What's New In Solar Fire 6
Solar Fire 6’s new Chart-File Search gives you a powerful and
quick
way to locate all charts in a given category. It can search through
hundreds or even thousands of charts and pull out charts with
virtually
any kind or combination of astrological signatures. These range from
a
simple planet, asteroid, hypothetical body or house cusp in a given
sign on up to any of 25 multi-planet aspect patterns (t-squares,
grand
trines, yods, heles, rosettas Thor’s Hammers, grand quintiles and
more). You can search for two points in a given phase relationship,
a
point that is in aspect to any specified zodiacal position, or a
point
at, above or below a given longitude, latitude, right ascension,
declination, azimuth, altitude or speed. In addition, the Chart
Search
offers a rich selection of classical criteria -- 7 types of horary
consideration; any point that has a given dignity, ruler or almuten;
or
the ruler, almuten, antiscion or contra-antiscion of a point being a
specified planet or having a specified dignity.
You can also search for any word or character string in the chart
comments, making it possible to see whether people who have similar
life themes have similar charts. Or you can look for astro twins by
searching for similar birth dates, times and Ascendants. Or search
on
“days to birthday” to find clients who are soon due for a solar
return reading.
Besides searching for hundreds of single criteria, you can use
“And/Or/Not” connectors to combine any number of criteria, and you
can
save these complex criteria files for future use. By enabling you to
see how astrological principles actually work out in practice, Solar
Fire 6’s new Chart Search is guaranteed to broaden and solidify your
astrological knowledge.
- New Electional or Time Search lets you specify criteria similar to
those in the Chart Search. Solar Fire 6 then lists all time periods
when these criteria are in force. This helps you find the optimum
time
window for starting a project. It also makes it easy to find all
periods in history that have a specific combination of astrological
conditions.
- New aspect highlighting is an enormous help in making sense of the
aspect lines in the center of the wheel. Earlier Solar Fire versions
enabled you to color-code aspects. Now you can also specify
increasingly wide lines as an aspect approaches exactness, and
dotted lines when an aspect separates. In a natal chart, this makes the
most important aspects really stand out. In the animated chart, it
dramatizes each aspect’s build-up, perfection and separation as the
planets move forward in time.
- New aspect filtering lets you temporarily cut out the kinds of
aspects that you’re not looking for so that the patterns that you
are
looking for stand out clearly. You can filter out all aspects beyond
a
certain orb, all separating aspects, all soft aspects, all aspects
that
don’t involve a specified planet or harmonic, etc. -- even all
aspects
that aren’t part of any of the 21 specific aspect patterns that
Solar
Fire 6 can recognize. Whether you’re viewing a chart wheel, aspect
grid or animated chart, it’s very easy to turn the filter window on and
off and to switch to from one filter to another as the need arises.
- New life-event storage. Besides storing chart comments, you can
now store unlimited life-event times, places and descriptions with any
natal chart. Gives you a convenient place to store this info, and
keeps it instantly ready for casting transiting, progressed and directed
charts for life events without your ever having to re-enter the
event
data. Also, in the animated chart view, you can click on any event
and
jump right to its exact date and time.
- New Vedic options -- a new detailed nakshatra table, 8 more
ayanamsas ( making a total of 15, plus user-defined) and now 20
types of Vedic divisional or harmonic charts (harmonics 1 through 12, plus
selected harmonics up to 60 and Iyer and regular types of 11th
harmonic chart). All this plus the existing dasa/bhukti tables, Vedic
unidirectional and sign-to-sign aspects, North and South Indian
square charts, and Hindu Bhava and Whole Signs (rasi) houses gives you all
you need to do basic Vedic. (Plus, as an added convenience, you can now
instantly toggle between the sidereal and tropical versions of a
chart.)
- New precision to the second of arc for all standard chart points
is an option in tables and ephemerides. This precision is realistic,
given Solar Fire’s state-of-the art Swiss Ephemeris accuracy.
- New Chinese Charting. Detailed or short tables give the Chinese
lunar mansion of each point in the chart. There’s also a Year Pillar
table that is correctly calculated for each lunar-based Chinese
year.
This gives the birth year’s animal, Chinese element and yin/yang
polarity.
- New Chart Preview makes it easier to find the chart that you’re
looking for. When you click on a calculated chart or you select a
chart
in your files, Solar Fire 6 instantly displays the whole chart in a
small but readable wheel design of your own choosing.
