Description provided by Esoteric Technologies and Astrolabe - the developers of JigSaw
JigSaw puts the pieces together when you're working with any group of charts.
JigSaw is a powerful astrological research tool designed to reveal the 'big picture' in any group of charts. It's now easy to learn the program because it comes with five hours of tutorials!
JigSaw is divided into three sections:
- Rectification
- Family Patterns
- Research
Each section is composed of a distinct and different set of tools created for examining the astrological relationships between people and life. The features have been expanded and automated to increase both the accessibility to beginners and the scope for professional astrologers.
The most recent version of Jigsaw includes 18 separate tutorials -- a total of FIVE HOURS of tutorials. BERNADETTE BRADY shares her astrological knowledge and technical know-how to help you make the most of your JigSaw in these tutorials. JigSaw has always included a useful On-line Manual. This most recent tutorial version steps beyond the manual and provides insights into the WORKINGS OF THE PROGRAM as well as the THINKING BEHIND THE METHODS.

Jigsaw is a powerful and fun-to-use Windows™ program that enables you to find the connecting links in large or small groups of horoscopes. It has three sections:
Group AstroDynamics
Group AstroDynamics features the new and exclusive Group Astro Dynamics Report. Never before in the astrological world has there been a report of this kind. This profile, unique to JigSaw v. 2, is based on the work of world-renowned astrologer Bernadette Brady. You will be amazed at what you find out about your groups and how different individuals link into the group dynamic. Discover the psychological dynamics in your family or any group. At the click of a button, you can produce a report of up to 10 pages consisting of the following:
- house and sign emphasis in any group of 3 or more people
- the prominent harmonic and midpoint patterns, complete with an analysis of any vacant points
- Bernadette Brady's insightful interpretations revealing the patterns of the group.
The Group AstroDynamics section also enables you to manually search for patterns within groups of charts. Once you have determined the pattern, you can click on the delineate button and produce your own profile report with interpretations. This section has to be seen to be believed!
Group AstroDynamics is an exciting way of doing multi-chart synastry. It takes any group of people or events that have something in common, and displays their charts on the screen side by side in linear rather than circular form. This immediately lets you see what degrees are shared by the charts.
You can draw a line through any degree to see what all the charts have on that degree, or highlight any planet or midpoint to see where it falls in each of the charts. You can also instantly change the harmonic of the charts to see the various kinds of inter-aspects or harmonic patterns within the group. Plus, you can view any chart in wheel form.
The program will also search for family patterns, using whatever harmonics, planets, midpoints or degrees you specify. It then quickly displays the patterns it finds in easy-to-read circular diagrams.
You'll be amazed to see how the purpose of the group is shown astrologically, and how the different individuals link into the group dynamic!
Rectification
Rectification is now automated making unknown birth times easier to find than ever. Just enter the life events and natal details and, in an instant, you will get a list of suggested birth times ranked in order of the scores that they receive when tested against transits, progressions and directions. The automated process is an excellent introduction to rectification, while the manual process has been improved for greater ease of use. This section is now ideal for both the beginner and advanced astrologer.
Other new features in this section included facilities to rectify using secondary and tertiary progressions and solar arc directions. Astrologers can also use more than one graph to combine both Geocentric and Heliocentric coordinate systems in the rectification process.
Another delightful addition is the improved Dynamic Chart. It's now possible to watch all of the planets rotate around a chart. Astrologers will want to spend hours just in this section alone watching transiting, progressing and solar arc directed planets spin around charts highlighting important aspects before their very eyes!
Even if you know the birth time, the rectification module can tell you much about how a chart responds to transits. It can also help you make minor adjustments to a known birth time so as to improve the accuracy of forecasts.
Research
Research is even more fun when you use the new and powerful Criteria Search section. The list of criteria is seemingly never-ending. Just some of the possibilities include planets in signs, houses, decanates, plus essential dignities, altitude, declination, azimuth and more. This new version of JigSaw even allows you to search for degree and chart almutens! Simply set up your almuten in the new almuten editor and add it to your list of criteria.
A new data entry screen for easier use with extra options makes for the professional researchers' dream software. You can add unlimited numeric or textual data fields to each record in a project and this data may be used to select or filter records using Boolean logic. Data files can be of unlimited length.
The research section of JigSaw is one of the most powerful research tools on the market. Whatever the user specifies results in an instantaneous graphic display of results. Bar or polar graphs let you see in a flash whether the effect is worth pursuing, and tables give exact figures. Plus, you can click on any part of a graph or table for an instant chi-square evaluation.
Here, as in all parts of JigSaw, you can keep a file of notes associated with each project you do. You can also make permanent, high-resolution printouts of all the charts, tables, graphs and diagrams, either for a personal record or for articles and research papers.
JigSaw 2 links with the ACS Atlas and includes the following data:
- Life events for Buzz Aldrin
- Life events of Richard M. Nixon
- Life events of Cyril Fagan
- 34 timed astronaut charts
- 43 timed British royal family charts
