Update 2.5 has been released

  1. An experimental block for synastry calculation based on Ptolemy’s method has been implemented (menu “Analysis/Synastry”). This calculation block is universal and suitable for analyzing any pair, not just romantic ones. If you need to examine the relationship between a man and a woman, the first dial should be selected with the man’s data, and the second with the woman’s data. If other types of relationships are being considered, the “SEX” and “DURATION” columns can be ignored. The columns located below the red boundary line indicate that the influence is negative. Briefly, the algorithm consists of a comparative analysis of the partners’ luminaries, their Ascendants, as well as the Lots of Fortune, the Lots of Marriage, and the Lots of Necessity. In the future, this block will be enhanced by incorporating an analysis of the rulers of the main significators, considering malefic and benefic planets, performing individual analyses of each partner, and more. For now, this block can be treated as a preliminary evaluation of relationships. More about this method can be found in Georgy Mirsky’s video.

  2. A calculation block “House Element Connections” has been implemented (menu “Analysis/House Element Connections”). It is based on the system of S.V. Shestopalov, but also includes many flexible settings that can be accessed from the context menu. The main settings (house system, aspects, orbs, rulers…) used in the calculations of this block depend on the settings of the current configuration. Problematic planets: Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto. Problematic houses: VI, VIII, XII. Only major aspects are used. The table cells contain pop-up hints. By clicking on a selected cell, information about the house connections will be displayed at the bottom of the table. You can create your own interpretative text by formatting it similarly to the built-in text, saving it in “txt” format, placing it in the program’s “txt” folder, and selecting it in the menu “Settings/Global Settings” under the “Texts” tab. You can send comments and suggestions via chat, the forum, or email astrozeus@mail.ru.

  3. Astrocartography:

    • The ability to use interpretative texts for ACG lines and paran lines has been implemented. To display the text, click on the selected line.
    • Distances between populated areas are now shown not only in kilometers/meters but also in miles/feet.
    • A separate orb setting for parans has been implemented.
    • The lower limit for parans has been removed, now it can be set up to -90.

  4. Added projection of oblique ascension.

  5. The chart type can now be edited without entering the chart type catalog. To do this, right-click on the chart type name in the top panel and select “Edit Map Type.” In the chart type catalog itself, the context menu now includes the option to duplicate the selected chart type.

  6. The event search block by criteria in the Database has been improved:

    • Added a filter by rating.
    • Added pop-up hints to some window elements.
    • You can now go directly to the file containing the search result from the search window.

  7. In the “Planetary Pictures” calculation block, a “Midpoint” option has been added, allowing you to consider or disregard the equality of the axis on both ends. For example, if the Sun is at 8 degrees Leo, its influence also fully extends to 8 degrees Aquarius.

  8. In “Graphic Ephemerides,” calculations can now also be performed in the heliocentric system. A separate setting for the thickness of natal object lines has been added.

  9. In the “Event Sequence” table, the color of zodiac symbols now matches the color of the zodiac symbols in the current palette.

  10. Scrolling has been implemented in the “Arc Resonances” window.

  11. The Atlas has been significantly expanded with populated areas from the following countries: Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Albania, Algeria, Angola, Andorra, Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Aruba, Afghanistan, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bahrain, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Bulgaria, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Brazil, Brunei, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Bhutan, United Kingdom, Hungary, Venezuela, Vietnam, Gabon, Haiti, Guyana, Gambia, Ghana, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Germany, Guernsey, Honduras, Hong Kong, Grenada, Greenland, Greece, Georgia, Denmark, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Jersey, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Zambia, Western Sahara, Zimbabwe, Israel, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Ireland, USA.

FIXES:

  • The position of the background image on the scene was not saved. Fixed!
  • On the geomap, new locations were displaced from their original position when saved in a session and then opened. Now they are saved with the correct geolocation accuracy. Also, Local Space lines are now accurately drawn from the relocation point at small scales. New events are now recorded with precision, previously values were rounded to seconds. The map scale is now saved in sessions.
  • Some parameters in the object hints were incorrectly displayed in the sidereal projection.
  • Various other minor issues reported by users have been fixed.

