA.

Will there always been debates on this -- 8/18/78 11:23 PM (EST) Garfield Heights, Ohio. Some say Aquarius Moon others Pisces. Same with Asc. (Taurus or Gemini) This still confuses me to this day!

Fantastic site! I heard about it in American Astrology and found it just in time. My American Ephemeris only goes from 1900-2000. I too would like to see chart comparisons of two individuals. Not just for love/romantic relationships but also professional and business. I have used astrological charts for a long time in a business/management/supervisory environment to improve communications with individuals! Great Job! THANKS.

I like your site very much, was able to
draw up my father's chart who passed away in
1990 at 54. The Sun is hyleg and Alcocoden
is the Moon, conjunct Uranus on the 6th/7th
cusp. The major years given by the Moon when
angular is 108. He died at the Midpoint, age
54. DOB 11-26-36, 5am Erwin, Tenn. Would not
have been able to do this without your atlas
as mine is in storage while I am here in Taiwan.

Ich habe heute zum ersten mal mit den Asteroiden gearbeitet. grundsätzlich finde ich es toll, dass das nun geht. Aber ich bin verwirrt: bei all meinen bisherigen Horoskopen war die lilith (1181) auf 8 Grad im Schützen (ebenso in den Ephemeriden. Bei Ihnen ist sie nun auf ca. 4 Grad im Wassermann. (mein geburtsdatum ist 29.3.64 13 uhr 05 in ried im Innkreis)
Gibt es hier verschiedene liliths? (Asteroid und berchneter Punkt?)
Sabine Bischofberger [ *aol.com ]

Alois adds: Sie verwechseln in der Tat etwas. In der westeuropaeischen Astrologie ist Lilith der 'Schwarze Mond', d.h.
die Position des zweiten Brennpunkts der Mondbahn. Der Asteroid Nr. 1181 wird von niemandem verwendet.
couldnt find a simple chart that reveals the houses without having to interpret the symbols every time. would like having a simple chart layout and basic interpretation ie: which sign in the houses et al.
connie [ *aol.com ]
owings mills, carroll --- Wednesday, June 23, 1999 at 18:05 Swiss time

