Astro for Windows is a powerful and accurate program for astrological analysis that provides informative, narrative text interpreting the results. While many astrological computer programs produce accurate results, they mostly produce just the numbers and the facts. To find out about yourself or others you must do much research into the "delineation&quot\; or interpretation of the numbers and the signs. Astro for Windows, on the other hand, is designed to produce a textual type of output, consisting of the numbers as well as text interpreting the results into significant terms. Astro also provides a graphics cartwheel printout that helps in understanding the individual's chart.Astro can be used by the new astrologer who really doesn't understand all the details in interpretation, as well as by the experienced astrologer. It includes several built in databases. One is for people's birth dates, times and places. The other is for locations, giving all the necessary data for approximately 1000 U.S. and Canadian cities and approximately 200 foreign cities.Astro uses highly accurate routines to generate the planet positions, house cusps, and aspects.
