Reviews from practicing astrologers around the world
I LOVE this software 🌹! I've been looking for years for a program that does everything ZEUS is capable of doing! It is awesome — not to mention the AMAZING support from the ZEUS team. Thanks to everyone involved in creating this software.
I've been looking for a good astrocartography mapping tool and Zeus is excellent — it might be the best out there, no compromises. It's like Google Maps, with even small towns, plus all the lines. And available for Mac to boot. Thank you so much and congrats on such an amazing effort. 🙂
You have a beautiful and powerful piece of astrology software. I admire it greatly. It seems to be superior to all others available.
I have worked with many software programs. Most of them have poor interfaces and limited extensibility — but Zeus is unique in all of these respects. Thanks for such a well-designed and practical application. It's one of the best I've seen.
Your program is awesome. I so appreciate all the thoughtful features and how thorough you've been — as well as how responsive you are. Thanks for all your efforts 🙏🏻
Special thanks to the developers of this amazing astrology program. I'm blown away by what it can do — it's taken my understanding of both astronomy and astrology to a whole new level. 🙂
Dmitry, your software is amazing. The astrocartography map in particular is fantastic for this kind of work.
I was blown away when I first tried ZEUS. I'd been using other programs for years and always felt something was missing. Here I get an enormous set of tools in one place — and the developers are always within reach. Just wonderful. The interface is intuitive, and what matters most to me: it comes with the Levin Academy orbs already set up.
The Sessions feature is genuinely brilliant. I'm not someone who gushes easily, but this is endlessly useful when you're working with multiple charts across different cities and configurations.
The graphic ephemerides are among the best I've ever seen. I used to say that only Solar Fire could plot secondary progressed Moon in declination — now I'll be recommending ZEUS. The ingresses and lunations are beautiful too, and copying charts to the clipboard is a real time-saver. The rectification workflow — switching methods for the same event or events for the same method with a single click — is magnificent. ZEUS for Mac is the best astrology program in the world. Honestly. I own all the major ones.
I came across ZEUS in a YouTube video — I liked the interface and had to track down what program it was. I just want to say: ZEUS is a top-tier tool. The single-aspectation feature for axial charts is incredibly useful. Thank you.
ZEUS is a serious program — it feels like sitting in a cockpit. After struggling with other tools for spatial astrology, I've concluded that for real professional work in this field, ZEUS is the only way to go.
In my view, this is an excellent program. It will satisfy professionals working with clients and researchers alike. Thanks to Dmitry's skill and dedication, the software has evolved significantly in a short time — and the updates won't stop there. I'm confident users have more pleasant surprises ahead.
Thank you so much for this wonderful program. It's polished, professional, and genuinely useful. It's the first astrology software since Almagest that I actually enjoy working in — and it has everything Almagest was missing. The support is fantastic too: questions get answered, and the tutorial videos are a great help.
A remarkably capable program. I'm an enthusiast rather than a professional, so I can't speak to all the advanced features — but from a regular user's perspective, it's approachable, easy to customize, and the setup videos made the learning curve much gentler. Thank you to the developers!
I wish you great success with ZEUS. It's outstanding work — I'd call it the finest astrology program in the world.