The signs are abbreviated with three letters.
AC stands for Ascendant (cusp of 1st house), to the right of it are house cusps 2 and 3.
MC stands for Medium Coeli (cusp of 10th house in non-equal house systems),
to the right of it are cusps 11 and 12.
You do not need more - the other six house cusps are just the opposing
signs in the zodiac. So if the Ascendant is in sco (=Scorpio), the cusp
of house 7 will be the same degree in Taurus, the sign opposing Scorpio.
If you do not know the opposing sign for each
sign you are well advised to learn them before you continue
trying to read charts.
Thanks for adding the Asteroids. Just what I've been looking for, right on time. Good for you ! Please mention in the instructions that they can be displayed with the "w. Asteroid" option on the first menue box.
Is it possible to add an option of getting a text file with all the named Asteroids on the list for a given chart, sorted by Name or zodiacal position??? I know this is a lot to ask and that it will produce huge, enormous text files, but it could be very usefull. Thanks.
Lea [ *netvision.net.il ]
, Israel --- Wednesday, June 23, 1999 at 17:59 Swiss time
Alois adds: We have been considering this, but it poses several problems:
to compute 10'000 asteroids we need to process 10'000 asteroid ephemeris
files and even on a powerful machine like our webserver this costs
time - around 2 minutes - when the files are not in the cache buffer.
When they are cached, the scan needs about 5 seconds CPU time.
We deal with a lot of data, the 10'000 astroids files fill about
500 Mb. Our server has 760 mb RAM so it can cache this amount of data,
but it would have to be used exclusively for asteroids.
Currently a chart is requested every few seconds, and if only a small
fraction of the users would also request the asteroid scan, our server
would quickly overload.
We plan to implement a 'batch' service, where you can put a request into
a queue, and the server will process one request after the other, and
email the results. Only one request per caller in the queue will be
allowed. I do not know when we have time to implement this. There
is so much else to do, and we invest already a lot time and effort for
our free web services anyway.
The result files are not that enormous by the way, about 400 kB which
compress nicely into zip-files of less than 200 kB - no problem
to email them.
A solution for today: order our Short-Asteroids CDROM for 36.95 USD.
It contains 10'000 asteroid files for 1500 - 2100 AD, and a free Windows
application called CERES which does exactly what you want: compute
a sorted list of asteroid positions for any moment. The program runs
off the CD, you need not install all the data. Of course it takes some
time, to process this amount of data from a CDROM.
Ceres.exe is also in the sweph.zip archive on our ftp server but
you cannot download all the ephemeris files - we would have to close
down our expensive Internet leased line if too many visitors started
downloading 500 Mb of data each. The CDROM is more cost effective for
this amount of data.
PS: The asteroids can be added with any chart type, except the Astromapsand the graphics emphemeris charts. The chart type 'w. asteroids' just
adds a whole group of them by builtin default, without the need
to mark any options. This chart style had been crafted before we
added the options, so originally it was the onlw way to get a chart
with asteroids. Now we could even drop this chart style from the menu,
and we may at some point is it is obviously confusing. We could add
Dieter's pet asteroids Chiron, Pholus and Nessos also to the selection
list where the four big ones are offered.
This is a great site, which I have used for some time now: great accuracy, easy to read charts. I am impressed by the new range of possibilities. But can you tell me what the nine persona charts exactly are, how they work? It is not in the astro-dictionary.
Keep up the good work!
Asher [ *hotmail.com ]
Thessaloniki, Greece --- Wednesday, June 23, 1999 at 10:20 Swiss time
Alois adds: We are in the process of translating most of our German
explanation text from the catalogue into English, and we will provide links
from the chart pages to these catalogue explanations.
The German explanations exist since several years.
So I say it just shortly now: The Persona Chart (German: Personar) was
introduced by the German astrologers Peter Orban and Ingrid Zinnel in Frankfurt.
The technique is based on the principle 'The Sun brings it to the light'. In the first year after birth the transiting Sun touches each planet of the natal
chart at a specific moment. When the Sun transits you natal Moon for the first
time, your 'Moon Persona' comes to the light. The chart of this moment is your
Moon Persona chart. If you look at the spread of the nine person charts, you
will notice that their timing is always in the first year of life, in the order
in which the planets appear in the zodiac starting from the Sun's position.
The technique relates strongly to the concept of sub-personalities
which you find in the field of Psychosynthesis.
It's a great page, thanx a whole lot! It's so much easier then drawing it yourself. do you have a helppage, where one can get information about reading a horoscope?

Thanks for a wonderful resource. Im still needing to know the aspects of planets in a progressed chart (you give these in your other charts). Will you be showing these progressed aspects soon or will I have to keep figuring this out by hand? Also, can you reccommend any sites that teach progressions of ones natal planets and interpertations of same. Is it true that only the personal planets (Sun through Jupiter or Saturn) are considered as having influence in the progressed chart? Would you be able to link your site to pertinent educational/information sites? thanks again.

I love the chance to look at better chart options. They print out alot better and as a result they are easier to read. This new section is wonderful, keep up the good work! I visit this site whenever I have the chance. I just wish there was an aspect grid for the natal and transits chart. I'm still learning and that info would make it alot easier for me.When the aspects are crammed into the middle of the chart, it's hard to read where they all go and come from. I hope you will consider my suggestions. thank you!

All right, maybe I've panicked a little bit. I've looked around and, yes, you've given us an extraordinary array of new charts. And, yes, if I'd only looked a little further I'd have seen the "reduced image" feature. In the two years I've been studying astrology, Astrodienst has become a basic necessity. Like oxygen, shelter, fresh water, etc., etc. Change? You'd have panicked too.

This is a wonderful site! This is a great chart generator. The new chart format is fabulous. I love the aspect chart. I appreciate it very much, although I do feel that the program allows for too wide an orb between the non-luminary planets. I feel that 10º is just too wide an orb for a trine, especially between non-luminary planets. Generally, I feel that the orbs are too wide. respectfully suggest another chart format that allows for more restricted orb degrees.
Thank you for your kind consideration.
Jim Genslak [ *aol.com ]
Chicago, USA --- Tuesday, June 22, 1999 at 05:07 Swiss time
Alois adds: Our default chart style does have rather wide orbs, I agree.
There are some chart styles in the selection with narrower orbs, and we will
work on documenting the orb sets used.
We will never be able to satisfy everone with a specific orbis set; probably
we should offer a configuration page for the orbs you want to use, but this is
a very time consuming matter, as there are too many combinations.
Hi, I love your site, and really love the improvements you're adding. Yet I'm having a problem getting the Atlas to Update Timezone for me when I'm trying to get a weekly series of charts, for instance: a chart for noon, Denver, each Sunday of the month. My screen shows that the update has happened, but when I go to "Display chart" I get the first date I put in. . .
Any suggestions. Thanks again for a wonderful service.

