After reviewing astrology software professionally for over 21 years, I decided to make my reviews available to you, my website visitors, to help you in your choosing astrology software. If at any point you need further help, and when you're ready to get software, please contact me by clicking here to send me an email, or call me toll free at 888-777-7366 (or at 510-525-3399) and I'll return your call if I'm not immediately available. (By working with me, you support this website, and get my expert advice and great discounts on your software purchase.) You can also go to my secure online astrology software order form by clicking here. Important Note: I am providing, on this page, published reviews that I have written over the years for the AFA Bulletin, American Astrology, Mercury Direct, and The Mountain Astrologer. All of the reviews have been error-checked by the creators of the software, and are therefore factually correct. I was recently contacted by someone who read one of my reviews and bought the software based upon that review, and was subsequently disappointed by what they received. The software had all of the features I had mentioned in the review, but was harder to learn and to use than they had anticipated. In addition, some programs have longstanding bugs that have never been fixed. That is why I consistently recommend that people contact me, via email -- click here or by telephone (510-525-3399 or toll free at 888-777-7366) for a free consultation so that I can help them get exactly the software that will work best for them. My only requirement is that people order their software through me (at an excellent discount). You'll get the same fully registered programs, and the same service and support as if you ordered directly from the manufacturer, plus my expert help before and after you get each program. My reviews do not compare programs, only I can do that. Additionally, I don't focus on the negative features of software in my reviews. You'll need to talk to me to discover the potential problems with any program. I'm happy to help you, and don't want you disappointed with anything that you buy. Addendum: I have been asked by a customer to emphasize one additional point: customer service. Because I am in regular contact with all of the major astrology software companies, and with many owners of astrology software, I am continually informed by them about the quality of each company's customer support -- helping to answer questions, willingness to fix bugs and promptess in doing so, availability, dedication to improving their products, etc. Astrology software companies vary very widely in all of these categories, and I primarily recommend programs whose creators offer better customer service, too. For the most current information on astrological software, please also read the latest issues of my SoftStar News bimonthly online newsletter, which offers First Looks, short reviews, free astrology software, neat utilities, and more. New Note: Because several of my reviews are older, and some programs have been discontinued, greatly changed (not always for the better), neglected, or have had serious problems, I have added a new tag called Old with additional information after the names of some of the programs below. Be very careful about purchasing programs labeled Old, and contact me for more information. The Reviews: 0. Operating Systems. Windows XP and Astrology Software 1. Calculation Programs.