In the astrocartography settings, there is a separate page for Parans, where you can choose: the intersection of which lines is taken into account for Parans, the range of latitudes in which calculations are performed, and configure the filter of Parans;

You can also display a list of Parans for a specific location, taking into account a certain orb. The list is also called from the context menu with the option “List of local Parans”;

Real-time display of mouse cursor coordinates is implemented. Coordinates are shown by pressing the left mouse button while simultaneously pressing Ctrl and Shift;

Now, when displaying on the map, you can use extra objects (you can use them in the context menu of the map). So, using this feature, you can output half-sums;

Thanks to the ability to use extra objects, you can now also use star lines;

Now new places can be added to the map directly from the Atlas. Option in the context menu of the map;

The display of eclipse lines has been implemented. From the context menu, select “Eclipses”, then select the necessary eclipse in the calculation block that appears, and select “Show on map” from the context menu. Any number of eclipses can be displayed on the map at the same time. To remove eclipse lines from the map, select “Remove Eclipse lines” from the context menu of the map.

Now the orb lines are displayed in the form of wider translucent lines. The Orb is configured in the map settings;

If necessary, you can download additional ephemeris files. To do this, select the appropriate asteroids from the list of available ones, right-click on any of them and select “Download ephemerides” from the context menu;

This catalog can be used both to determine the location of asteroids and to create thematic sets of asteroids, and apply them, for example, in the calculation block “Asteroid conjunctions”;

Adding asteroids from the available table to the selected table can be done by dragging and dropping or using the context menu. Asteroids can be marked for addition in any order using the standard features of the operating system;

You can delete asteroids from the selected list by pressing Del or using the context menu of the list;

Sorting in tables is possible by any parameter, for this you need to click on the appropriate header;

It is also possible to select all asteroids that have ephemerides at the moment in the program;

Data export in text format is implemented (from the context menu);

 

  1. Derivative houses are implemented, namely, the control element in the “Management” menu/Derivative Houses”, through which you can quickly select any cuspid as 1 house. A widget of the same name is also implemented, which can be added to the right control panel so that this feature is always at hand.

 

  1. Time Dynamics control tool – sliders now work in both directions without restrictions. Added information about the day of the week;

 

  1. The “Window of arc resonances” has been implemented. It is recommended for practitioners of axial and Uranian astrology. You can select it from the context menu “Windows of planetary paintings”. When clicking on any dynamic object, this window will show the coverage of this object in full arc, half arc and double arc. At the same time, the additional axes of the Pointer automatically adjust to the arc between this object and the natal one of the same name;

The windows of planetary paintings and arc resonances can be quickly replaced by each other by selecting the appropriate option from the context menu;

 

  1. An option has been added to the extra objects widget that allows you to quickly enable and disable extra objects. Duplicates the F5 hotkey.

ZEUS ONLINE

A light version of the ZEUS astroprocessor is implemented on the site. So far, the most basic functions are the construction of natal and various prognostic charts. It is possible to quickly change various settings. This version will continue to develop, but in what key is not yet clear. Let’s look at user feedback. The main idea of the online version is to provide certain functionality of the Zeus astroprocessor to those users who are not professionally engaged in astrology, who do not need any specific calculations, etc.

07.04.2024

Update 1.12 has been released

  1. It is possible to interrupt the calculation process in the blocks: “Transits”, “Progressions”;
  2. Adjusting the transparency of aspect lines now takes into account the operational correction of orbs;
  3. In the calculation block “Eclipses”, the information “Eclipse Maximum” now corresponds exactly to the maximum of the eclipse, and not to the exact between the luminaries. And the date of the eclipse uses exactly the exact time of the moon, which will be applied to the dials if necessary;
  4. Fixed an error related to the calculation of directional lots;
  5. Various minor bugs have been fixed for the mac OS version.

29.03.2024

Update 1.10 has been released

1. Fixed bugs related to aspect hints and aspectation of lots, leading to program freezes;
2. The “Sidereal hour” option has been added to the context menu of “Time Dynamics”.