Alois adds: We cannot reproduce this problem. The chart image files get
a new file name each time you create a fresh chart, so there should not
be any effects of browser-side cashing. try the 'relaod' button on your
browser anyway, and also make sure you have no proxy set.
Just came across your site and fully expect to be overawed as I sample more and more of your freebies. In the meantime, your generosity being so boundless, a matter which has bothered me for twenty years now suddenly seems answerable and so worth asking about. It comes in two parts: 1) am I nuts or wouldn't astrology be a lot more fun and easier to do if we used the decimal rather than the hexagesimal system? And 2) Do you or does anyone else you know of provide charts based on the decimal system? From the first chart I ever did, I have used nothing else, have gotten wonderful results and wonder if there isn't anyone else out there curious enough to have done the same. Many thanks and I'm sure we'll communicate again.

Alois adds: I do not see your point. The degree-minute-second system is so
well established, and corresponds to the way we measure time of the day.
Would you want to introduce decimal hours and time minutes as well?
What a nonsense. We can use different number systems as well as we use
different languages in this world, and it enriches culture. A reduction would
be a loss.
Besides, a degree is very close to the daily movement of the Sun, and
very close to being the double diameter of the Sun or the full Moon. It is
therefore a good natural measurement.
Another enjoyable and educational hour at your site............made use of the graphical ephemeris which was great. The big cyclograph is another good idea, but the outer glyph's defy my eyesight to decipher them even with my nose six inches from the screen (I confess it is only a 15 inch screen). I find the glyphs on the harmonic charts are easier to read, even though some of them probably aren't much bigger - it may be because they are more spaced out - easier to seperate one from the next. Will await with interest your new synastry charts. Thank you again for this great and free service. All the best to you all at Astrodienst :-)

it would be nice to have the option of viewing radix chart and midpoints in a format nearer that used by r. ebertin. you do, after all, list "combination of stellar influences" in your literature option.
possible future link to ebertin verlag?

Love the site--use it all the time, but need to know what "Harmonic charts" are for. Are they charts that are compatible with yours?
Ginny [ *webtv.net ]
, Wrangell, Alaska --- Sunday, June 20, 1999 at 21:57 Swiss time
Alois adds: No, the term comes from the physiscs of waves or music: it
refers to higher harmonics of the base chart. It is a technique
practiced mostly in England (john Addey, Charles Harvey).
Technically it is quite simple to compute: each planet
or house cusp has a position in the zodiac which can be expressed as a
number between 0 and 360 degrees. Multiply these numbers by 2,
map (with modulo) the result again onto a 360 degree circle,
and get the 2nd
harmonic chart. If you multiply each number by 3, and map the result
again to the 360 degree circle, you get the 3rd harmonic chart, etc.
Mapping with modulo means: subtract 360 from the number as often as needed
to come into the 0-360 degree range again.
You can also try the Astro Dictionary on top of this page with 'harmonic
chart'.
Hello again. Your website is fantastic & your High Quality charts are wonderful. I love the variety of orbs and info displayed. I like to do a chart of today's date for the city I live in when I first link to you and then set it as my wallpaper. My question was very sincere and I see you have responded to others after me. Nothing in my mailbox either. In the several years I have had internet service, I have only ordered over the net once - from Egghead software. They displayed a big lock and explanation of how safe it was to order. My programming education is ancient, so I don't know without being told. My fax machine is broken. I would call an 800 number in a heartbeat - and found one on another site, but I don't know if it would subsidize your ongoing programming efforts. It is Hand's, I think. I could call of course but the price of an international call would be prohibitive. I will go out and pay someone to fax my credit card info if I know that's the best way for me to support you. I will probably order more later, since I am fascinated by your smart program which offers integrated knowledge of one's chart info. I would think you'd get a lot more orders with an 800 number of your own, though you must have your reasons for not having one. Please reply. Thanks.

that dangers of using credit card on the web are highly exaggerated. Please fax
or phone in the card details, if you are worried.
Great site! A friend gave me the address. I've been practicing astrology for thirty years and have used Matrix software since the 80's. Now I'm using Virtual PC on my MAC to run their Windows program. I don't understand how to access your progressed charts. How is this paid for? I have friends who would enjoy playing with data of family and friends. You are providing a great service. Help me understand how to take full advantage of what you offer.

