Sirius 4.0 includes over 90,000 charts of famous people, countries, company charts, etc. The earlier version of Sirius, version 3.0, has over 60,000 charts. Also, a large number of birth times and accuracy ratings have been corrected. We are grateful to Alois Treindl and his team at www.astro.com for their generosity and assistance.
Having a large database of charts included is tremendously convenient. If you wish to look at the chart of the Prime Minister or President of a country, or a well-known musician, artist, scientist or notable person for any other reason, there is a good chance that when you start entering their last name in the name field in the data entry screen, you will see their name. Click on it and in the notes field you will also see a link to the online AstroDatabank at www.astro.com. This ability to bring up the charts and click to confirm the data and obtain biographical information at www.astro.com is also in Sirius 3.0, and we are mentioning it here in case you are not familiar with these features and so you can appreciate some of the reasons why this huge database included with the software is very helpful.
