Astrosignature and Electional Forecast Graphs can be produced for a single day in Sirius, with calculations being performed periodically through the day. You can select how often the calculations are performed, and you can also select only part of the day.
For example, you could look at 9 AM to 2 PM with calculations every 10 minutes, or look at the entire day with calculations done every half hour. With this new feature you can, for example, run an Electional Forecast for Business Success, select a date (let's say it is February 10 for example), and then select February 10 to see the fluctuations that occur throughout the day. In order to provide this feature the influence of the Moon and/or the Asc and MC and house placements is included. A convenient check box appears when you are doing a 1-day detail analysis so that you can easily turn on or turn off either the transiting house cusps or the transiting Moon.
Ability to select place: Also important to make this graph meaningful is the ability to select a place for the calculations, for times to be in local clock time, and not GMT and for changes in daylight saving time to be automatically detected.
Astrological influences that can be included in the AstroSignature and Electional Forecast Graph: planetary dignities, void of course Moon, and the planetary hour. Include the transiting Asc and MC.
Classical Electional Graph: In Sirius you can select a Classical Electional Graph based on each of the 7 visible planets and also Classical Electional Graphs based on each of the 12 houses. The Classical Electional Graphs based on the planets use astrological influences like aspects of the ruler of the Asc, Asc sign, planetary hour, the essential dignity of the planet, Ptolemaic aspects, and conjunctions to particular fixed stars.
The Classical Electional Graphs based on the houses use astrological influences like void of course Moon, aspects to ruler of the Asc, and planets in the first house. By using classical rules, Sirius is able to produce a graph that shows how favorable or unfavorable a planet (the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, or Saturn; we refer to the Sun and Moon as planets in astrology even though, of course, they are not) is throughout the day.
If, for example, you wish to know the most favorable times for Venus activities, then display the graph of Venus for the day for your place of residence and you have this information presented to you in a graph. Similarly, if you are electing a time that involves primarily the influences of the 7th house and 9th house, you can display a graph for each of these houses to assist you in electing the most auspicious time using methods that were widely used in Medieval Europe and are becoming increasingly popular today.
The Classical Electional Forecasts based on planets are based on the rules provided in the medieval book the Picatrix. An optional set of graphic images of the talismans described in Picatrix can also be purchased.
With the ease of use of having settings directly below the graph, and the ability to "zoom in" to a single day or even just a few hours and to zoom out to view months at a time, the AstroSignature and Electional Forecast Graphs enable you to see how a particular area of interest is affected at different times.