We susidize it by our company revenues
from selling Astro*Intelligence reports.
I do not understand your question about progressed charts.
About astrology software: I can foresee a future where very few people
will go through the cost and trouble to installing astrology software on
their PCs. Internet access is essentially free (you have paid your monthly
provider fee anyway) and you can run all the charts you wish on websites
like ours at any time. I am having fun working for this goal.
This is the most impressive astrology service on the net. With its accuracy, insight, and range of options relative to chart types, it is a must-have site for every avid astrologist. Thankyou very much for providing this free service!!

Alois adds: Your request poses a difficulty for us. On one side, Astrodienst
is a service to all people interested in astrology, on the other side
we actually practice a specific kind of astrology when we do interpretations
and sell reports.
My own astrology is oriented on my teachers, which were (and are) Thomas Ring
and Liz Greene. It was already difficult for us to include sidereal charts
in our web service, and they are well hidden behind several warnings.
Even when I do not believe the sidereal zodiac to be the right one, it does
at least exist in reality, and it has a long tradition behind it.
This cannot be said of the eight Hamburg school
'fictious planets'. We have compromised even in this field - our ephemeris
tool Swiss Ephemeris, which is a toolbox for programmes, included all kinds
of fictious 'bodies', among them the Hamburgians. But I am not ready yet
to display charts including them (and we do not have a chart style at
Astrodienst among the more than 50 style which would include those factors).
In addition, Hamburg school astrologers do not only use these fictious
'planets' but also some special charting techniques, which I have never
studied and which are not available in our software. We like to do perfect
things, so just dropping in the Hamburg 'planets' into a normal chart would
not be sufficient. --- We will think about the matter. After about 2 million
charts which were done on this website, you are only the first to ask
for those 'planets'. Let's see whether our guestbook will now be stormed
by the 'Uranians'.
Thank you for your fantastic chart service! I enjoyed the Pullen charts very much, but always wished the so-called minor aspects were displayed. As you know, Alois, they aren't so minor when you have them within a degree of orb or so. I peeked at a chart of your birth date with Zurich and noon plugged in for the place and time and saw your powerful quincunxes and semisextiles. Anyway, when I looked at my chart after your HQ chart introduction and I saw the screen begin to paint with your green quincunx lines I became very excited. And having all the color coding, the ability to see the distribution of elements and the triplicities, the obvious thicknesses of aspect lines based on the relative exactnesses of orb, the staircase tables all filled out, and oh, the number of degrees applying or separating, --not to mention the solar return charts, and that fantastic creation of the composite of natal-progressed-transits with the annual paths displayed. And I loved the progressed moon's movement displayed on that one. Your work has surpassed my wildest dreams. When I began programming for a major oil company in the mid-seventies I had a pretty good picture in my mind of what would someday be done with computers and astrology. And you are doing it. I would like to do my part and order Liz Greene's Millenium report. Do you have wonderful encryption protection? Thank you again!

I originally created and published the Astrology Flash Cards ASTRO-TEC and CONVERSATIONAL ASTROLOGY way back in 1975.Robert Hand & Robert Pellitier endorsed them at that time. Is Robert Pellitier still around?
I attended all Astrological Conventions in the 70's and 80's, but am out of touch as to what is available as far as conferences now. Can you enlighten me.? Jim Gordon was one of Liz Greens students for many years, and we are in constant contact.
If you have time, let me hear from you.

Thank you for giving us so much access to so much information and the opportunity to print it. I am very glad you saved your style as an option for natal charts; I like to have 360 degrees shown. I see no reason to 'bash' any of you for changes made, but I do wish there was an option for blanking out the aspect lines in the middle of the chart, when printing; so long as the side graph shows the aspescts, I don't need the lines, but that's individual preference and I'm sure few others would care. I'm so grateful for this site, I blush to mention any suggestion.

