The Eclipse mapping module has been significantly enhanced in two ways: one can now view eclipse lines on map regions (like continents, countries, and individual states) in addition to the World map, and many cities for each area are shown. Sirius has a discrete module called the Kepler Workshop, which also has a wide range of updates and new features.
You can now add planetary nodes to chart wheels, and there's also a new well-designed color-coded harmonics table for the first 31 harmonics, based upon ideas in a new book by David Hamblin (To see an image of this table, please go to the TMA link page*). In the bi-, tri-, and quad-wheel animation screen, the number of available progression methods has increased from 10 to 20, and now includes profections, Solar declination arc, Solar Right Ascension arc, and more.
In addition to the program's already extensive set of research features, this update adds several tools for exploring planetary placement in Gauquelin Sectors, including the ability to assign points to each planet in a sector (and the program includes the entire set of Gauquelin charts in its database.) Version 1.2 makes it easy to select a category (and subcategories) of charts to explore or research, to switch categories, and to move charts from one category to another. These charts have been also been placed into categories (and sub-categories), such as famous people, businesses, countries, medical or psychological conditions, mundane events, and more, which is a boon for research. One of the deep strengths of Sirius is its huge database of charts (over 49,000 charts) which continues to grow and improve. I consider this to be of great value, because Sirius covers such a large number of astrological approaches, and it's wonderful to have all of the techniques that apply to each approach accessible in a single menu. see all of the possible reports and tables available for many different astrological schools, each in their own menu, including ancient Western, Fixed Star, asteroids, midpoints, Vedic, Huber, Harmonics, degrees meanings, etc. You can now select reports within Sirius by astrological method, i.e. (To see a sample of this report, please go to the TMA link page*)
I can see people purchasing the upgrade just to get this report. This is a truly amazing report, a real labor of love, and will dazzle and inform astrologers about asteroids they never knew about. Sirius 1.2 offers one major new report: the Asteroid Report, which finds the asteroids that are conjunct the planets and angles (from 1,450 asteroids), and then delineates those within one degree of any point. Therefore, Sirius 1.2 has the most accurate and most comprehensive atlas available for astrologers. I would like to first mention that David Cochrane, the creator of Sirius, is exceptionally diligent about incorporating the latest time changes, and also important corrections for previous time zone errors, and the new version of Sirius not only has many such fixes and updates, but also adds 75,000+ places to its already superlative atlas. This new version includes many enhancements of existing features, refinements to the user-interface, and several new capabilities. My Mountain Astrologer review of Sirius 1.2Ĭosmic Patterns, the creators of Kepler and Sirius, have just released a major update to Sirius, version 1.2. The Transit Text Listing and Clients Database) are now exportable. The Kepler Workshop Main Window is now movable and resizeable, and several of its screens (e.g. Composite Charts can now be calculated using the direct distance between planets instead of only planetary longitude.Ħ. The Harmonic Highlights Report now includes interpretations of planetary pictures of four planets in a symmetrical pattern.ĥ. to the progressed chart) can now be calculated.Ĥ. Astromapping has been enhanced by the added ability to see city names and positions in the Eclipse mapping, parallels of latitude can be shown in AstroMaps, and specific planets can be selected in the Asteroids Map.ģ.
The famous charts collection has been expanded to over 80,000 charts, making it the largest database in any available program.Ģ. I have just received additional information on the Sirius 1.3 update:ġ.
Nevertheless, with the addition of hundreds of thousands of places to its atlas, Sirius 1.3 becomes the astrology software champion for those who want to have the most accurate and extensive time-change atlas available. Sirius - Cosmic Patterns Flagship Program Sirius 1.3 Īccording to the makers of Sirius, the 1.3 upgrade is a minor upgrade that will mainly appeal to those living in foreign countries who need an atlas that covers more international cities and towns.
