Astrological feature list

1) For beginners:

• Tooltip help for every chart feature
• Interactive astrological interpretation of any object displayed on the chart (planet, house, Zodiac sign)
• Extended computer-generated interpretations of natal (birth), synastry (compatibility of two people), and transit (astrological forecast) charts
• HTML-based help system
• Open library of interpretation texts, with a convenient system for cataloging texts, and the ability to select from texts for a particular type of chart
• Sabian symbols
• Recall previously created charts instantly from the history list
• Forecast up to 10 years ahead using a transit comparison with the natal chart, presented in graphical form
• Facilities for an interactive space photo-album and mythological art gallery
• I-Ching Oracle with multimedia facilities
• Insonation of interpretation texts by speech synthesizer

2) For the professional astrologer:

• Radix charts; single and dual charts (transits, synastry, various kinds of directions and progressions: solar, lunar, lunar phase, phase progression, progression of lunar...); any scale of progression and direction (including reverse); Primary Directions (with real movement of planets); Primary Directions using an oblique ascension at calculation direction angle between promissor and signifocator, are considered correct traditional method; Davison relationship charts; composite charts; coalescent charts; harmonic charts; Uranian 90 degree dial charts; Traditional Charts: some kinds of traditional (square) cards in the European medieval style and in several Indian styles.
• Complex charts: more then two (up to 7) planet rings in one chart wheel
• Fixed charts: include any kind of previousle calculated chart on a complex charts
• Multibot charts allowing to create several data sets in one chart (the data set is pair "initial, background"). Thus there is a possibility to place on a chart simultaneously a several natals and a several adhered to everyone natal derivative charts. In particular, it is possible, for example, to look aspects of planets of a progression of one natal to planets of another natal, aspects of a progression of several events to one natal, etc. [more]
• Option of topocentric, geocentric, heliocentric, horizontal and other systems of coordinates; several kinds of sidereal ajanamsa
• Right (3-dimension) displaying of Placidus house cusps at natal chart, at celestial sphere, at geographical map (ACG)
• Interactive adjustment of chart properties (colors, dimensions, objects displayed, etc); control of various operating parameters
• Astrological tables: Lunar days (and Moon Rises and Sets, New moons, Full moons), Sunrises and Sunsets, Planetary Hours, Ingresses of the Moon and planets, perigee and apogee of the Moon
• Parallels, contra-parallels, antiscia, and contrantiscia
• Interactive dynamics of time. Examine, for example, change of birth time resulting from the synchronous change of a progression chart
• Acceptance of centi-seconds of time and geographical coordinates
• Horary Wizard, allowing to automate some stages of construction and the analysis horary charts: a choice of significators and derivative houses, definition of conditions of realisation of aspects etc.
• "Pick and turn" technology for interactive chart adjustment using the chart's Sun, Moon, ASC or other plant glyph, with immediate recalculation of planet positions and aspects
• Parameters of planetary orbits and elements of rotation displayable on the chart
• Utilize asteroids, stars, nebulae, eclipses
• Support for hypothetical planets of the Uranian school and others; it's even possible to define your own planets
• Arabic parts (Pars, Lots), with interactive adjustment
• 27 systems of houses including Krusinski house system
• Interactive dynamics of geographical position. Examine, for example, places for relocation
• Graphic diagrams of planet movements and aspects: select radix, transit, progression, or directions for any period of time from 1 month to 10 years, using any subset of planets and houses, in harmonics of 360, 90, 60, 45, 30 degrees
• Database facilities with embedded photos
• Run second ZET instance with a chart, selected from Data Base or History log
• High-quality output to laser and inkjet printers with TrueType fonts
• and many other

Astronomical functions

• Complete calculation of the orbits of planets; full astronomical data on all the planets
• Accuracy of calculation of 1 arc-second
• Calculates the exact positions for major asteroids between 1500 to 2150. Includes data for 11000 other known and designated asteroids, with exact calculation between 1998-2002, and the option of exact calculation for any date using additional ephemeris files obtainable over the Internet
• Includes 9100 stars (Yale Bright Star Catalog) and 200000 with the Hipparcos Catalog
• 3D Space tableau showing the solar system, planets' satellites, asteroids, orbits, and background stars; zoomable, with animation and the option of an astronomical photo-gallery
• 3D Celestial Sphere planetarium, showing stars, planets, astrological relationships, and horizontal, equatorial, ecliptical systems of coordinates; zoomable, with animation, and interactive information
• Calculation of periods of Algol fixed star brightness minima (operation displying and calendar)

Astrocartography

• Google Maps: function carries out access to the Internet Google Maps service, gives out the image of the set site of a terrestrial surface in a separate window, allows to establish geographical co-ordinates of the necessary object to within the 100-th fractions of a second. (30 sm).
• Zoomable interactive World map, with city names, boundaries, and location marking; option of using a detailed topographic map (ZET Geo)
• Map on the Earh globe
• Atlases of 14000 cities (World Atlas) and 200000 cities (World Atlas II, e.g. 4255 for United Kingdom) supplied: coordinates can be edited, and new places added. Additional special Big Atlases available e.g. Atlas for Russia contains approx. 200000 names
• Names of cities, counties (regions) and countries on a map
• Planets at zenith point projected on the map
• Various projections of the grid of the current astrological houses on the geographical map
• Projection of aspects between planets and angular cusps, showing lines on the Earth where these are salient
• Combination of InMundo and Angular projections
• Prime Vertical and Vertex-AntiVertex axes projections
• Geodetic projection of a celestial object (star, planet, asteroid) onto the geographical map (with alternative projection systems)
• Lines of ecliptical and equatorial longitude from the symbolic projection of a celestial object onto the Earth
• Local Space projection - lines of geographical azimuthal direction to planets
• Symbolic projection of cities to the zodiac
• Select any subset of planets for projection
• Parans - ACG line crossings
• List of Parans for the latitude of any city using selectable orb. List can include stars
• Use Astrocartography not just on single charts (natal, radix, etc), but with any double chart
• Cyclo-cartography: possibility to choose any set of planets both for transit, progression, direction and other prognostric chart planets, and display its lines on a geomap