May I compliment you on your beautiful site, really great and such a wide spectrum of charts is really unbelievable.

the bashing we are getting for the high quality chart introduction, which we
really consider an improvement.
Pholus is one of the recently discovered group of Kentaur asteroids,
of which Chiron was the first and Nessos is another. I have no idea what
it means, but Dieter Koch, a programmer who works for Astrodienst
has published a book in German about Pholus and other Kentaurs (see
amazon.de)
. These asteroids are in our charts because they are Dieter's
pets.
l really love the new formats, especially the Solar Return chart. Thank you for adding it to the list of selections. l find your list of locations superb. lt is a great page keep up the good work. Thank you very much from all amateur astrologists.

Previous charts show Leo 28/56 as ascendant with Ares in the 8th House. Requested chart for April 3, 1937 at 10:35 a.m. New York, New York is incorrect. Please reply as to why this is so.
John J. Burke [ H*aol.com ]
--- Saturday, June 19, 1999 at 05:30 Swiss time
Alois adds: At the given date and time there is 28 Gemini ascendant, and the Sun is in the eleventh house, as it should be around this time of day.
The 29 Leo Ascendant you get at 2:35 pm, when the Universal time
(Greenwich time) is 9:35 am. Your 'previous charts' are based on
calculation errors, as so many seem to be in your country. What you say
about Mars (Ares?) is still more wrong: it is not in the 8th in both charts.
Dear Alois, Brilliant! I see that you've changed the chart choice screen and the info on the chart screen where the chart appears. The 90% option comes out just right! and there are new charts....... I tried the HQ chart with asteroids and note that lilith, whilst mentioned in the planet position list, doesn't appear on the chart wheel. And am I right assuming it is the position of lilith the asteroid, not lilith the "dark moon"? Otherwise, it's great. I've done astrology for years, but I've never used any "asteroid" other than Chiron, so it will be interesting to get a book on the subject and see what they all mean (only chiron and the regular four incl. Juno, ceres etc are included in the astrodictionary). I was also interested to see that you're thinking of doing a trial of offering free charts. I shall be interested to see them if you go ahead with the plan. Meanwhile - keep up the good work. With best wishes :-)

I really appreciate and enjoy your web page occasionally for about two years. And the latest up-date is very helpful. Just one question what does Chiron exactly stand for?Furthermore it seems you consider conjunctions even if planets are further away from each other than 8°.

Köln, BRD --- Thursday, June 17, 1999 at 14:53 Swiss time
Alois adds: We offer various chart styles, and the orb depends on the
rules a particualr school of astrology makes. Liz Greene, who has influenced
the default chart style we offer mostly, uses orbs of up to 10 degrees for
the major aspects.
Chiron is 'the wound and the healer'; I can recommend the book by Melanie
Reinhart on the subject, available both in English and German (see www.amazon.de)
Being new to astrology, I do not know which format is better: the one now or the one a month ago when I first visited your site. I love it. With the tools I have to help me draw charts, the information is exactly what I need. Thank you for your service, and I am really looking forward to your service on synestry. Thanks again.

I bring in charts to my class and promote this site frequently. I truly appreciate your service, and also the renovations (which included some previous requests).

But this one prints out in a tiny square, not the size as before...and also just won't work with my printer...all the lines get broken and messed up.

We are listening to the feedback, however. We are working on adjusting the

Expect some results within 24 hours, and some more over the next week.
Is there any way to have the old chart format back as an option????

I really preferred the old charts. These new ones are not easy to read. The lighter shaded lines for applying and separating aspects were better and the minor lines are really not necessary on the web. You could note them below. It now looks like a huge conglomeration of lines and I would suspect that for a beginner it would look overwhelming. Any chance of going back?

Hi there
I really loved your old charts - they were so easy to read, on screen or printed off. I don't have a printer now as I am travelling the on screen is harder to deceipher.
The addition of the degree and minute numbers to the wheel is great but they are hard to read and the grid is also too wiry to make out.
What I have done in the past is simply print the chart and pen the planet position numbers in, stapling the aspects chart to the back, face out.
I don't like to criticise what must be an effort an improvement but I do think that it would be better to return to the original format and simply add the planet position details!
Even so, you provide an EXCELLENT service - thank you!
Yours

