Customizing a chart wheel is easy and elegant
Customizing chart wheels in Sirius is very easy and elegant. Both Kepler and Sirius allow you to right-click on a wheel and easily change the planets, aspects, fonts, and other features of the chart wheel. This powerful interactive capability of Kepler is fabulous. However, in Sirius, there are even more features and they are even easier to use.
- In Sirius you can place asteroids in any chart wheel. This feature is important because advances in astronomy in recent years has changed our understanding of the solar system, with Ceres now "promoted" to being a dwarf planet, Pluto being "demoted" to a dwarf planet, and asteroids nearly as large as Pluto found in the Kuiper Belt, an area where Pluto also orbits the Sun.
- You can also place the 9 Hellenistic lots (arabic parts) in a wheel and also just the Part of Spirit as well as the Part of Fortune.
- You can place up to a total of 20 asteroids and/or the Arabic Parts in the chart wheel. Sirius also has an Asteroids Wheel that allows you to place up to 65 asteroids in the outer ring of a wheel, as well as the ability to produce listings of asteroid positions.
- Sirius includes about 1,500 asteroids to choose from. (The optional 38,000 asteroids gives you the ability to select any of the over 14,000 named asteroids as well as other asteroids.)
