My "love affair" with astrology software began in 1978, when a grateful client gave me the money for my first microcomputer (as they were then called). Things were so primitive back then that I had to load my first astrology software via cassette tape, and it took several tries to work. But I was totally hooked when I first saw the planetary positions for a birth chart appear on my 9" green computer screen. Since then, I've watched an almost unbelievable evolution in astrology software. The programs are so powerful that most astrologers will never use half of the features of the best programs, so friendly that even children can run them, and lovely, with beautiful charts and graphics. During the past 40+ years, I have helped all of the major astrology software firms design and debug their programs, add many new features, and keep the prices down. I've guided thousands of astrologers to the software that best meets their needs, and written a book on astrology software and software reviews in American Astrology, the Mountain Astrologer, and the AFA bulletin. You can get free astrology software, download free demo versions of professional programs, and read my published reviews and articles to learn more about computer programs for astrology at my web page: The Ultimate Guide to Astrology Software. And please visit my Learn Astrology Free website, and explore my 160+ free lessons in Western & Vedic Astrology.
