The New Astrolog

Astrologers amongst you may rember a free astrology program called Astrolog. It was a DOS-based program, rather unwieldy, but with lots of features. And totally and utterly free.
There’s a new and better version of Astrolog out now – Astrolog32. It’s not by the original Astrolog creator, Walter Pullen, but is based on it; the original is open-source, as is this version.
And it’s a whole lot better. It has a proper Windows interface and runs on the highly reliable Swiss Ephemeris from Astrodienst. I’ve been trying it out today and I like it a lot.
Another astrology gubbins I’m trying out is a book and program called The Instant Astrologer. This isn’t bad – I’ve seen worse. And it’s for total beginners anyway. I got it sent to me for review so you’ll read my thoughts on it in the next Transit.
