Overview

Forecasting

Solar Fire X treats forecasting as a first-class workflow: dynamic hit lists over any span, graphical Time Maps and ephemerides, animated charts, and traditional time-lord techniques alongside modern ones.

In practice

Preparing a year-ahead consultation, an astrologer runs a twelve-month transit-and-progression report, switches it to Time Map view to spot the dense seasons, prints the graphic ephemeris for the client folder, and bookmarks the two exact-hit weeks that deserve a closer look.

What's inside

01

Dynamic reports over any period

Generate a sorted hit-list of events between any two dates, then click any event to read its interpretation or view the exact chart.

  • Transits, secondary progressions and directions in one report
  • Primary directions with Placidus semi-arc, Regiomontanus and van Dam methods, multiple rate keys, classical or modern converse
  • Automated date options — a year from today, to the next birthday, and more
  • Interactive events: click through to charts and interpretation text

Time Maps and graphic ephemerides

See a year — or a decade — of motion as a shape, not a table.

  • Time Map graphs every dynamic event in the report along one timeline
  • Graphic ephemeris with selectable harmonics, points and periods
  • Overlay external time-series data — prices, sunspots, your own CSV figures — on the ephemeris
  • Print-ready output for client packs and research notes

Calendars and ephemerides

Working astrologers live by the calendar; Solar Fire X publishes one.

  • Monthly calendars of lunations, ingresses, stations and aspects
  • Export calendar events to your desktop calendar
  • Lunar gardening calendar for planting and routine timing
  • Ephemeris generator for custom listings over any period and interval