Alois adds: The new charts are not generated with Astrolog, but with our own
Astrodienst in-house software. Astrodienst has been a chart service since
1980 and for many years we made our living from selling color chart drawings.
The software we have developed and used over this long time has evolved a lot
and finally is able to produce also GIF output directly, as well es Postscript,
PDF and Windows-EMF files. Now we can employ
all our own software for the web service, and do not depend on Astrolog
any longer. Many more variants will come online in the next few weeks.
Astrolog was always intended as a short term solution on our website, not as
a permanent feature. It has served well as long as we needed it, and is
an excellent tool for many purposes. We are greatful to Walter Pullen to
have created it. However, it does
in many respects not conform with our own ideas about astrological software.
We will keep some Astrolog chart options, at least until we
have an equivalent or better replacement, but mostly we will phase out
the use of Astrolog.
The software we are using now has never been designed
to be portable, and it has no user interface, as it is controlled
either by CGI scripts (on the web) or an relational database server (in our
in-house chart service at Astrodienst). It would not be very useful
even if we would publish the code.
I can't tell which sign Mars is in today (June 14, 1999). The "symbol" looks like a bed with a hump in it. Is this supposed to be "nouveau Libra" or something?

I find today much improved,about 2 mins star to finish!
Well done, brilliant service overall!

connectivity speed and not with us. But if a transfer seems to get stuck, it
often useful to abort the current transfer and press the link button again.

from the sales of Astro*Intelligence reports. These are widely considered
the best astrological readings a computer can make. The more such reports
are ordered, the more we can afford to provide free Internet services.
Once again I would like to commend you on being the best astro- site on the web. Thank you for including solar return charts. I like the Liz Green charts-because it has the planet degrees on the wheels. It would be nice to have the symbol for the sign in between the degrees & minutes. It would also be nice to have the house cusp degrees, right on the wheel lines. I also like having the aspectarian right on the chart- keep up the good work- Raven--ps how about some more arabic parts.

I use your chart service often and i'm grateful for the service you offer. A couple of things about the new graphics...perhaps you could place a small key somewhere so people can decipher the symbols. many people visiting the sight would not unterstand trine, square and what ever the other symbols are indicating sextile? Also I am an amature and i don't know what the various coloured lines on my chart are indicating. Thanks Jody Myers

We have an excellent 10-page explanation in our catalogue, but
only in the German section (see here)
and if someone would volunteer to translate them into English it would
be a greate help. I do not have the time for it.

Unfortunately, this last chart I tried didn't work. Punched in the data for a friend born Cancer '54, and got a chart for a Scorpio '72. Started over three times, got the same erroneous results. I'll try again later. Thanks for this great service.

On the one hand expertise, skill and lifetime(s) of study (and so much more) does not, or perhaps can not, have a price, and on the other, it must have. After all milly-madness is upon us. For once I find I cannot articulate my thoughts clearly. Anyway, bon chance!

This site has been bookmarked in my Favorites file for many years now and it continues to prove more and more invaluable with each visit. I love all the new options available, particularly the Vedic/Sidereal charts.
I like the new format--it's clean and much easier to read. However, it doesn't always fit on the page when printing out. Although, I haven't tried printing it without getting rid of the extra stuff.... What I do miss about the old chart is the lack of glyphs. For charts that I send to people who are unfamiliar with the glyphs, it's easier for them to read the planets' names written out.
Keep up the great work!

of a rather small page. Next week we are going to switch our server
to a machine 10 times as fast as the current one (a HP J2240 instead
of a 735/125). the great advantage is that the new software is one
which we wrote ourselves and have full control over. Walter Pullen's
Astrolog is a nice
program, but has also many shortcomings (e.g. no solar return charts
possible through a web interface).
Our own Astrodienst software is built in the European tradition of
chart graphics, which is quite different from the US, with a lot more
emphasis on the visual. If you stick to the 'Liz Greene' style, you
will probably be rather satisfied.

