Why Solar Fire X
A deep toolkit, not a chart generator
02
Precision underneath
Swiss Ephemeris calculation and the ACS Atlas underpin every chart, return, direction and map line the program draws.
03
Your tradition, your layout
Modern, traditional, Vedic-style or symmetrical — wheel styles, point sets, aspect sets and page designs bend to the way you practise.
04
Thirty years of refinement
Solar Fire X descends from nine editions of Solar Fire, first released in the 1990s and developed continuously ever since.
Flagship capabilities

Charting
Chart work begins with defined inputs: date, time, place and calculation settings. Solar Fire X calculates natal and event charts, then provides related-chart and comparison tools for following a question further.
Maps
Solar Maps brings a geographic view to chart work. Start with a calculated chart, examine its location-dependent relationships and compare places alongside relocated chart context.
Symmetry
Symmetry brings specialised dial and midpoint work into a dedicated Solar Fire X workspace. Use it to inspect relationships under the settings of your chosen method, alongside the program's inherited dial and midpoint tools.
Reports
Solar Fire X provides analytical reports, graphical tabulations and configurable layouts for examining and presenting chart work. Choose the material relevant to your question, then select the output suited to that view.
Interpretations
Interpretation material helps connect calculated chart factors with written descriptions. Solar Fire X provides chart-linked and general-text viewing paths, with editing tools for working on the material.
Forecasting
Transits, progressions, directions, returns and eclipses — computed over any period, then laid out as reports, calendars and graphic timelines you can actually read.
Research
Chart search, electional search and eclipse search with Boolean criteria — Solar Fire X turns a chart collection and the ephemeris itself into queryable research material.
