Primary Directions in Sirius

Some very technically advanced primary directions features have been added. Sirius 1.0 has a good set of options for primary directions with the ability to select the timing of primary directions according to Cardan, Ptolemy, Kepler, etc. In Sirius 1.1 the range of features for primary directions is expanded, and you can now produce primary directions listings:

• (1) based on a calculation without latitude,
• (2) you can include planet crossings of planets over intermediate cusps using Placidian arcs, or you can select aspects to intermediate cusps using DeLuce's method,
• (3) you can choose whether you wish to include planet-to-planet primary directions, and if you do choose them, they can be calculated using either Placidian arcs or the Regiomontanus/Lilly method, and
• (4) You can select whether to include the 4 major asteroids and whether to include Chiron in the listings. Primary arc directions were a very important predictive method in ancient astrology, and more modern astrologers now use them. With these new features, Sirius 1.1 is capable of a producing more of the variations in methods used and becoming increasingly popular today.