i am impressed by your possibilities and i shall use your charts in the future.
i have one question about the high chart nat-progr-radix.
you let see in the chart some long red threads and in my case i dont understand some progres planets who in my opinion have a false place.
just the slow planets.can you let me know whats wrong.thank you for all!gr ab rake

hilversum, holland --- Friday, June 11, 1999 at 21:08 Swiss time
Alois adds: You seem to refer to the chart typ 2.GS which is a combination
of natal (inner circle), progressed (green) and transit (red); only the fast
planets are given as progressed, and the outer planets given as transits.
The thin red lines are the annual transit paths of the outer planets, with
the position at the start date and a year later marked by small ticks.
The selection of planets corresponds to the report 'Yearly Horoscope
Analysis' by Liz Greene; I developed this chart type when I worked with Liz
on the development of this report, which took three years, and ran the
multitude of sample charts with this chart type for an easy overview of
transits and progressions. The annual and monthly movement of the progressed
Moon is also given besides the position table.
You can use colors as a key to read this graph: all red stuff refers to
transits, all green stuff to progressions.
I love everything I've seen so far. Since discovering your service, ie having charts at my fingertips, my astrology learning has finally started to gel. For printing on my printer however, I don't care for the thick lines on the high quality chart. Hard to read in a stellium! Thank you soooo much!

Hello Alois and CH. The new chart formats and choices are excellent, we are spoilt for choice! All the charts print out, (except for the last Walter Pullen option where I do not get anything). I use win95 (pentium 233), Microsoft Office 97 and the latest version of Outlook Express and a HP 690c printer. I hope this info. is useful - I don't know what it means, its just what's here! I don't suppose a slice of the webmaster's brain is available on mail order? Its amazing - you continue to offer more and more, you really do run a remarkable service, thank you yet again. Best regards.

Alois adds: thanks for mentioning the failure of the last Pullen option.
It is fixed now.
More changes will come soon - we will separate the HQ charts and the
Pullen charts into two different selection pages, to make it less confusing
as the set of available options between the two program is quite
different.
Free reports will also come soon, with five different choices
and up to 40 pages per report. We do not know how long we can afford
to offer the free reports but we will give it a try.
Instead of a chart appearing, the message says"the data you have entered on this server has expired, as more than an hour has passed since they were entered. Please press Update timezone, etc. It doesn't work. You've changed some of the format. Is this the problem?

page, pressed the button and then gone again to the chart? When we
test it, it does work.
I think the new chart format is harder to read than the simpler chart. I think that the graphics (too bright and big) are distracting.
Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE this database and am very grateful to have access to it.

olympia --- Friday, June 11, 1999 at 02:56 Swiss time
Visited your wonderful site again tonight. I like the new high quality charts with the one reservation that I'm not keen on the "hand-drawn" looking planet and sign glyphs - personally, on a computer chart I like the nice neat glyphs like the astrolog ones - that may just be the obsessive-compulsive in me. On the other hand, the new charts are certainly easier to read, especially the aspect lines - they make up for the difficulties of seeing them in the astrolog charts. The new charts also have an aspect grid and FEAW/CFM grids which are helpful to have on the same page.
The new large format astromaps are wonderful!
The main down side of these new charts came when I tried to print them out.
The large format astromaps can't be printed out (only half the map comes out and then on two pages) - only saved - probably needful to allow the amount of detail contained in them - but would it be possible to have a sort of intermediate size A4 printable version of the more detailed ones?
It might help to have a note that 800x600 charts need to be printed out on landscape orientation not portrait (they don't fit on the page in portrait).
The new high quality charts on best print quality also don't fit A4! I tried altering the page set-up for my printer, even removing margins - then they just about fit except for the bottom line which comes out on a second page.
I mention these because most of us probably have standard size printers using A4 paper.
It may be something I'm doing wrong, or there may be a reason why you've set it up like this. Your comments would be appreciated.
Meanwhile, the inclusion of the Liz Greene and other styles of charts is great, although I am only vaguely familiar with Huber techniques, but it has opened my eyes to some types of chart which I've never heard of and it's given me food for thought. Astrology is such a big subject with so many variations!
I hope this feedback is helpful. Your site certainly gets better and better! Keep up the good work. With kind regards and best wishes to you all.
Shamus Teale [ *tinyonline.co.uk ]
, England --- Friday, June 11, 1999 at 01:41 Swiss time
Alois adds: Dear Shamus, thanks for the detailed feedback. I need
to get some more information about your printer setup. The HQ charts are
currently 760 pixels wide and 1120 pixels high. It ought to be possible
to print such bitmaps on all printers, as all printers have resolution
of 150 pixel/inch or much higher. At 150 pixel/inch the chart image measure
only 5.07 inches wide, or 129 millimeters. It seems to be a software problem
between your browser and your printer driver which does scale up the charts
so that they do not fit onto a page.
On all printers we could test here at Astrodienst under Windows 95, 98 and NT
the charts where scaled nicely, so that they came out 160 mm wide. The
browser obviously chose to print them at 120 dpi.
Please let me know, which operating system, browser and printer you
have been using.
Your new format is impressive, I'm still learning what it all means, but it looks much better! Thanks!

