FIRE GOLD contains something for everyone. For Advanced Astrologers and
professionals, it has a great variety of high-precision astrological
calculations, and an exceptional degree of user-customisation. For
Novices, its innovative point-and-click chart interpretations provide
an enjoyable way to learn, and its many easily-explored options are an
invitation to experiment with new techniques.
*SOLAR FIRE is
designed for both novice and expert astrologers providing easy access
to high quality chart production—easy in the Windows environment; SOLAR
FIRE GOLD uses state of the art planetary calculations from the highly
accurate Swiss Ephemeris. You can create charts galore!
*Solar
Fire's capabilities include natal, progression, directed, any planet or
asteroid return, pre-natal, rising/setting, lunar phase, locality,
heliocentric, composite, harmonic and harmonic arc transform charts and
more…
*The planet or electional search: You can search through
your chart files one at a time to discover charts with similar
features. You can look for planets in the same signs, house, aspects
and/or position. The powerful time search capability enables you to use
a wide range of astrological criteria and chart data criteria. Solar
Fire makes it all so easy and the results are fascinating.
*Wheels,
plain and fancy: Solar Fire lets you change the appearance of the
charts. You can assign any colour that your computer screen offers to
each individual planet, sign and aspect type. You can pick unusual
fonts for the birth data and ‘Compliments of’ text. And you can pick
from an exciting new array of wheels, from maximally readable to
maximally colourful and exotic.
*In case none of these wheels
suit you, Solar Fire has a unique, innovative Wheel Designer that lets
you easily design your own. Let’s face it: most of us don’t need 200
wheels, we just need a few that we like. Using the Wheel Designer, you
can have the fun of changing the size and number of circles and charts
on each wheel, the line style, cusp style, placement size and type
style and dozens of other attributes, and really create the wheel of
your dreams. The neatest thing about it is that you can see the changes
take place as you make them. No waiting and no unpleasant surprises!
*You
can also choose from an array of page designs to suit your needs. Take
your pick from a range of high-quality page layouts or design your own
page complete with unique wheels, reports and even your own logo. You
can find a page to suit your needs whether you are a horary, medieval,
psychological or esoteric astrologer! Astrological publishing has never
been this easy. Also
note our lovely chart art displays.
*The deeper you look, the more you find gold.
*PREDICTIVE
ASTROLOGERS can make sense of mountains of timed hits, thanks to Solar
Fire’s Time Map graphs, graphic ephemeris and its great sorting
capabilities. Besides sorting timed hits in the usual chronological
order, you can sort with the slowest-moving transits first. Or, try
grouping natal points to see how each is affected by transits during
the period. Or, put exact and leaving hits upfront with the entering
hit to see the whole course of each transit as it starts. Or, sort
transits, progressions, directions, ingresses, stations and eclipses
into separate sections. Dynamic lists have the same advanced options
(tertiaries, minors, quotidians, Bija correction, etc.) as individual
charts, and there’s a full selection of return charts, including
precession-corrected and converse. Also note our new calendar complete
with short text.
*RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLORS will be fascinated by
what the multi-person composite charts (of up to 15 people) and
four-chart dials reveal about groups. A synastry grid with orbs lets
you quickly spot the issues. Or you can make a synastry interpretations
report.
*Students of astronomical cycles will like the ingress,
lunar-phase, rise/set, and return charts. Returns can be for any planet
or asteroid, or to any specified point in the zodiac, and you can do a
whole string of returns automatically from one input. You can also find
ingresses and eclipses in the dynamic search option, and can create
custom ephemeris pages for any period in history.
*TRADITIONAL ASTROLOGERS will enjoy the unique dignities
editor
in Solar Fire which enables you to explore the world of medieval
astrology with a unique almuten and dignity editor. You can set the
editor and produce your own set of ancient calculations from a simple
Essential Dignities score to a more complicated Chart Almuten.
Traditional astrologers will also enjoy the Arabic Parts editor which
lets you add any A+B-C factors with accompanying keywords. Factors can
be planets, house cusps, rulers, dispositors, other parts, the prenatal
lunation or any specified degree in the zodiac. Likewise, the Fixed
Star editor lets you add traditional star meanings to those already in
the program. Needless to say, there’s also a horary page with full
Lilly-style dignities, almutens of houses, planetary hours, and the day
or night Part of Fortune.
*You can also explore the world of
Primary Directions with Ptolemy’s method. All of these methods in the
one program make Solar Fire very enticing for the medieval astrologer.
*ESOTERIC
ASTROLOGERS can work with esoteric and hierarchical rulerships, ray
interpretations, and the esoterically important planet Vulcan. You can
also enjoy a range of esoteric planets.
*Students of prenatal
charts can use 18 kinds of prenatal chart, including Bailey and
Jayne-type charts for conception and quickening.
*Heliocentric,
sidereal and draconic astrologers can use these options in virtually
any chart, and can display charts in the different frameworks on the
same multi-wheel.
*COSMOBIOLOGISTS AND URANIANS will love the
Cosmobiology dials in Solar Fire complete with pointers, as well as the
ability to do transits to midpoints and watch the mid-points
transiting. You can also do midpoint sorts, lists and trees in any
modulus, and can include the Aries Point along with Uranian planets.
You can also adapt the Arabic Parts Editor to do Uranian A+B-C pictures.
*Writers
and editors can easily send both graphics and text to word processing
and DTP programs. Wheels and aspectarians come out beautifully sharp as
Windows Metafiles, and keep their clarity at any size. Listings and
interpretations come out as text, which you can edit and format just
like any other text. These include natal charts, transits,
progressions, firdaria and synastry reports.
