Heliocentric Planetary Aspects and Transits

Heliocentric Planetary Aspects and Transits is an application aimed at both amateur and professional astrologists who wish to explore world transits and personal transits, generate natal charts for a certain birth date and analyze synastry between two people’s birth dates.

This application is very similar to Planetary Aspects and Transits, the main difference between the two programs being that this one is based on the heliocentric system.

There are quite a few differences between geocentric and heliocentric astrology, such as the fact that two Zodiacs are used for the former and only one for the latter, so you should read up on these to ensure you choose the right program.

Planetary Aspects and Transits enables you to calculate world transits for a certain date, and the resulting info can be displayed in the form of a table or a chart. Timezones are supported, and you can quickly set the current date by clicking the “Now” button.

The application can be used to view the personal transits for a person’s birth date, generate natal charts and view the synastry between two entered birth dates.

Users can customize several parameters before performing calculations, such as the values of aspect orbs and proportion of orbs to be used with personal transits and synastry.

When it comes to the application’s graphical user interface, some improvements would certainly be welcome. While the simple layout should prove to be very novice-friendly, on the whole, the program has a somewhat outdated feel.

Planetary Aspects and Transits is a useful application for those who are interested in heliocentric astrology. It enables you to perform calculations involving world transits, personal transits, natal aspects and synastry, and it comes with a fairly extensive user manual.