Alois adds: What is it you understood about the 'old-style' charts which
you do not understand in our new selection?
We now offer a large spread of chart styles which where created over
many years of porfessional cooperation with various astrologers, mostly
in the German speaking countries. The charts represent some special
techniques and rules which only those astrology schools know the
details about.
You should stick to the first three selections
in the list of 'High Quality' charts; those are created and used
by Astrodienst itself and contain no 'obscure' features. Often the
differences are only about color or orb and aspect selection, though.
We would have 50 more 'chart styles' to offer, see our catalogue section
You can also stick to the 'old style' small charts, which continue
to be available at the site.

Steven Davis [ *yahoo.com ]
dearborn, US --- Thursday, June 10, 1999 at 15:29 Swiss time
Alois adds: I can explain our coding in the staircase-aspect table:
For example, a square has an exact angle of 90 degrees between the two
planets. If the actual angle is only 85 degrees, the orb is -5 (5 degrees to
little), if the actual angle is 95 degrees, the orb is +5 (5 degrees too many).
In addition, an aspect can be separating (the planets move away from
the exact angle, indicated by S) or applicative (the planets are approaching
the exact aspect, indicated by A).
Example: Sun at 15 Aries, Moon at 20 Cancer: angle is 95 degrees, orb +5,
the aspect is separating (S) because Moon moves faster than Sun.
Example 2: Moon at 10 Capricorn: angle is again 95 degrees, orb +5, the aspect
is applicative (A) because the Moon approaches the exact aspect point.
The new charts are beautiful! I always check your site for daily transits, or when I can't be bothered to calculate horoscopes by hand. Normally I don't need these new really big charts for the updates, but for full horoscopes; stunning. Absolutely stunning. :)

One Question: Your chart maker says that it corrects for any daylight saving times, but it does not do so for my chart. I was born August 14, 1974 in Bitburg, Germany. Normally, this is one hour East of GMT. But in Summer, when the clock is also placed one hour ahead of regular time, the net result is TWO hours east of GMT.
Any ideas?

Your site is virtually the landmark for precision and savoie faire. The "electronic" interpretations generated by Mrs.Green and Herr
Treindl are truly astonishing, I have never found such "human" touch in a computer program.Congratulations!!!

Ich bin am 22.07.1980 um 14:24 Uhr in Siegen Ger. geboren. Nach meinen Informationen steht die Sonne in 29° Krebs und der Aszendent in 1° Skorpion. Inwieweit bin ich durch Löwe( Sonne ) und Waage
( Aszendent ) beeinflusst? Wie äussert sich das?

Thank you for the free service. It is simply great. As a student of vedic astrology, I would be interested to know if you could introduce the "ayanamsa" as an option, to correct for the sidereal zodiac.
As for free software, for those interested in vedic astrology, there is the excellent software developed by Brian Conrad at http://www.jyotishtools.com/
His site will also direct you to the excellent Seer's Cave site developed by Ron Grimes, with textual information about how to read the vedic charts -- amazing predictive accuracy.
Happy star gazing :-)

I was very sorry to see, after formatting my Hard Drive, that you no longer were making the Software for the Charts available as a Free Download. I enjoyed doing Professional-Looking Natal Charts with the numerous 'Bells & Whistles' for my friends. Is this still available & I just haven't found it? Do you now charge $$ for it? Or is it just no longer available? Would appreciate short, concise reply. Thanks, *cpol.net

I am trying to understand how to correct birth times by the longitudes and wether dst...example of los angeles 23.aug.*2:44am it was dst and your chart says 7hr...first you subtract an hour for dst then you add 7 hr for standard time, right? why then does clock show 944? Also if i look up 118w15 that equals 7hr53minutes, why does your chart only adjust 7 hr??? please help! E

This is an incredible website!! I was born 2-4-62 during the major conjuction in Aquarius. I would like to hear from others born at that time to compare charts and see what they are doing in their lives. I believe the actress, Jennifer Jason Leigh was born on 2-3-62, is there any way to access her birth data or see what her chart looks like?