- New void-of-course Moon periods are now an option in Solar Fire’s
powerful dynamic hit lists and Time Maps. It’s easy to print out a
handy list for reference during the coming week, month or year. You can
even mix Void periods in the same list with other considerations like
retrograde periods, lunations, planetary ingresses and transiting aspects.
- New Age-Harmonic Charts are an innovative and potentially powerful
technique to add to your forecasting repertory. Solar Fire 6 lets
you instantly cast a harmonic chart based on a person’s exact age down
to the day, hour and minute (or the age plus 1 year). You can then see
transits to this chart in Solar Fire’s dynamic hitlists and graphs.
- New whole-day Planetary Hour tables show all changes of planetary
hours on any given day. (And of course, they’re correctly calculated
for the latitude and longitude of the locality.)
- New declination/latitude options include graphic declination and
latitude strips in page designs; new Longitude Equivalent
Declination charts (a Charles Jayne-inspired technique that converts the
longitudes of every chart point to the longitude that the Sun would be in if it
were at that declination); and (also as recommended by Charles
Jayne) directions (as well as transits and progressions) in declination or
latitude both in the dynamic hitlists and directed charts.
- New direction options. Besides offering solar arc and other
directions not just in the usual longitude but also in declination
or
latitude, the dynamic hitlists now include Van Dam primary
directions
(in addition to the existing mundane primaries). Also, both the
hitlists and the directed charts now include solar arc and other
directions in whole, half, double or reverse arcs.
- Improved Animated Chart has a fully functioning dial pointer.
Also,
it now lets you view pop-up interpretations, export calculated
charts,
and jump instantly to the regular chart screen.
- Improved graphic ephemerides now have handy Forward and Back
buttons that let you scroll through time as far as you wish without exiting
from the graph screen. Also, you can now see a readout of the
precise degree, date and time represented by the cursor’s position on the
graph. And, just as you can do in the hitlists, you can now have
graphic ephemerides showing half, double or reverse arc directions,
and directed (as well as transiting and progressed) declinations. You
can create graphic ephemerides in any modulus you wish, and if you want
to insert the graph into a word processing or other document, you can
right-click to send it to the clipboard or save it as a file.
- New progressed interpretations by Stephanie Johnson have been
added
to the existing natal, transiting and synastry interpretations. By
clicking on an item on the screen, you can instantly see its
meaning.
You can also view and print interpretation reports for a whole
hitlist
or chart.
- 1,000 Extra Asteroids. In addition to the 7 asteroids routinely
included in all Solar Fire options, Solar Fire 6 now offers
calculations for 1,000 extra asteroids from 5401 BC to 5399AD. These
are from the state-of-the art Swiss Ephemeris, and estimated
accuracy is to a few minutes of arc in 3000 BC. Besides bodies in the
asteroid belt, these extra points include a dozen Centaur-class asteroids and
the newly discovered Sedna and Quaoar. You can select any of these bodies to appear in extra-points wheel rings and tables for any
chart. You can also include them in dynamic hitlists, time maps, graphic ephemerides and table-style ephemerides.
- New chart-file format enables you to attach an unlimited list of
life events to any natal chart. It’s possible to use older Solar
Fire
charts -- and now even Nova-style charts -- directly in Solar Fire 6
without having to convert or import these charts. However, if you do
want to attach life events, it’s very easy to convert charts to
Solar
Fire 6 format. For extra safety, Solar Fire 6 automatically places a
backup copy of your old charts in an OldCharts folder.
- New precessed and converse transit charts (as well as progressed
and directed) can now not only be calculated, but also saved to your
files.
- New user-defined point order enables Solar Fire to list chart
points in whatever order you prefer. Now you can begin every point list on
the screen and in printouts with either the Sun or the Moon (or the
Ascendant or any other point you wish).
- New “More” and “Apply” buttons let you input data for as
many natal or subsidiary charts as you wish without exiting from the
calculation window. A great time and keystroke saver!
- Easier than Ever to Upgrade. Solar Fire 6 can bring over not just
your charts, but also your customized settings, from your previous
version of Solar Fire. And it can notify you whenever a new minor
upgrade or patch is available on the internet, so you can always
keep
up with very latest version.