*Professionals can
send some or all of the 20-odd pages of interpretations on each chart
to a word processor as a starting-point for an individualized written
interpretation. They can also rewrite the text database itself. Novices
will find the point-and-click and hit list interpretations a delightful
way to learn. You can also link directly to the illustrated range of
purpose-built Solar Writer report writers (as well as other
professional astrology tools).
*LOCATIONAL ASTROLOGY is also
featured with world mapping features, relocated, Johndro and Geodetic
charts, and links to the comprehensive astro-locality program, Solar
Maps.
*VEDIC ASTROLOGERS can enjoy the North Indian and South
Indian square charts, dasas, bhuktis, Whole Sign and Hindu Bhava Houses
(Sri Pati), Lahiri, Krishnamurti and other ayanamsas. It is also
possible to cast various Vedic divisional charts and to view the
Nakshatras (Vedic lunar divisions) in the Solar Fire Gold tabulations
which shows the Nakshatras for the current chart according to the
default sidereal zodiac. The names and types of the mansions are given,
as well as a few keywords describing the attributes of each mansion.
*WHAT'S NEWS IN GOLD?
*CALENDAR
See your personal and/or daily transits and interpretations in our
elegantly designed Calendar. You can easily and quickly display any
dynamic report in calendar format, for a day, week or month at a time.
You can print your Solar Calendar or email it to your family, friends
or clients. Your interpretations can be shown as popup hint bubbles, or
as a separate report. The Calendar can also be produced as a PDF file
and then easily exported as calendar events into other calendar
programs such as MS Outlook, or any other calendar applications that
are compatible with the iCalendar or vCalendar formats. This amazing
new feature has to be experienced!
*CHART ART GALORE Our team of
Solar Fire designers and artists has added a range of 20+ Chart Art to

POP-UP REMINDERS Now you can select friends, family and clients’ charts
for a special pop-up birthday reminder! Every day that you open your
Solar Fire Gold your selected reminders will pop-up and jog your memory
for the birthdays of clients, family and friends.

definitions to make up the Solar Encyclopedia .
*NEW CHART DATA
2000+ Rodden-rated charts in new chart categories including
Entertainment, Politics, Sports, Literature, Corporate, Science,
Infamous and more.
*ASTRODYNES (also known as Cosmodynes) Many
of you have requested this technique and our team has responded.
Astrodynes can be viewed and printed in the new Report View tabulation
list and have also been added as 8 different page objects. These can be
added to a page using the Page Designer.
*INTERPRETATIONS
Stephanie Johnson, Astrologer and Co-author of the Solar Fire range of
products, has written unique Firdaria interpretations covering a
person’s life-span of these ancient planetary periods. Brief transit
and progression interpretations have also been provided for the new
Calendar.
*CHART POINTS Now you can view 14 new standard chart
points including Selena (the White Moon), Sedna and Eris! Along with
all of the current displayed points available, Solar Fire Gold now has
various chart angles (including Munkasey’s angles) and zodiac points.
*WHEEL
AND DIAL PREVIEW This simple but effective addition adds to the ease of
Solar Fire. Now you can preview your chart or dial style before
selecting it!
*REPORTS The Chart Reports facility has always
been a welcome addition to Solar Fire but now if you look you will see
an extra Tabulations button. Click on this and be amazed by the
elegance of the tabulations. All of the familiar chart reports are
available with the addition of new ones.
*NEW SEARCH FACILITIES
If you were already delighted with Solar Fire’s electional and chart
search facilities, then you are likely to be amazed by the new search
conditions. Now you can search for Chart Shapes, Unaspected planets,
Day of Week and Midpoints! Some chart shapes also allow selection of
which planet is key (eg. Lead planet in a Locomotive, Handle planet in
a Sling or Bucket). And if that is not enough Solar Fire Gold now
allows for full Boolean logic support! And there’s more…
*DYNAMIC
REPORTS Such a simple addition but such a welcome one is the ability to
define your own dynamic report columns and now include AGE! And now you
can see aspects already in Orb at the start of each report. This means
that long term transit hits are always visible in report, even if no
E/X/L event occurs during report period. Our Dynamic events now always
have highest accuracy possible, including for large time steps. Auto
DST adjustments are now applied to report events and a timezone column
added to show which timezone applies to each event.
*ATLAS The built-in full ACS Atlas is a great boon, but now it is really Gold with the ability to add your own Place data.
*CHART
VIEWING: The Chart View screen has new Print Preview modes. Three
buttons now allow you to also see the page as it would be printed
(print preview), and also a zoomed, scrollable print preview.
*STATIONS:
Stations are now shown with “S” on wheels, and listed in Basic chart
report. You can define “Station” in the Preferences.
*HOUSE
SYSTEMS: You can now switch more easily between house systems. For
instance you can select a different default house system for Vedic
charts, and the Sidereal/Tropical toggle option (Ctrl+Z as a shortcut)
therefore now also toggles the house system.
*TRUE/MEAN NODE: You can now switch between these for any calculated chart/s (using Ctrl+L as a shortcut).
*RETAINED CHARTS: You can now add a single extra retained charts instead of having to re-retain all charts at once
*EXTRA
RING POINTS: Wheels can now show the aspects between the extra points.
Note that this requires use of a wheel design which displays extra
points only ie. without displaying standard points.
*OPENING
SCREEN BAR: Your Planet Status bar at the top and bottom of your Solar
Fire opening screen has now been improved with pop-up hints and the
nearest lunar phases and eclipses.
