Overview

Research

Research astrologers need more than charts — they need questions. Solar Fire X searches chart files and future time alike with composable astrological criteria, Boolean logic and savable condition sets.

In practice

Testing a hypothesis about Saturn–Pluto contacts, a researcher searches the included data collections for charts with the pair in hard aspect to the angles, saves the condition set, then re-runs the same logic as an electional search to find the next public dates that repeat the pattern.
