Atlas: – New up-to-date in V9.0 –

Kepler comes with a complete atlas of the world with over 260,00 cities. easy-to-use: type in upper or lower case, see cities as you type, and narrow the search for a specific country or state desired. The time zone and daylight savings time information is complete and up-to-date; every year some countries change laws regarding daylightr savings time, and these changes are entered into our tables. This is absolutely necessary in order to calculate a chart accurately!

Ease of Use:

While you enter the person's name (or place of birth), a list of names (or places) to select from automatically appears - no hunting around or pressing keys to tell Kepler to look up the data.
Handy features like the ability to remove the listing of famous charts so you can see only your own with 2 mouse clicks make using the program fun and easy.
Just do what you need to do: for example suppose you need to change the spelling of a person's name that has been saved on disk; all you do is change the spelling and the database is updated for you. Removing data is just as easy.
When entering the place of birth, you can simply begin entering the place, and then you also have the option to narrow the listing of cities to one country or state, a useful feature when you are unsure of the correct spelling.
Any printout being viewed on the screen can be printed by simply clicking the "Print This Screen" button. See also the discussion of "batch mode" and "interactive mode" above for more information on this.
If you are pre-selecting printouts ("batch mode") and need to un-select a printout, just un-check the box.
Seemingly complex requests like a BiWheel with Jack's natal chart in the center and Jill's progressed chart on the outside is very easy to do.
Visual previews that show you the AstroMap, wheel style or wheel feature that you are selecting make it easy to get exactly the printout desired before you view or print it.
Customize a wheel while you select it, and also make these selections the new default if you like.
Easy Conversion of Old Style Calendar (Julian) to New Style Calendar (Gregorian).

Rectification Assistance: Learn More >

You can enter the date when a person got married, was in an accident, or experienced other major events, and obtain a total score based on how many transiting and progressed aspects occurred that match the events. Then you can adjust the birth time and compare scores. You can, of course, change the astrological weighting for each transiting or progressed aspect. For the astrologer who is serious about chart rectification, this feature is a big help
