Description provided by Cosmic Patterns - the developers of Kepler
Kepler, like other high end astrology programs, provides a great number of calculations (different chart wheels, midpoints, harmonics, helio, etc). Some of the more unusual features are: hundreds of beautiful graphic images with astrological motifs, a great deal of educational material, and the financial analysis, research capabilities and AstroMap functions are built into the program rather than being optional add-ons. It also has a very enlightening, entertaining, and beautiful audio-visual multimedia interpretation, the 'Live Mini Reading', which is based on a sophisticated combination of harmonic theory and cosmobiology.
Please go to the Features List for a full list of Kepler features. Here are some highlights:
AstroMaps
The AstroMaps are unlike other maps you have seen. There are options to see a tinted area around a line to see exactly how far the influence extends, you can include lines of midpoints, minor aspects, and asteroids, and other unique features like the 'treasure maps'.
Specific Examples of Ease of Use
- While you enter the person's name (or place of birth), a list of names (or places) to select from automatically appears - no hunting around or pressing keys to tell Kepler to look up the data.
- Handy features like the ability to remove the listing of famous charts so you can see only your own with 2 mouse clicks make using the program fun and easy.
- Just do what you need to do: for example suppose you need to change the spelling of a person's name that has been saved on disk; all you do is change the spelling and the database is updated for you. Removing data is just as easy.
- When entering the place of birth, you can simply begin entering the place, and then you also have the option to narrow the listing of cities to one country or state, a useful feature when you are unsure of the correct spelling.
- Any printout being viewed on the screen can be printed by simply clicking the 'Print This Screen' button. See also the discussion of 'batch mode' and 'interactive mode' above for more information on this.
- If you are pre-selecting printouts ('batch mode') and need to un-select a printout, just un-check the box.
- Seemingly complex requests like a BiWheel with Jack's natal chart in the center and Jill's progressed chart on the outside is very easy to do.
- Visual previews that show you the AstroMap, wheel style or wheel feature that you are selecting make it easy to get exactly the printout desired before you view or print it.
- Customize a wheel while you select it, and also make these selections the new default if you like.
- Easy Conversion of Old Style Calendar (Julian) to New Style Calendar (Gregorian).
- Edit the text in an interpretive report.
- Translate an interpretive report into other languages.
- Create your own interpretive report.
Education
Astro Encyclopedia is a very comprehensive and thorough astrological reference work built into the Kepler program. Diagrams and images are included to help you better understand advanced subjects such as midpoint structures as well as the basics. Astro Encyclopedia also provides a huge glossary of terms and excellent articles on many topics.
Avalon College is a self-learning system that is built into the Kepler program. Avalon College is not a physical school, nor is it a home-study course. Avalon College is the name that we give to this part of the Kepler program, where you can learn astrology step-by-step. Currently Avalon College consists of 46 classes and it teaches basic and intermediate astrological concepts. In the future Avalon College will be expanded to include advanced levels of study.
Avalon College includes detailed lessons, tests and quizzes (you even get graded) before you proceed to the next lesson and a logical, systematic approach that makes it possible for you to learn astrology on your own.
Avalon College is a very thorough and comprehensive course, complete with graphic illustrations and tests . If you take the entire course and pass all of the tests, you will have a thorough grasp of astrological principles. In fact, you may find that you will amaze yourself with your ability to understand people by analyzing their birth charts. With additional study in advanced areas you will be able to take (and pass!) tests administered by various astrological organizations to receive certification from these organizations, and you will have the information you need to interpret charts and teach others. We recommend interpreting dozens of charts for people without any charge before beginning to charge for your services, and to devote at least a few years of study before becoming a professional in the astrological field.
If you prefer a less structured approach to learning, and you prefer to browse around, you can browse through the topics in Avalon College, or you may find that Kepler's Astro Encyclopedia is more to your liking. Avalon College is particularly good for people who want a complete and thorough understanding of astrology, and want to study astrology in a systematic manner, starting with the basics and progressing to more advanced topics.
Research Capabilities
Some of the research features are exciting. You can ask Kepler to search for all angles and all possible midpoint structures in a group of charts. This 'assumptionless research' feature is excellent, and you can also build AstroSignatures or modify the ones that are included in the program.
The research-oriented astrologer can find out which charts have a particular aspect or planet in a sign or house. For example, you can find out which charts have Sun trine Jupiter. You can also select a specific range of research codes to study particular groups of people, such as just athletes, or just basketball players, or just musicians, or just singers, or just jazz singers.
Kepler has highly sophisticated research capabilities. In addition to basic research capabilities, Kepler can analyze all angles between all planets and print a sorted list of which angles occur most often. This is 'assumption-less' research and it can reveal startling new information. This kind of research is designed for serious researchers who are willing to take days or weeks to analyze and think about the research results. If you are a serious researcher, this is a tool that is likely to open new doors for you!
The next step in the research process is even more exciting. Suppose that you decide from the research results that the group of people you are studying is more likely to have Sun conjunct, square, or opposition Saturn, Moon in Capricorn, or also Moon, Mercury, and Venus in hard aspect to Saturn. You also conclude that the Sun square Saturn aspect is most important, Sun opposition Saturn is next most important, etc.
You can create an 'astrological signature' with the exact weights that you want for each astrological factor that is part of the astrological signature. Your astrological profile can be as complex as you like, and you can even have factors such as: 'if Sun is in Capricorn and Moon is in Capricorn, give 10 points, but if only the Sun in Capricorn give 5 points, and if only the Moon is in Capricorn, give 3 points'. Developing these complex rules for your astrological signature is not trivial; this is a tool for the serious researcher. These are tools that enable one to validate astrology and are for the serious-minded researcher.
Kepler includes 4 hypothetical astrological signatures that were developed with this research capability: alcoholism, image consultant (a profession), football quarterback, and baseball pitcher. If additional research confirms these astrological signatures, then these hypotheses become theories that if repeatedly duplicated become the beginnings of a science of astrology. If this level of serious research is not your cup of tea, that's OK. Kepler provides a vast amount of information for various kinds and levels of interests. You can enjoy the results of the research in any case by running the hypothetical astrological signatures on people you know to see what scores they get.
AstroDatabank Users: Kepler provides a very cool feature. While in the data entry screen, you can read chart data directly from the AstroDatabank database! This elegant integration of Kepler and AstroDatabank is a big plus.
Other Unique Features
There are other unique features, like the Time Line Profile, which shows periods of accident proneness, etc., and you can customize the AstroSignature used to make these predictions. In summary, Kepler provides many unique features at a very reasonable price. Even if you have other astrological software, there is a good chance you will benefit from purchasing this program.
