AstroClock

In Kepler an AstroClock and TriWheel animation are available. These features have also been tremendously improved in Sirius.

• In Sirius you can also view BiWheel animations with either transit and natal charts or of progressed and natal charts, and also a QuadWheel of the natal, transit, and either 2 progressed charts, or a progressed chart and a natal chart.
• You can also adjust the charts forward or backward in time or watch them move automatically.
• You can also make some changes to the wheel style, and view separate wheels rather than multi-ring wheels. For example, you can view 4 separate wheels instead of a QuadWheel.
• You can also easily switch between a QuadWheel and 4 separate wheels. You can also interactively select different kinds of progressed charts. In short, greater flexibility, power, and elegance has been added to the interactive charts.
• Now you can interactively view these charts over time and see other charts, like returns and other kinds of progressions.
• The interactive manipulation of charts is a style of using software that some astrologers love and some do not use at all.

Sirius provides you a vast number of features so that it is very likely that the tools that you like are available. Also, we all change and grow, and if you decide you would like to experiment or use another tool, there is a reasonably good chance that it is already in Sirius and you do not need to purchase another program or hope that some day it will be added in the future.

• The time of an AstroClock can now be automatically adjusted to the location for which the AstroClock is calculated. For example, if you live in London and are viewing an AstroClock for Los Angeles, it is nice for the AstroClock to automatically adjust for the time zone and observance of daylight saving time in Los Angeles rather than use the computer clock time. This is now possible in Sirius.
• Like the other animated wheels, you can now easily adjust the time interactively as well as view the chart in an AstroClock style where the chart is automatically updated in real time or an accelerate time.

Note that there are two AstroClocks in Sirius:
There is one in Kepler Workshop and one in the main Sirius program. Both AstroClocks are similar but there are some features that are different in each program. One good reason for having the AstroClock in both the main Sirius program and Kepler Workshop is that you may be working on some particular part of one of themodules and do not wish to overlay the AstroClock over what you are doing or exit the section of the program you are in.