18.03.2024

Update 1.8 has been released

1. Improved algorithm for adapting the size of scene objects to different monitors;

2. Fixed a problem related to the aspect of lots;

3. The lots were calculated incorrectly, in which the abbreviations H1-H12 appeared;

4. In the Multi-chart mode, the aspect pages applied to additional dials now depend on the type of chart.

5. Distributions now include ephemerides of the first thousand asteroids.

29.02.2024

1. Progressive lots are now calculated not for the reference time, but taking into account the selected algorithm of progressive cusps;

2. Time zone updates;

3. In the “Graphical ephemerides”, latitude graphs are now displayed correctly in the progression mode. Also, velocity graphs in the heliocentric coordinate system are displayed in a more visual version;

4. The ability to calculate the Davison card with any number of charts has been returned, but the “Spherical Mean” algorithm is available only for two charts. Also, additional explanations are now added to the names of the middle charts, indicating in which algorithm these charts were calculated;

5. In the “Calendar”, when exporting a table in pdf format, a fixed font size is now applied so that it is guaranteed to occupy one page of the pdf file. Also, the found defects have been fixed in this block;

6. Improvements in the rectification unit –
1. Only compounds are calculated with sign boundaries, i.e. only ingressions;
2. Some visual improvements;
3. Fixed hints to aspects;
4. you can not choose natal cusps, so that there is no temptation;
The coefficients change when the natal time changes, because the coordinates of the natal objects are recalculated. In this case, it is better to set the natal time to 12:00 before calculating, so the error will be no more than 5% for slow objects. It is better not to use the natal Moon;

7. In the calculation blocks of the Primary and Alexandrian Directorates, aspects with user points in the sidereal zodiac were calculated incorrectly. Fixed;
8. In geocard mode, when hovering the mouse over the objects of natal and relocation maps, visual artifacts were caused. Fixed;

13. Fixed bugs found related to showing aspect dynamics in multi-map mode.

14.02.2024

Update 1.5 has been released

1. The window of planetary pictures can now be placed in any place on the stage. To do this, select “Arbitrary position” from the context menu of the window, and drag the window with the left mouse button while holding Ctrl to any place on the scene;
2. The problem of open windows has been fixed for mac OS;
3. After switching on the multichart mode, the aspect dynamics window did not work correctly;
4. The defects found in the Rectification block have been corrected, and, if necessary, it will now be possible to delete selected events without re-forming the list from the database.
5. Minor bugs related to scene scaling have been fixed;
6. In the Firdary calculation block, clicking on the last line of periods caused the program to freeze;
7. The object “Monthly profection Asc” in the non-discrete version behaved as in a discrete;
8. The converter has improved support for the Astrodatabank format;
9. The dial selection did not work in the Calendar.

  3. A belt of Moon Mansions with tips for each sector has been implemented – Arabic and Indian versions (nakshatras). The ability to use interpretive texts for both parking options has also been added. For those who already have the app, these texts are posted on the resources of the ZEUS astroprocessor;
  4. To calculate Davison Average Charts, an option has been implemented that allows you to calculate geodetic coordinates not by the arithmetic mean, but by the spherical mean. This approach to this method was proposed by D. Kutalyov;
  5. The ability to calculate reverse geodetic equivalents has been implemented, namely when the MS equivalent is counted against the course of the Zodiac. The option is located in the context menu above the element for enabling Geodetic Equivalents;
  6. The “Lunations” calculation block now has two calculation modes: in the ecliptic projection and in the equatorial one. The first mode is the default, the second is enabled by an option from the context menu ;
  7. The context menu of the event pool (left panel) has been expanded:
    “Ignore “Here and Now” events” – these events will not be saved in the event pool;
    “Delete all saved”;
    “Delete unsaved”;
  8. Astrodatabank events have been updated ( presented in new distributions ). For those who already have the program, you can replace the SADC folder with a similar one posted on the resources of the ZEUS astroprocessor.
  9. The “Arc Resonances” calculation block has been significantly improved:
    The algorithm for determining the dynamics of resonances has been improved;
    When selecting a selection object, the Pointer is synchronously positioned on this object in the target circle;
    Residual orb values ​​are now displayed in seconds;
    The context menu has been expanded. You can now export a table to a text file or clipboard in various variations;

  10. In the “Primary Directions” calculation block, now, in addition to the date of the aspect, the time can also be shown (context menu option “Show time”);
  11. In the calculation block “Chronocrators by terms” a context menu is implemented with the ability to choose: whether to take into account the higher planets, use the true or average Node, whether to calculate only Divisors or also Ray Rulers;
  12. The abbreviation of radix cards EV has been replaced by RA .

