Intellectual Astrology

I spent the last year exploring all the best information on how and why astrology works. After collaborating with astrologer customers on the software for thirty years, it was time to look out the window and to reflect. The result is an essay on Intellectual Astrology that is now the opening 40-page chapter of the version 10 program Help manual. The completely updated manual comes on the CD in the Program Manual folder as an indexed 538-page pdf file, in addition to accompanying the program as electronic Help. My essay is an incentive for you to purchase the version 10 program. The essay topic headings and its bibliography of over 80 sources, many of which will be new to you, appear below.
