Solar Fire X for astrology students
Cast practice charts, compare calculations and explore the techniques you are studying. Solar Fire X gives you chart material to work with as you develop your own understanding of astrology.
In practice
The workflow
Begin with a chart you can examine
Enter birth or event data and calculate the chart's positions, angles, declinations and houses. Choose the zodiac and house settings required by your study, then use the result alongside your course materials or teacher's example.
A useful exercise starts with clear inputs. Record the time, place and calculation settings so you can compare results and understand what changes when a setting changes.
Study techniques through comparison
Use the same starting data to explore different calculations. Compare a natal chart with a harmonic chart, inspect a configured Lot formula, or examine how composite and Davison charts are constructed.
Different questions call for different tools:
- Natal charts for learning positions, houses and angles.
- Harmonic charts for studying transformed planetary relationships.
- Dignity and Lot calculations for selected traditional techniques.
- Composite and Davison charts for relationship-chart exercises.
Keep the method and its settings visible as you work. A calculation provides the material for study; interpretation develops through reading, practice and discussion.
Read alongside the chart
The interpretation viewer includes chart and general modes, with interpretation-file selection and editing tools. Use the available text alongside the chart and your other learning resources.
As your study becomes more specialised, explore the tools relevant to the subject. You can follow a focused path into traditional techniques, harmonics, electional searching or dial work without making every tool part of every exercise.