FIXES

  1. In multichart mode, chart hints were cut off;
  2. Switching to multichart mode resulted in incorrect operation in “Aspect Dynamics”;
  3. In the “Aspect Graphs” block, exact strokes for directional aspects were not displayed correctly under certain direction settings;
  4. In the chart element settings, the “Names of extra-objects” option has been renamed to “Clarifications for extra-objects”. This option name more accurately corresponds to the result, namely, when the option is active, for stars, asteroids, eclipses and lunations, clarifying names or abbreviations of these objects will be displayed in addition to symbols.
    A bug has also been fixed when, when the “Names of extra-objects” option was deactivated, the coordinates of extra-objects disappeared;
  5. In the Aspects table, sometimes the dynamics of parallels (convergence/divergence) were not displayed correctly;
  6. In a separately opened chart, triplicity was not displayed correctly;
  7. Found errors in translation into English have been corrected;
  8. The time zone format in time dynamics now shows not in decimal format, but in sexagesimal;

  11. In Atlas, the font now changes depending on global settings;
  12. Various other minor bugs have been fixed.

14.10.2023

Update 1.3 has been released

INNOVATIONS

  1. In the “Coordinates” table of the scene, the cusps are now displayed taking into account their visibility on the chart. Thus, there are now two filters working together to display cusps in this table: a common filter – where cusps are selected for display from the context menu of the table, and an individual filter for each dial located in the Objects menu of dials;
  2. In the “Arc Resonances” block, an alternative output has been added to a text file, in which data is grouped by objects;

  4. The event pool provides protection against an empty string that may occur in the file due to manual editing by the user;
  5. Fixed a problem in the calculation block “Planetary Hours”;
  6. In the calculation block of “Returns”, the result was duplicated when the “Progressive Return” option was activated;
  7. In graphical ephemerides, the declination line of the Southern Lunar Node coincided with the Northern One;
  8. The algorithm for the sidereal zodiac has been corrected in the calculation block “Primary Directions”;
  9. The abbreviations of elements in the English version of the interface were not correctly displayed in the calculation block “Temperament”;
  10. The opening of the calculation block “Ingressions and Phases” in the heliocentric mode caused the program to hang;
  11. There was no “Aspect Configurations” menu on macOS;
  12. If there is a table of the “Coordinates” scene, switching to the heliocentric mode could cause the program to hang.

10.09.2023

Update 1.2 has been released

INNOVATIONS

  1. Thematic houses are implemented, namely, when any object is taken as an Asc, but the grid of houses is calculated according to the selected domification system, for example, Placidus, Alcabisi, etc. – https://t.me/astrozeus_chat/20288;
  2. The possibility to calculate progressive returns is implemented in the calculation block of “Returns”. This refers to the map at the moment when a transit object passes through its own secondary progression in a given year. Alan Leo wrote about the importance of such treatment;
  3. The calculation unit “Arc Resonances” has been improved:
    The interface has become more intuitive;
    The arc can now be used not only directional, but also other types of maps, for example, transit;
    Added S64 scale;

    The data in the column of the residual value of the orb is now displayed with an accuracy of up to a second;



CORRECTIONS

  1. when changing the set of aspects in the right panel, there was no change in the display of the selected set in the lower status bar – https://t.me/astrozeus_chat/20192;
  2. In the table of the scene “Sequence of events”, if you enable the option “Accounting for parallels in latitude”, the data in the aspect column was not formatted correctly;
  3. In the table of the “Coordinates” scene, latitudes and declinations were not recalculated during the transition to the solar system – https://t.me/astrozeus_chat/24307;
  4. Saturn was not drawn in the objects of the extra-dial of the “Half–Sum” – https://t.me/astrozeus_chat/23056 .
  5. When the Time Dynamics was applied to an event with the Julian calendar, the calendar was automatically switched in the event (by the date of the reform), and as a result, the map was rebuilt with an offset according to the new style – https://t.me/astrozeus_chat/20335
  6. Fixed errors related to incorrect display of information in the hints of objects in the heliocentric system and the mundane projection.

 

17.08.2023

Update 1.1 has been released

  1. Improved stability of the program;
  2. The extra objects of the “Mutation” had the same glyphs for their two variations. For better visual orientation on the chart and in tables, these glyphs were replaced with abbreviations: for the previous mutation – “GCp“, for the nearest – “GCn“. Who uses these extra objects, you need to replace these objects with a new variant in the sets where they are used;
  3. A Black Moon has been added to the “Ingressions and Phases” block;
    Part of the aspect hint information showing the dynamics of aspects in progressions is deactivated due to the heavy load on the processor;
